Kill NF (born Arman Babayan) is an underground rap performer, lyricist and beat-maker, based in Yerevan (Armenia). Being a teenager, the first signs of interest towards the afro-american musical culture started to showed up, mostly concentrated on hip-hop, funk and soul. Early recordings by the acts like Run DMC, The 2 Live Crew, Ice T, Das EFX, KRS-ONE strongly influenced Arman at this age. The first serious attempts of rap performance were made in 2002 within a track titled "Different Levelz", which was produced and featured by Mad Dee Jay (X-Phobos/X.P.H. Crew) and gained a huge success among the local underground community. During further years Kill NF had been working hard on his technique, simultaneously putting down rap poetry for his future tracks, also taking part in numerous local urban festivals, and from 2009 Kill NF started to produce his own beats.
