There’s, no simple way to describe Hip-Hop duo Kataztrofee. From their staple colorfully coordinated wardrobe, southern roots, and catchy beats, to their clever lyrics, vibrant stage presence, and domineering swag, the pair known as Victory and Mr Arrogant, create exciting music you simply can’t forget.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, Eric “Victory” Johnson and Shannon “Mr Arrogant” Speed met in middle school and became friends over their love of freestyling. The pair quickly became well known around town for their witty freestyle battles and it wasn’t long before the rising stars decided to become the group known as “Kataztrofee.” The duo recorded several mixtapes in the early days and stayed on the grind, passing out CDs and performing at local venues to gain fans.
Inspired by the likes of Hip Hop moguls Diddy, Jay-Z, Master P, Russell Simmons, Dr. Dre, Nelly and 50 Cent, Kataztrofee has their hands in several entrepreneurial endeavors of their own.
