Krizz Kaliko, one of the most versatile hip-hop artists of all time, is an American rapper and singer hailing from Kansas City, Missouri. His style of hip-hop includes the sub genres horrorcore and Funkra (a mix of funk, rock, R&B, rap and opera), making him quite a unique artist. Kaliko has sold over 60,000 record copies independently through Strange Music.
Krizz is perhaps best known for his longtime collaboration with fellow hometown native, Tech N9ne, who discovered Krizz in in the late 90’s. Both artists had a mutual friend, the Kansas City producer IcyRoc Kravyn, which eventually led them together.
Kaliko was signed to Strange Music, the record label which Tech founded and co-owns, and has remained loyal to the label ever since, being viewed as Tech N9ne’s closest music partner.
