Biography

Kiley Hendriks (born November 4, 1975), better known by his stage name Prevail, is a Canadian rapper, based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Prevail started rapping in the early 1990s with Moka Only under the group name Split Sphere. In 1996, he founded the Vancouver-based hip hop group Swollen Members with Madchild. Swollen Members have sold hundreds of thousands of albums and won the Juno Award four times. Rough Guide called them "two of the most innovative people in hip-hop". Aside from Swollen Members, Prevail released an album entitled Code Name: Scorpion with Abstract Rude and Moka Only in 2001, his first solo EP Baseball Bat and Nails in 2009, and a second solo EP with producer Ol' City Rocker titled Spasefase in 2012. His 2014 freestyle on Sway in the Morning was ranked by HotNewHipHop in their list of "The 10 Best Five Fingers Of Death Freestyles". Prevail then started 'Alpha Omega' - a new group teaming up with his nephew Cory Joseph (a.k.a. Neph) - in 2015. The duo released 3 EPs together before joining forces with Rob The Viking and Dr. Liesa Norman to form XL The Band. XL The Band has released dozens of jazz/ hip hop leaning singles since 2019. In 2026, he released multiple singles with Moka Only as Split Sphere.
