Who is Kato “Tha Don”?
Born Isaiah Calloway on April 14th,1998 at Northside Hospital & Raised in Lithonia, GA, Isaiah would live to overcome obstacles from growing up in a single parent household with his mom and younger brother Josh aka SNO Hundo, various county wide schooling in some racially counterparted communities, new living adjustments due to recession, & graduating from Martin Luther King Jr. High School (one of If not the roughest high school in DeKalb county).

What Inspires Kato “Tha Don”?
Quite the perfectionist, Isaiah has always seen his talent as it could be better. He started off at the age of 7 years old by listening to and being around his older cousin S.K. (of Major Status Gang) from Rocky Mount, North Carolina that had just came home from the military and to live with his aunt, Isaiah’s Mom, until he could get on his feet. S.K. taught Isaiah all the necessary needs to making beats and heavy hitter lyrics. Isaiah first debuted as Lil Zay, but never got to record or release anything out of fear of it not being worthy to view.
At about 10 years old Isaiah gains knowledge that his father Maurice Calloway was into the music realm around the same time he met Isaiah’s mother, but it was at that age he had another motivational push. Between ages 7-10 years old, Isaiah’s mom was married to Eric Merritt whom was serving a 25 year drug sentence. Eric had talked to and motivated Josh & Isaiah every waking chance that he got to call. He loved them as if they were his own and that love was reciprocated. 
At age 11 his most recent father figure, Shawn, had entered his life after his mom divorced Eric due to mutual and personal reasons. Shawn had also motivated Josh & Isaiah as well he was also an aspiring artist with the talent of writing, singing, and rapping. Along with that came a surprise baby brother, Christopher, that brought them closer together as a family. It was between the years of age 11-15 that Isaiah became Z-Breezy & transitioned to Kato “Tha Don” & soon upon graduating high school that he came up with the acronym for KATO. Isaiah is 21 years old now, a former college student from Altierus Career College, CEO of Love And War Entertainment (L.A.W. Ent.) & is engaged to Lavon Daniels whom is also carrying their first ever child, Isaiah Calloway II.

What Does KATO Mean & Stand For?
KATO means Kill At Tha Order. Intrigued by the Italian Mafia lifestyle, Isaiah decided to model himself in such a way. To break it down even further Isaiah is in no way shape or form a yes man, he does what he wants all on his own without any advisement for the most part (Kill At Tha Order); he runs his own destiny & calls the shots for him and others looking up to him (“Tha Don”). 

What Is Real Hip Hop to Kato and Who Are Some of His Hip Hop Influencers?
Kato believes that hip hop culture today isn’t what it used to be and has evolved through a generation of such pure ignorance. Hip Hop used to have knowledge or tell a story based on things the artist has witnessed & done. He believes that rap isn’t even the word to describe most of today’s artists, but that the better word is rhyme or talkers.
