Viktor Palokaj (born 18 March 1981), known professionally as Unikkatil (stylized as UniKKatil), is a Kosovan-Albanian rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer. He was one of the first Albanian rappers and the leader of TBA (The Bloody Alboz). The message that he sends throughout his songs and the fact that he never made a music video during his career makes his style of rap unique. Although he is not as active in the music industry nowadays, he is still considered by many as the best Albanian rapper of all time.[1][2][3][4][5]
Early life
Viktor Palokaj known as Unikkatil was born on 18 March 1981 in Pristina, and started his career 12 years later with the song "Zinxhirt qe s'kputen". At the time with the problems in Kosovo, between ethnic Albanians and Serbs, "Radio Selavija" (the only radio station in Kosova at the time) was scared to air his song because of the way he was insulting the Serbs on the record. Viktor went to middle school in Pristina and was at the same time a member of the Karate Club named "Studenti". After successfully finishing middle school, he registered in the Sami Frashëri High School. There, he went through different problems and as a result he was expelled from school three times. He mentions this in his song "Ni Milion Rrugë".
Because of a personal problem with a family member, Viktor emigrated with his family in 1996 to The Bronx, New York City, in the United States.
After moving to the United States, Viktor opened his own Studio called "CONQUEROR RECORDS" Where from 1998 to 2000 he only did songs in English, one of the songs that Viktor and his friend Milot did was "Bloody Alboz". They came up with the idea of the rapgroup "THE BLOODY ALBOZ" which in the Albanian language means "Shqipet e Përgjakshme".
The first members that joined the group were: Unikkatil, Milot, Presion, ZEF, Klepto, Cyanide, Jeton, NAG and B52, with the last one dying in April of 2018 due to a heart attack.
Unikkatil released his first album in 2002 called "Shihemi N'përkujtime", then in 2004 he released "Fjalët E Pavdekshme", next in 2005 Unikkatil presented "The Bloody Alboz", "Armiqt Suprem" which 3 days after its release sold about '8000' copies. After one year he released "Kanuni Katilit" his last album to date.
