About Venture Klan
Through hard-hitting instrumentals, sharp lyricism, and contrasting cadences, Venture Klan tells the story of two young men who embody the spirit of Harlem while bringing something fresh to the culture. Known for blending their love of anime and pop culture references with bold musical stylings, Venture Klan has carved a unique lane in hip-hop.
Formed in 2007 by high school classmates Ave Campbell and BukDaWorld, the duo quickly bonded over their shared interests and competitive personalities. Over the years, Venture Klan has gained recognition throughout New York City for their energetic performances, comedic flair, and involvement in community initiatives, as well as their signature VentureMania event series.
Venture Klan has shared stages with hip-hop legends like Kool Keith (Ultramagnetic MC’s), Large Professor, Prince Paul, and Leaders of the New School, and they toured with Hot 97’s DJ Drewski. After releasing It Takes A Village in 2021 and a series of successful videos in 2022, they kicked off 2023 by reviving their podcast, bringing back the fan-favorite VK Dojo Freestyle Series, and dropping their new single "DOJO." With the release of The Side Effects of The Sun Vol. 1, they continue to push boundaries, offering a bold exploration of success and its complexities.
