Kaliber 44 is a hip hop band formed at the end of 1994 in Katowice, Poland. The group is dubbed the most influential Polish hip hop band, while their so-called hardcore psycho rap style is the most prominent. Their are the voice of a generation of the Polish youth growing up in Poland in the 90’s and early 2000’s. The groups has won numerous industry awards including the “Fryderyk” award which is considered a Polish Grammy Award. The first part of the name indicates the calibre of problems the group sings about. The number 44 is a reference to a prophetic poem Dziady written by Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz.
“Księga Tajemnicza. Prolog”, released in 1996, was the first Polish hardcore psychorap album and the second one where live-scratching technique was used. Their two other albums – “W 63 minuty dookoła świata” (released in 1998) and “3:44” (released in 2000) were completely devoid of psychorap style. The show at Joe’s Live will be a first appearance of Kaliber 44 in the the United States since the 90’s.
