Krizz Kaliko : Genius

2009 sophomore release. Not too many people can lay claim to having created their own style of music, but Krizz Kaliko has done just that. Funkra, a mix of Funk, Rap, Rock and Opera, rings true in every song Krizz performs. On Genius, Krizz Kaliko once again flips musical expectations on their ear. The album melds together the different styles and influences of Krizz's life into an album that crosses boundaries with each track. Featuring appearances from standout names like Tech N9ne and E-40, Genius moves easily from style to style, all the while sounding just like Krizz Kaliko. With the club-ready 'Back Pack' and the Psychedelic-tinged 'Misunderstood', Genius seethes with songs to put the swing into your summer.
