Klan Istok is a Macedonian hip hop group formed in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia, in 2000. The initial lineup consisted of Slavcho Koviloski a.k.a. Profo, Stojan Kaevski a.k.a. Man X, Aleksandar Koviloski a.k.a. Brother Alek, Dejan “Deco” Metodijeski and Martin Georgievski a.k.a Mariachi.
History
editKlan Istok released their first album in 2005, titled Prviot Udar or First Strike. First Strike was in many ways indeed a first strike on the Macedonian hip hop scene. At least, the media at the time described it as such. The group's fans seemed to like it as well, and in general the album received rave reviews.[1] After releasing their first album Klan Istok went on an extended hiatus, releasing a follow up album titled Open Season only in 2013. They appear as an opening act to Jeru The Damaja in Sofia (2007), Coolio in Skopje (2009), and RZA of Wu Tang Clan in a 2011 edition of a Balkan Hip Hop festival. Some of the members of Klan Istok have also performed as Busta Rhymes support group in 2012. Klan Istok is the first Macedonian group to have with the live performance in New York in 2018.[2] Meanwhile, since 2005, Profo and Brother Alek are holding lectures in Macedonian high schools, universities and cultural centers. By 2008, they have published three books about hip-hop and urban culture, unique on the Balkans. They are the founders of the organization Hip Hop Macedonia and produced and directed two documentaries about hip-hop: The Puzzle (2015)[3] and New York: The Pilgrimage (2020).[4]
Lyrics and legacy
editThe main theme of their songs is social activism, although other themes are not ignored. The group often called for a change in the Macedonian political system, describing it as fragile, fragile, false and corrupt. Clan East is considered one of the greatest hip-hop groups in North Macedonia, influenced on artists such as: Slatkaristika, Toni Zen, Kacar, Skit Skitara, among others.[5]
