With Krept growing up in Gipsy Hill and Konan growing up in Thornton Heath, they started in their neighbourhoods from an early age. As time went on krept and konan became friends outside of music and in due time realised we both had a musical talent in mc/rapping. It was then only a matter of time when they both came together to make a few songs for the fun of it. The songs had the streets going crazy, everybody had them on their phones, it is then when they realised their music potential. Unfortunately later down the line in 2007 konan went into incarceration for a whole year which had a major effect on their music path. Krept did not concentrate on music during konanโs incarceration, and at this point music was not in the picture for either of them. However in 2008 Konan was then released from jail and music was still not in the picture for either krept or konan.
A few weeks after konanโs release a friend of both krept and konan had a studio who occasionally invited them round to make tracks here and there. As these tracks were released their fanbase began to grow again it was then when they both decided to put more effort into the music. The two then started doing music videos, freestyle videos and releasing more tracks as time went on and the fanbase continued to grow. Both krept and konan then released a mixtape together called โRedrumโ which was made due to high demand. At this point it was clear to everyone that krept and konan became a duo in the music scene, and at this moment all they were missing was a name. This is where Krept and konan both came to the decision of the name โPlay Dirtyโ. They are now an official group which will be expanding in the future to more artists producers etc..

Krept & Konan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dickheads, losers
You're only bad on computers
Keep talking about shooters
But you're lying like Lucious (Lyon)
I used to run man down in my Nikes
Now I just do it in my Pumas (run man down)
Free up my bros in the cell
When I give stamps, I open the mail
If I get the west in, I'm not phoning the girl
Had your WCW holding my belt (behave)
Can't talk bait on a hot phone (na)
Fur's on like it's Moscow (yeah)
I met the weed plug in Sweden
Like I've gotta try bring the stock home
I was on the road when Ghetts made Sing For Me (sing for me)
I can make your girlfriend sing for me (sing for me)
See the car dash like Kimberley (skrr)
In the trap house eating Indomie
I think they got it in for me
But we don't take checks in Heath (never)
We buy out the bar, Charms rest in peace (ameen)
Bro came with the MAC, he don't eat fast food much
Save all the chat, don't get your dog moved up
Them man talk shit, nobody asked you cuz (who?)
Ask Flipz, don't even talk too much (behave)
Don't even talk too much (boy)
Don't even talk too much (boy)
Don't even talk too much
Don't even talk too much
Don't even talk too much (yeah)
Don't even talk too much
My name's Krept, my name's Tally
I like skets, I like fanny
Not my brudda, stop calling me Akhi
I eat Plantain, you eat batty uh
Don't put in work, you're a fool, nerd
Sixteen, murdered you all, hearsed
Big black Merc that I bought, skr
Got your bird on my balls, Spurs (finish him!)
Fam what's good?
I can't do it but the mandem could
Bang that Bubu, ban that Buju
I use God, them man use JuJu
Redrum, fam, honour me
Man used to save for their wallabees
Now I'm in business class talking about the economy
Let's make it fair
Do the truth, don't take it there
Punch you out your accessories
Lemme just make that clear
Hater, rap scene saviour
You wanna take shots like Barca
But don't wanna say my name ah
Bro came with the MAC, he don't eat fast food much
Save all the chat, don't get your dog moved up
Them man talk shit, nobody asked you cuz (who?)
Ask Flipz, don't even talk too much (behave)
Don't even talk too much (boy)
Don't even talk too much (boy)
Don't even talk too much
Don't even talk too much
Don't even talk too much (yeah)
Don't even talk too much
Flow's over sick and contagious
Not underground, I'm not famous
Don't run your mouth around strangers
Chatty mout', you're too dangerous
Little chatty mout', you're too loud
It's like chatty mout's the new style
Them man are doing shows for two thou'
Kon' stop laughing man, you're too foul
Anyway I hit the curb and do street
Scrap the Merc and do Jeeps
Can't hold the phone, you're too weak
Plus I went gold in two weeks (Behave)
Plus I go hard on my ones
I am nobody's son (No)
Done things that nobody's done
Come off my name, it's over, I won
Aight lickle man, check this sket
Get your chain jacked and you called us
Feds in my crib, tryna leave a man doorless
Paid for my door and they paid for my time
'Cause the feds don't wanna see another black August
Sorted, bought new floors but I'm flawless
Ring ring, trap sell packs on the corners
Told you niggas that Flipz don't talk
But I flipped it again, let me tell them on the chorus (boy)
Bro came with the MAC, he don't eat fast food much
Save all the chat, don't get your dog moved up
Them man talk shit, nobody asked you cuz (Who?)
Ask Flipz, don't even talk too much (behave)
Don't even talk too much (boy)
Don't even talk too much (boy)
Don't even talk too much
Don't even talk too much
Don't even talk too much (Yeah)
Don't even talk too much
The lyrics to Krept & Konan's song Ask Flipz are a bold statement to their haters, calling them out for their lack of authenticity and false bravado. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with Krept & Konan shutting down any claims from their detractors about being "bad" or having shooters. They also boast about their ability to handle business, from running down man in their Nikes to doing it even better now in their Pumas. The chorus, "Don't even talk too much" is a direct message to those who talk too much and don't actually do anything.
Krept & Konan also touch on issues of loyalty and friendship, shouting out their friends in jail and the importance of having solid relationships. They also make a few jabs at those who try to mimic their style or slang, telling them to stop calling them "Akhi" and to stick to their own cultural foods.
The song also has a few references to other popular artists, like Ghetts and Lucious Lyon from the hit TV show "Empire." Overall, "Ask Flipz" is a powerful message of strength and authenticity, urging listeners to stop talking and start proving themselves in actions.
