Josh the Killer (JTK) is the musical alias of the emerging rapper currently based in Canada, formally named Chijioke Okorie. His moniker plays off an alternate meaning of the word "kill", which is to overwhelm someone with emotions, and he strongly associates it with his intentions when creating music. JTK is an iron-ring holder and a University of New Brunswick graduate who moved to Canada in 2013 for his studies. He has since released a steady stream of singles, covers, and EPs, captivating his listeners with his raw and authentic sound. His slogan states, "I paint pictures with words and sounds."
