BIO
KRYPTO BIO - Hailing from Vallejo California, a city rich with musical history, Krypto has been making quality music for well over a decade. Introduced to the Rap Game as a young one, the V-Town representative has recorded eight albums, released five (with a sixth due very shortly) and has featured on songs with some of the best the Bay Area has ever seen, including the Legendary Andre ..MAC DRE.. Hicks (RIP), TURF TALK, AP9 & JACKA of the MOB FIGAZ, GOLDIE of the FEDERATION, N2DEEP, PSD, YOUNG DRU, and more. He has been featured in publications such as Xplosive and 916 Magazines, on the front page of the Vallejo Times Herald and on television broadcasts of MTV's My Block: The Bay,Represent the Bay, Muzic Network and more. Entering the game as a pre-teen, like most aspiring rappers just discovering the "gift" Krypto recorded a slew of tracks that, for all intents and purposes, will never see the light of day. "I recorded so many slaps that no one will ever hear, its crazy", he says regarding the aforementioned tracks. Krypto began recording in several local studios without any real direction. At that time it was about nothing more than the love of the music. Things finally got serious in 1996 when Krypto, as part of the group .."Sumthin Serious".. released "Keepin It Green" Distributed by (City Hall Records), the album achieved local success and continued to boost his name in the street. As good as things were looking, life has a way of providing those in the inner-city with quick reality checks. Krypto was provided with such a setback not long after "Keepin It Green" was released. Just as his star began to rise in his hometown, Johnny Law caught up with Krypto. With Rap not really paying the bills, he found himself smack in the middle of the street life, "Getting down wit a lotta different cats" as he puts it. Various transgressions and probation violations landed him a two year stint in the system. Upon his release from the bricks, Krypto returned to Vallejo with a hunger and determination that could not be contained. He hooked back up with Indecent and the two went to work on their first group release ..Indecent & Krypto-The 1st Chapter... Released in 2003, the 1st Chapter quickly identified Indecent & Krypto as players in the congested Bay Area Rap Game. They followed up their group album with Krypto..s solo debut, ..Controversy.. which featured the likes of Bay Area Stars Turf Talk, PSD and more. ..Controversy.. served as a warning shot of sorts as it let the game know, with a loud bang, that Krypto was a force to be reckoned with as a lyricist. Later in 2005, the two released their ..Quasi.. Compilation entitled ..The Quake... ..Quasi.. is used as a description because unlike most of today..s compilations which are a group of randomly put together tracks featuring different artists and groups on each track, ..The Quake.. featured either Indecent & Krypto or both of them, paired with different artists on each track. ..The Quake.. saw Indecent & Krypto get down with some of the dopest known and up and coming artists in the Bay Area and beyond. It was with ..The Quake.. that Indecent & Krypto really began to make noise. 2006 was a breakthrough year for Krypto. During the final stages of preparation for the release of his and Indecent..s second group album, ..Rap Athletes Track Meet,.. the Vallejo flame spitter was blessed with one of the most timely name drops an emerging artist can receive when fellow Bay Area Hot Boy ..Turf Talk.. promoted Krypto during a segment of MTV's My Block (THE BAY) You couldn't ask for a better piece of national advertisement with out some serious dollars. Capitalizing on the buzz from the MTV spot as well as that which they created themselves, Krypto and his partner saw their first single ..Keep on Playin.. earn significant rotations on Bay Area power station 106.1 KMEL and other radio and internet stations. They released "Rap Athletes Track Meet" to rave reviews and impressive unit sales. The album, which featured a re-mixed and mastered, never before released track Krypto recorded several years back with the late great Andre ..Mac Dre.. Hicks, was and is currently one of the hottest albums in the Bay Area. Their work on the album garnered him and Indecent nomination for New Artists of the Year at the Bay Area Rap Scene Awards. Never one to settle, as the buzz for "Rap Athletes Track Meet" was growing, Krypto was already hard at work on yet another project. As 2007 arrived, Krypto was poised to release his second solo/quasi-compilation, "Trunk Food", which features Krypto again on display along side some of the heaviest hitters and fastest risers the Bay Area had to offer.In 2008 Krypto brings you his 3rd solo album titled "PIECES TO MY PUZZLE" and features songs with AP9 & JACKA of the MOB FIGAZ, GOLDIE of the FEDERATION, DELTRICE, FLOSSALINI, and WILLIE JOE. With the groundwork for his career solidly laid and the Bay Area once again burgeoning, this appears to be the year Krypto emerges from the crowded landscape to stake his claim as an elite artist not only in the Bay Area and California, but nationwide. Having networked with people in power positions all over the country, Krypto is poised to ring bells from the Yay to the Panhandle. Look out for him at a record store, club, arena or on a television or radio network in your area. With his trademark aggressive delivery and charisma, he wont be hard to hear or find.
