Description: The New King of New Orleans - next generation Dirty South hiphop to challenge stereotypes, open minds and leave you laughing your ass off |
Biography: 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, Tipitina's, The Warehouse and Mustang Sally's. 2004 was the start of Falcon Entertainment my own label. In 2005 Crizmatik rocked Twiropa, Tipitina's and the House of Blues, three months in a row, in front of a packed house. Crizmatik's single 'Filthy Dirty' continues to blow up the airwaves and is in rotation on B97 (WEZB). In 2006, Crizmatik will take on the world and in so doing help New Orleans rise from the ashes and represent the Dirty South in the 21st century. Look out for the single 'Before You're Gone' aka The Katrina Song
