Kryptik's style is basically defined as lyrical intelligence presented in a sometimes violent manner, mixed with creativity and a bit of twisted humor. He is not afraid of offending anyone, but states his point in a way that is true to life based mainly on his own experiences living it. He's not here to impress anyone, or to make friends, or enemies. He simply does what he does as a way of venting for his own personal gain, but at the same time has captured the attention of many people who relate to his words because of their similar circumstances. On stage he feels completely at home despite his anxiety and hatred towards social masses, while able to separate himself from his own personal life and create a new one for himself as a character through performing and grasping the ears and eyes of all those who are in attendance. Listen to his music, listen to his words, witness his dedication to his profession, and see him perform live. This is the only way you will ever be able to truly comprehend all that makes this artist who he is.Band/artist history
Kryptik emerged on the Underground rap scene early in 2006, however is no stranger to the music. He has been an avid supporter of underground music for most of his life, influenced by the likings of Esham, ICP, Twiztid, the Wu-tang Clan, and Cypress Hill just to name a few. Disgusted with the lack of ability and creativity displayed in the Mainstream music industry these days, he decided to take matters into his own hands and make the change from spectator to innovator. He began developing his career in 2002, studying the workings of the underground, observing and soaking in all the knowledge he possibly could. He has spent the last 3 years writing, polishing his skills and perfecting his craft, carefully planning his debut. When he was finally ready, Kryptik exploded on the scene with hurricane force. His music style is one that can not be labeled by any other genre, constantly changing up from track to track, so he decided to pioneer his own style in which he calls East Koast MurdaRap. Kryptiks music is filled with pain, anger, violence, and sick humor, with shocking lyrics presented in an intelligent manner. What separates him from other artists who speak of similar things is his extensive vocabulary and the creativeness of his delivery. He considers himself a Wordsmith, with the ability to manipulate the English language and present his sick thoughts in a way that keeps his listeners interested. This has not only earned him a fan base of many Juggalos, fans of underground legends I.C.P. who love this type of deranged music, but has also earned him much respect from his peers, other underground rappers who recognize his skill as a lyricist.
The release of a 5 track demo which has been dispersed in mass quantities at literally every underground show on the East Coast this past year has propelled him to the top of the underground scene, developing a fan base and earning respect as a legitimate artist who is making a name for himself. An internet radio station by the name of CrypticRadio.com (no relation) got hold of one of these demos and immediately put Kryptik in steady rotation. In one week Kryptik received more plays and requests than any other artist in the history of the station, earning him a nomination for Artist of the Month which he won by a landslide victory. Soon after Kryptik was featured on numerous other radio stations and sites such as Rotten Radio, Blackboxx Radio, and Faygoluvers.net Songs of the Week. The track Down 4 tha Cause. . .the MurdaRap Anthem has become an instant underground hit, with a hook that has the entire crowd chanting at every show.
The only way to truly experience Kryptik is to see him perform live. Unlike other rappers, a Kryptik show is an actual SHOW, not simply getting on stage with a microphone and rapping. Each individual show he plays is carefully planned, from the set list, to the stage set, to costume changes and surprises that keep the crowd on their toes. The live DJ and animated hype-men add to the performance and give anyone in attendance a show that theyll remember and talk about for a long time. Kryptiks debut live performance in Plymouth, MA helped to draw a crowd of nearly 300, developing a fan base in MA and surrounding states that follows him to every show. His volunteer street team of dedicated fans who support his music is steadily growing with every performance. He has been put on shows in CT, MA, and RI, showing that he has the potential to become a national act. Most recently, Kryptik was added to the bill to open for underground rap legend Tech N9ne at the Webster theater in Hartford, CT. It was Kryptiks first time ever playing his home state or the Webster. Buy the day of the show he had personally sold 67 tickets to generate over $1000.00 in revenue for the venue and earn him a spot on the main stage.
Rather than having the goal of being signed to a record label like many artists, Kryptik decided to do things on his own. With the start of his music career also came the start of his self-owned and operated record label, F.T.I. Records. From music and video production, to promoting and booking, to a full line of merchandise, F.T.I. Records has a team of dedicated individuals who believe in Kryptiks music enough to offer him their services, cutting out the need for outside assistance from the Industry. This is the whole premise behind F.T.I. Records, to be completely independent and to provide the fans with true music that is not tainted by the limitations of the Mainstream.
To sum it up, Kryptik has patiently sat back and waited for his time to emerge and make himself known to the world. Now that he is here, the underground will never be the same. He puts 110% of his heart into every thing he does, every show, every lyric, every little flier or sticker. No matter what it is, he strives for perfection and is his own biggest critic. His fans mean more to him than his own music, and so he takes the time to individually acknowledge every single one of them, and will continue to provide them with the music theyve longed for since the death of the radio. Come see Kryptik live, and youll begin to understand how much love he has for music, and how much he enjoys providing the crowd with a memorable experience. He is not the average rapper, and he is not the average performer. In Kryptiks opinion, average is boring. Average is the same 30 songs on the radio about 24 inch rims, platinum chains, and going to the club. Average takes no skill, no creativity, no intelligence. Kryptiks music is far from average, just listen for yourself.Have you performed in front of an audience?I played my first live show in 2006. I played two live shows that year. My second one was the first in my home state of CT at the Webster Theatre. I opened for Tech N9ne and Potluck on the main stage. In 2007, I played over 40 shows. I opened for everyone from WolfPac to D.O.P.E. to King Gordy, ABK, AMB and Graveplott, and ICP. I even played the Gathering of the Juggalos and was on tour with Tech N9ne and Potluck for four shows in four states to close out their MLK tour. Besides that, every two months I rent out the Webster Underground in CT and have personally booked artists and put on shows that have been the most successful underground rap concerts that CT has ever witnessed.
Your musical influences
All of my pain and anger, the very agony and wrath that I have packed way deep down inside me my entire life are the very things that influence my music and my lyrics. Anyone who has ever hurt me, anyone who has ever given me a reason to want to hurt them, every circumstance that life has dealt me that has had me on the verge of complete insanity. . . these are my influences. This is my therapy. If I did not have my songs to vent through, I might actually act out all of the horrible things I rap about. By creating this make believe world in my songs in which I am able to do all of these things without consequence, I am saving myself and all those around me from myself. That is why I call my music MurdaRap. My words murder for me so that I don't have to.What equipment do you use?
