About the Artist

Killer-Matt (born Matthew Robert McFall) is a dynamic and unapologetically authentic rap artist emerging from Wilmington, Delaware. Raised in some of the city’s most unforgiving environments, his music is forged from lived experience, resilience, and an unfiltered desire to be heard. Known for sharp lyricism, aggressive delivery, and vivid storytelling, Killer-Matt is a true multi-hyphenate whose influence extends beyond music. Deeply rooted in skateboarding culture, he gained early recognition as a sponsored skater in his teens and played a key role in the development of Newport Skatepark—now a cornerstone of Delaware’s skate scene. His presence within cannabis culture is equally longstanding, blending activism with artistry in a way that has helped shape local conversations and movements. While attending William Penn High School in New Castle, Delaware, Killer-Matt began rapping at just 14 years old, quickly earning attention for his commanding presence and clever wordplay. His path, however, was marked by turbulence. A well-documented past involving street life, drug involvement, arrests, short jail terms, and felony charges became an inescapable part of his story—one that now fuels the gritty realism and authenticity embedded in his music. A longtime advocate for cannabis reform, Killer-Matt has been an active voice in Delaware’s push toward marijuana legalization since the early 2000s. Through town halls, government meetings, marches, organizing efforts, protests, and music centered on reform, he consistently applied grassroots pressure that helped amplify public support and keep legalization at the forefront—culminating in the successful legalization of cannabis in Delaware. His breakthrough came with the independently released single “I’ma D Boy,” accompanied by a viral video that gained widespread traction throughout Delaware and surrounding regions. He followed with “Super Villain,” a standout track featuring 65 superhero analogies and metaphors, which went viral across social platforms and drew attention from tri-state underground rap fans as well as industry insiders. Killer-Matt further solidified his credibility with a feature on Cassidy’s “Who Got Bars” Vol. 1, proving his ability to stand alongside established hip-hop heavyweights. Additional collaborations with artists such as Dick Dastardly, Swish Maddie, Dat Nicca Trendz, Quillz, and Grave-bait of Wiked Wood showcase his versatility across multiple rap subgenres. Recognizing his growing impact, ThisIs50.com named Killer-Matt Delaware’s #1 Up-and-Coming Rap Artist, while Dopetrackz.com ranked him #2 on its Delaware Top Ten Rappers list—further cementing his status as one of the state’s most promising talents. Since 2017, he has released over 35 tracks, demonstrating consistency, evolution, and dedication to his craft. His involvement in F.O.S. battle rap competitions and numerous live performances highlights his ability to command crowds and thrive under pressure. Most recently, Killer-Matt released “Dave Koresh,” “GTFO,” “Demons,” and “Breakfast” across all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, and Deezer—marking a new chapter in his career and positioning him as a leading force in Wilmington’s next wave of hip-hop. A catalyst within Delaware’s hip-hop movement, Killer-Matt represents innovation, redemption, and unfiltered truth—transforming a turbulent past into powerful art that resonates deeply with today’s audience.
