100 Kila at Dirty Gradina near Sozopol on 13 August - Six-Time Rapper of the Year on the Bulgarian Coast

100 Kila plays Dirty Gradina near Sozopol on 13 August, with the show starting as late as 23:00. One of the most recognisable names in Bulgarian hip-hop is coming to a campsite stage right on the coast.

Yavor Dimitrov Yanakiev was born in Varna in 1985, into a poor family. His father left when he was thirteen; his mother went to work in Greece. He started his career on Misho Shamara's label, then called R'n'B Records - the same scene that produced Gumeni Glavi.

He is not just a rapper. During the hip-hop wave he also worked as a DJ at black parties and established himself as one of the better ones in the industry, and as a producer he has worked with Lora Karadzhova, Magi Zhanavarova, Geri-Nikol, Bobo, Dicho of D2, Tsvetelina Yaneva and Neli Rangelova. He holds six Rapper of the Year awards. The hits "Tsyala Nosht" with Lora Karadzhova, "Az sam 6", "Antistop", "Gaz do Dupka" and "Lanets na Vrata Mi" are the ones he is best known for.

Tickets via bilet.bg run around 925 denars for standard entry. Organisers warn that buying a ticket does not mean a reserved table - that takes a separate call. Dirty Gradina sits inside the Gradina campsite, an easy stop for anyone spending the summer on the Bulgarian coast.
