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 ↴
Drop on the floor
Close the door
My hour
[Chorus]
I wanna love you from the inside, inside
And we can get closer and closer
And we'll do it over and over
When you move
It's almost violent, her attitude
Ooh
And when you breathe
It's like you're breathing life into me
Me
I can't lie
If I had to choose the way that I die
I die
I'm inside
If I could stay here forever I'd try
But I
[Chorus]
I wanna love you from the inside, inside
And we can get closer and closer
Love me on the outside, outside
And we'll do it over and over
This can't get better
'Cause every move I make makes you
Can I say that?
And I never
Let anyone this close but I let her
I can't lie
It feels so good right now I could die
It's true
It's in my mind
Because I never touched you
But I'd like to
[Chorus]
I wanna love you from the inside, inside
And we can get closer and closer
Love me on the outside, outside
And we'll do it over and over

Do exactly what I tell you to
Follow my instructions precisely
Drop on the floor
Lie down on the floor
Close the door
Shut the door
My hour
My time has come
[Chorus]
Refrain of the song
When you move
Your movements are intense
It's almost violent, her attitude
Her attitude is almost aggressive
Ooh
Expression of excitement or pleasure
And when you breathe
Your breathing gives me life
It's like you're breathing life into me
Your breath sustains me
Me
Referring to himself
I can't lie
I have to be honest
If I had to choose the way that I die
If I had a choice in how I die
I die
I would choose to die in this moment
I'm inside
I am deeply connected to you
If I could stay here forever I'd try
If it were possible, I would stay with you forever
But I
But unfortunately
[Chorus]
Refrain of the song
This can't get better
This cannot possibly improve
'Cause every move I make makes you
Because every action I take affects you in a positive way
Can I say that?
Is it okay if I express myself in this way?
And I never
I have never before
Let anyone this close but I let her
I have never allowed anyone to get this close to me, but I have allowed her to
It feels so good right now I could die
I am so happy that I could die in this moment
It's true
What I am feeling is genuine
It's in my mind
What I am feeling is in my head
Because I never touched you
Because I have not physically touched you
But I'd like to
But I would like to touch you intimately
[Chorus]
