More about the Artists:

KARMACY
A derivation of the Sanskrit word Karma, suggesting fate or destiny, where one’s selected actions determine his or her own future. Karmacy’s four members – Swap, Sammy Chand, Nimo and KB – decided to take fate into their own hands, by taking the artform of Hip Hop, which has been transformed by the commercialization of the industry behind it, and bringing it back to the days of pure expression. Using Hip Hop as a medium through which they communicate their thoughts, Karmacy transcends typical perceptions and ideologies appealing to music listeners in all corners of the world.
