Kaotik was born Stephen Pippin in Cookeville, Tennessee on March 21, 1984. At the young age of 7, he became interested in hip hop and performed his first rap in the second grade at his class’ talent show. Became serious about writing his freshman year after being influenced by such artists as 2pac, Bone Thugs n Harmony, DMX, Ja Rule and other rappers at that time. After several years of working on his craft, Kaotik eventually dropped his first album entitled ‘Poem of a Stranger’ in January of 2006. After recieving mixed reviews due to the controversial content of the album, Kaotik was named by HipHopLinguistics.com as ‘One Of The Best Underground Artists Of 2006’. He released his second  album ‘Writin’ At Night’ on October 1, 2007. The album contains many more stand-out tracks than his debut, but most noteably ‘My Last Ride’, which is Kaotik’s self-proclaimed favorite track about his final day on earth and the ride afterward. Kaotik is currently working on his 3rd solo ‘Oblivion’ as well as his debut group album ‘Southern Hospitality’ with his protege Valley under the group name 931 Boyz.
