UniKKatiL birth name Viktor Palokaj, also known as Rebel a.k.a. UniKKatiL; born in 1981 in Pristina,[Kosovo] – is a successful rapper and producer from Kosovo, who is generally viewed and as the ‘King’ (also self proclaimed) of the Albanian hip-hop scene. He has been one of the prolific pioneers of Shqip Rap (Albanian Rap) since 1994. Unikkatil has continued producing successful tunes while living in the The Bronx, New York and in Kosovo. Unikkatil raps in Albanian and English though his main focus is in the Albanian language. In the late 90s/early 21st century Shqip Rap was mostly commercial based until Unikkatil brought something fresh to the game, explicit hiphop. Explicit hiphop did exist in one form or another in Albanian rap however it was never popularized and never really grabbed the attention of a greater audience. The skillful delivery, witty metaphorical rhymes of Unikkatil changed the game and many rap artists have taken his direction, leaving the commercial party scene with soft, simple rhythmitic and to the point hip-hop behind. Although Viktor has gained fame recently he has been around for quite a long time. He actually started recording songs such as “Demokraci” (Democracy) and “Ta Zhdukim Policinë” (Let’s Vanish The Police) way back in 1992. Viktor's first professional song entitled “Zinxhirët Qe S’kputen” (Chains That Don’t Break) . Viktor moved to the USA in 1996 because of trouble back home in Kosovo. There, in the heavily Albanian populated Bronx, he got along with many of other Albanians and started producing music. In 1998 he, along with fellow Albanians, created a joking-around freestyle and in the same year he created a song called “If I Die U Die” which is considered by many as the best ‘American-style’ rap song ever made by an Albanian. Since his rise to fame in Albanian Rap he has had many hit singles including: "Kejt Hajvan", "Qa Tha", "Ju Ha Per S'gjalli", "Veq Edhe Niher", "N'Rrot Somes" and many other songs of the album KANUNI I KATILIT. Now he is the most wanted V.I.P in Kosova.
The solo album "Kanuni I Katilit" was released on December 17. 2007. It hit stores mainly in Kosovo and other Albanian populated areas.
