- A sound cloud account linked to Bryan Kohberger includes a rap song.
- In it, the artist raps about his efforts to remain a "pacifist" and avoid a "bloody fist"
A SoundCloud account that appears to be linked to accused University of Idaho killer Bryan Kohberger has one rap song posted to the account, and in it an artist speaks of his efforts to remain a "pacifist."
In 2011, a poster identifying himself as Bryan from Effort under the username Exarr, shared the track "Rise Up Instrumental - Test." The audio has been cited and posted by various internet users starting over a week ago.
"Always the same thing that disrupts my life. Wonder when I'll change? I guess when the time is right," the male voice raps in the track. "I'm a pacifist, like I'm afraid to get a bloody fist."
Bryan Kohberger didn't use his full name on the site, but the username "Exarr" is contained in Kohberger's email address that appeared in a 2009 leak of accounts. The account also listed the location as Effort. Kohberger grew up in Effort, Pennsylvania.
The 3:47 minute track only includes just over a minute of lyrics. The rest of the song is instrumentals.
The date the rap song was posted lines up with a post about "visual snow" — a rare disorder he claimed to have — also from an account apparently linked with Kohberger through the "Exarr" username.
"I want to express our struggles through rap, I think people should know," Kohberger wrote on April 25, 2011.
In the forum, Kohberger wrote about the challenges of living with the visual anomaly.
In a July 2011 post, Exarr.thosewithvisualsnow wrote: "It is as if the ringing in my ears and the fuzz in my vision is simply all of the demons in my head mocking me."
A lawyer for Kohberger who is under gag order by the judge in the case didn't immediately return an email seeking comment on the SoundCloud account.
Kohberger was arrested on December 30 at his parents' home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania.
The arrest came after a manhunt lasting more than a month.
The 28-year-old criminology graduate student is accused of fatally stabbing 21-year-olds Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen and 20-year-olds Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.
Prosecutors say Kohberger had driven from his Pullman, Washington, home — about 10 minutes away — 12 times before the killings. A knife sheath left at the grisly scene contained DNA that was matched to trash at his parents' home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania.
