Krizz Kaliko began his musical career in the late 1990s when he began working with a local producer by the name of IcyRoc Kraven. Another local rapper by the name of Tech N9ne was also collaborating with IcyRoc at the time, which led to the two rappers meeting. Tech N9ne was currently working on a song titled "Who You Came To See" and Krizz made a comment that the song could have a better hook. Tech offered up the opportunity to prove his case, and Tech was blown away when Kaliko proved just that. Tech would bring Kaliko into his "inner circle" which would eventually result in Kaliko signing to the label co-owned by his new found friend.
Since then, Kaliko has often contributed to albums put out by Tech N9ne, be it being featured as a rapper or simply providing background vocals for the tracks on the album. Although the largest portion of his work is that of his collaborations with Tech, he has also performed similar tasks for fellow labelmates Kutt Calhoun, Skatterman & Snug Brim, and Prozak. Other collaborations include tracks with the Kottonmouth Kings, Potluck, E-40, and Twiztid.
His debut album, Vitiligo released in May 6, 2008, charted on several Billboard charts including peaking at number 19 on the Top Independent Albums in the week of May 28, 2008. In the same week, he peaked at number 167 on the Billboard 200.
His second studio album, Genius, was released on July 14, 2009.
Krizz has chosen the title Shock Treatment for his third studio album. Other titles he considered were "Son of Sam" and "Walk on Water."
Krizz Kaliko is married and has a son, both are mentioned in his music.
He also suffers from the disease, Vitiligo, a skin disorder characterized by smooth, white patches on various parts of the body caused by the loss of natural pigment. Several of these patches are clearly visible on his face. He would later use the name of the disease he suffers from as the title for his debut album. Krizz has also been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. On his second album, he titled one of the tracks after the disorder.

Krizz Kaliko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't tell me, don't tell me
Baby if I
What if I told you here and there I got a chick on the side
And what if you told me you do the same thing
I think I would die
Does that make it worse 'cause I did it first, you still did your dirt
Get right or get left and
I learnt a big lesson
We fighting like I don't like you like
It's such a big mess and
It's never a right time to say goodbye
So if you did it, keep it inside and
Take it to the grave
You can't tell me that angels don't behave
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
Take it to the grave
And don't tell me my angel misbehave
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
If I
Baby if I
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
Baby if I
If I
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
Now what if I told you I had a feeling about you, would you lie
And if you say you got something to tell me I think I would cry
It's nothing but bad news when you say we need to talk
And if I had to choose, rather you save the thought
Get right or get left and
I learnt a big lesson
We fighting like I don't like you like
It's such a big mess and
It's never a right time to say goodbye
So if you did it, keep it inside and
Take it to the grave
You can't tell me that angels don't behave
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
Take it to the grave
And don't tell me my angel misbehave
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
Baby if I
And baby if I
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
Oh baby if I
Now baby if I
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
Baby, you so good to me
All the stuff I took you through 'cause I'm crazy and you stood with me
Out of love, you my angel to heaven, you the plug
To get me lifted above, I thought that was what it was
But I found a letter saying you met somebody better
Thought our love is forever, my face has never been wetter
You admitted it, girl this hurt is enough to make me hit a bitch
But I'm safe, never tarnish my thoughts of you girl
Take it to the grave
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
Take it to the grave
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
Now baby if I
Now baby if I
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
Baby if I
Now baby if I
(Don't tell me, don't tell me)
The song "Behave" by Krizz Kaliko is about the complexities of relationships and the consequences of infidelity. The first verse introduces the idea of having a significant other on the side, which creates tension in the relationship. Krizz asks his partner to refrain from revealing their infidelities to each other as it is better to take such secrets to the grave. The chorus reinforces this concept, stating that angels do behave, and they should keep their misbehavior to themselves.
The second verse asks the same question of the partner, whether they have been unfaithful. The tone shifts toward an acknowledgment that the relationship is imperfect and there may be feelings of jealousy or mistrust, but ultimately Krizz would rather keep such secrets than have them out in the open. The bridge contains a sense of regret for not being a better partner, and why the person chose to cheat on him.
Krizz Kaliko's "Behave" is a song about relationships and how secrets can fracture them. Rather than communicate with each other about their infidelities, Krizz encourages his partner to keep them to themselves. The song highlights the complexity of human emotions and relationships, particularly when it comes to trust and infidelity.

+Dill Pickle 1 In my thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.
2 On the fifth of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin— 3 the word of theLord came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians.[a]There the hand of the Lord was on him.
4 I looked, and I saw a windstormcoming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was human, 6 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.
10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. They each had two wingsspreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body.12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. 14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.
15 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz,and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go,and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked something like a vault,sparkling like crystal, and awesome. 23 Under the vault their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body.24 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty,[b]like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
25 Then there came a voice from above the vault over their heads as they stood with lowered wings.26 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne of lapis lazuli, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.
