ATH KIDS is a collective, formed in 2015 by Valentin Rivera and Kareem Kalokoh.

The collective represents the urban Athenian culture, aiming to express Athens city’s new wave of hip hop from a different perspective. The city is what inspires the collective; it is their common thread. Their music – rap / hip hop in genre – is hugely influenced by a Greek, and moreover Athenian spirit, despite its English lyrics.

ATH Kids operate not only as a collective but also as a family. They create everything on their own initiative, based on their personal taste and resources. The final result – everything from their music and lyrics to their music videos – emerges solely from their collective work and resources. In the five years they have been working together, they have performed at various music festivals and venues across Europe as representatives of an emerging Greek rap and hip hop music scene.
