Official press release: As Tech N9neﾒs right-hand man and the mastermind behind many of Strange Musicﾒs biggest hits, Krizz Kaliko has proven he strikes a nerve with fans worldwide.
And on Sept. 14, 2010, one of the most talented, under the radar rap artists in the game follows up his sophomore CD “Genius“, with “Shock Treatment“, featuring Strange CEO/founder Tech N9ne, label mates Kutt Calhoun, Big Scoob and Brotha Lynch Hung, plus Big Ben, Stevie Stone and more Hip Hop hot shots.
Krizz Kaliko steps it up a notch with his first single, ﾓElevator,ﾔ a club ditty that inspires both naughty and nice moves on the dance floor. The always-amped emcee accelerates the lady love with a string of female-fueled tracks, including the humorous ﾓSkally Wag,ﾔ slow-moving, seductive ﾓStripper Danceﾔ and upbeat R&B-blessed ﾓGet It Girlﾔ with Irv Da Phenom.
Where Krizz Kaliko really distinguishes himself from the rap pack is with his buzzing blends of rock and hip-hop. Crashing cymbals and raging guitars power ﾓHard Core,ﾔ while the frenetic pace of ﾓGet Activeﾔ is right in line with the exciting energy that pulsates through the crowd at Strange Music concerts.
ﾓSimon Says,ﾔ featuring Tech N9ne, is a Strange Music call-and-response classic ready-made to stir followers into a frenzy. ﾓAll Gas No Brakesﾔ is a stuttering, haunting head nodder featuring 816 Boyz, and ﾓIn My Dreamsﾔ pairs Krizz Kaliko with Brotha Lynch Hung for a symphonic, cinematic adventure that boasts the lyrical prowess of both eccentric mic masters.
After working with Tech N9ne and Strange Music for 10 years, performing over 200 shows a year, Krizz Kaliko has earned a spot among Hip Hopﾒs hardest-working entertainers. His solo debut, 2008ﾒs “Vitiligo“, landed at No. 19 on the Billboard charts and he has been instrumental in Tech N9neﾒs incredible success: In 2008, Tech N9ne SoundScanned over one million units, making him the most successful independent Hip Hop artist in history. Krizz Kaliko’s sophomore CD, “Genius“, ranked No. 3 on Billboardﾒs Top Rap Albums chart.
Itﾒs Kali baby, and heﾒs coming to a city near you with ﾓTECH N9NEﾒS INDEPENDENT GRIND TOUR 2010ﾔ along with Hip Hop heavyweights E-40, Jay Rock and Glasses Malone and Strange Music cohorts Kutt Calhoun and Big Scoob.
An exclusive song was recently leaked online called “Game On“, which doesn’t seem to have made the album though. Either way, check it out below:
