BIOGRAPHY-
K.I.A., also known as Shinjuku Zulu, never takes a straightforward approach — not with his worldly music nor with the convoluted presentation of it. The Canadian producer, born Kirby Andersen, began in Calgary, where he graduated in 1988 from the city's university with a degree in English literature. From there he followed his urge to travel and moved to Tokyo, where he found substatial inspiration in Japanese culture and its wonderful ironies — ancient temples amid a forward-looking highly technological society. He eventually returned to North America, ended up in Toronto by way of Los Angeles. He began work on what would become his debut album, Shinjuku Zulu (2000), which he released under a moniker of the same name on his upstart Neuphoria Recordings label. The release drew from numerous styles of music, most of them either categorized under the electronica or world genres, and freely mixed these styles together, not only throughout the album but also throughout the course of a given track. Moreover, the album featured numerous guest vocalists as well, adding yet more ecclecticism to the mix. The release earned him notable praise from the Canadian press, and the producer switched his name to K.I.A. for his second and third releases, before returning to Shinjuku Zulu (See DISCOGRAPHY below.)

Rise Up
K.I.A. Lyrics

Yeah
You you ready
Let's get it
I'm tellin' you why, you can see in their eyes
Them boys ain't playin', they ready to ride
Shakin' the tunnel, just screamin' and yellin'
If you ain't ready, you get eatin' alive
Takin' the field with loads of passion
Swaggin' out with the flyest fashions
Cameras out and they steady flashin'

Captains out, we bout to get it cracking
Full aggression in between those lines
UBoyz, we about to ride
We a band of brothers and we stick together
Like an army mission, when it's war time
We stackin' them W's, pay attention
Opponents comin' with apprehension
We stay on top of our division
Went from BCS busters to playoff contenders
We on the rise up, now them boys mad, mad, mad
We had to tighten them boys up
We here for the crown, crown, crown
Go Utes
We on the rise up, now them boys mad, mad, mad
We had to tighten them boys up
We here for the crown, crown, crown
Go Utes
We on the rise up, the plays they make is spectacular
Our defense never is stagnant
Hit em with a boom when they tacklin'
Lay em down flat like a mattress
QB throws all accurate
Wide outs, steady be snaggin' it
Oh yeah, our running back's immaculate
Yeah, our team is just beastie-beastie
And the way we coordinate is super easy
Got a lot of talent with a lot of promise
Make it for a reason why we should be undefeated
The fans love us, got us packed out
Packed out like every season
The MUSS crazy
South crazy
Can't forget about the North, baby, know what I'm sayin
We on the rise up, now them boys mad, mad, mad
We had to tighten them boys up
We here for the crown, crown, crown
Go Utes
We on the rise up, now them boys mad, mad, mad
We had to tighten them boys up
We here for the crown, crown, crown
Go Utes
