Evil Pimp (born Catrin Terrell Rhodes) is an American recording rap artist from Memphis, Tennessee. He is the founder of the group Krucifix Klan, of which Stan Man, Lady Dead and Playa Rob are also members. Evil Pimp is co-owner of the label Slaughterhouse Records. His musical style is commonly labelled Horrorcore—and is characterized by dark themes—especially drugs, violence and Satanism.
He grew up in Westwood in southwest Memphis and lived with his aunt until her untimely death when he was sent to his grandmother’s house in Binghampton - a rather poverty stricken area in Midotwn Memphis. Stability was elusive, however, and he was moved again after his Grandmother’s deteriorating health, living then in Cordele, Georgia with other family members. After his unsettled youth, the Man he became eventually relocated himself to the Midwest. In Iowa, he settled down and began working intently on his musical career, exploring the electronic keyboard; making samples and sounds… and developing his unique style.
Evil Pimp began his musical career in the 1990s. He made his national debut in 2005 with Da Exorcist Returns. Rhodes formed the independent record labels Slaughterhouse Records and Gangsta Ro Productions. Evil Pimp’s musical influences were mostly the 70’s soul sounds that he grew up hearing along with Triple Six, DJ Zirk, DJ Sound and some Squeek dog. Evil Pimp is the leader of the group Krucifix Klan and onetime co-owner of Slaughterhouse Records. After artistic and business conflicts he left the label. Numerous members have contributed over time to his work, yet the music style has stayed consistent; featuring rapid-fire lyrics laid over a mellow laid-back beat., or a signature slow-drawling and violent flow over even more hypnotic beats. He has since been featured in various magazines, most significantly appearing in The Source.
