My name is Crizmatik and I'm a 21st century MC with a 21st century mindest. The classic single "Before You're Gone" Number 1 on radio in New Orleans , pays tribute to family, friends and those affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. My latest single "They Don't Know Me" is a slice of raw energy filled with social commentary and a beat that raises the hairs on the back of your neck!!Band/artist history
CRIZMATIK - I was born on August 3, 1979 in New Orleans and I started rappin in 1997 when aged 18. I hooked up with 2Face in 99' and he helped mold me into the MC I am today. At the same time I had a similar influence on him. I initially dabbled with a few names before becoming Crizmatik following a divine experience in 2000. My first recognition was when I won the Industry Image Award in 2000 after battling through 4 rounds. From 2000 through 2004 I won more than my fair share of battles nationwide, from New Orleans to Washington D.C. In 2002 I was on the verge of signing a recording contract with Jive Records, but chose not to sign the usual shitty contract. In 2003 I opened for the late great Soulja Slim. Over the following year I performed at Twiropa, Tipitinas, The Warehouse and Mustang Sallys. 2004 was the start of Falcon Entertainment my own label. In 2005 look out for my solo debut album, The Christening, coming out on Falcon Entertainment.Have you performed in front of an audience?Absolutely. New Orleans, Batltimore, DC, anywhere and everywhere. Tore up Tipitina's in New Orleans in November 2004
