Have you ever wondered why Columbia, SC is called Killumbia? Where did it come from? Who started it? Every legend has a beginning...
South Carolina heavyweight King KIllumbia first began to use the word Killumbia in 1998 on Myspace as a play on city. It wasn't until 2014 he released the KILLUMBIA song featuring SC Rap Legends (Mr. Flip, Lil Brod, Lele Badbad, Gemstar Da Goldenchild, Davyne, Lil Ru, TD tha Don, 48 Yatti, Jazmine Phoenix, Marvolus & Natalac). The planning of the song begin in 2010 when he was signed to leading SC label Head Hunter Records. What makes the track so special is the anthematic beat with an R&B Hook, every artist was hand selected based on style. Commercial, Crunk, Street, Female, Emcee & OG. That formula was duplicated again on the second half the song. Killumbia appeared on his album Problems & on many Mixtapes. Several SC radio stations even had the song in rotation.
Since then Killumbia has grown to be the street name of Columbia.
