Perhaps the catalyst for his successful beginning was a name change which came about when one of his management representatives Audley “Bredi” Allen decided that it was time to get rid of the Crazy Kid. Armed with his new moniker KIPRICH began to make his mark, turning out hit after hit all written by the young deejay himself.
With lyrics readily flowing from his pen, KIPRICH has become one of the most consistent deejays in the business. This has made him much sought after, by major producers. As one of their number enthusiastically put it “he can be counted on to give producers chart topping singles.” Dance hall hits like Loggo Di Bwoy, Imagine This, All Ladies, Cut Him Off, Bad Man No Snitch, Waste Time represent just a few of his strong catalogue.
Not everyone can make the transition from studio to stage with the same degree of success. However, armed with his trademark smile, KIPRICH performs with so much commitment on stage that he has made a name for himself as an exciting live performer.
His latest project, scheduled to be released soon, is his first album. The producers read like a who’s who of reggae/dancehall music with heavyweights Snow Cone, John Baker, Rock Wilder, Bobby Digital, Sly & Robbie, King Jammys, Flabba Malcolm and Steely and Clevie all on board. KIPRICH is justifiably hyped up about the project at it represents another level of achievement in his development as an artist.
Always in perpetual motion, KIPRICH had toured extensively through North & South America, the Caribbean and Europe. But he wastes no time dwelling on his past successes. For KIPRICH it’s all about charting new territory while keeping it real…and rich!

In the song "Liquor," Kiprich explores the unpredictable and intoxicating effects of alcohol in the context of a nightclub setting. The chorus highlights the various ways in which liquor can make individuals lose control and act out of character, such as getting mad, going bad, getting wild, and even changing their profile or pop style.
In the first verse, Kiprich sings about the potential consequences of succumbing to the influence of alcohol, using examples of making promises to a lover, losing one's bearings, and engaging in reckless behavior. He suggests that alcohol provides an easy excuse for any misbehavior, using names of specific alcohol brands to reinforce the idea.
The second verse continues to explore the effects of alcohol on people's behavior, this time using scenarios involving attraction and friendships. Kiprich notes that alcohol can make people more confident, leading them to express feelings and opinions they might otherwise keep to themselves. It can also create a sense of camaraderie and shared experiences among strangers who might not otherwise interact.
Overall, "Liquor" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of drinking to excess, yet also recognizes the allure and temptation of letting go and enjoying the moment.
