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)
Everyone that you don′t hit put you on behind
Cuz the girl thats standing in line
Every notch on your belt
Just another notch I guess
A fifi back wearing a dress
People discover that you is insignificant
Sorta la viva loca and your living it
Beauty is a curse you the spell caster
Fornication is a sin give em hell faster
He try spit everyone he see
Everyone in front of me is a victim
Like her daddy he sho nuff can pick em
Stick em send em to the Grey Hound
Make lay down roll down
Whoa you better slow down

Slow down
Where are you going to
This worlds in front of you
Slow down slow down
Slow down
This worlds in front of you
So where are you going to
Please slow down
(Agginy)
Cute as a little button
The apple of your eye
This little girl thats interrupted was corrupt by lies
How can she not cry
How can she face her fears
How can she overcome her hurt and pain thats still here
With faith she climbs this high mountain where she belong
Her hands is bruised with cuts for climbing this mountain for so long
Her visions not strong
Her love is so weak
She tries to love again but is her love gone to sleep
Whisper sweet nothings in her ear
She loves the attention but is that what she wants to hear
Give him permission to take advantage of what is dear
More precious than silver or anything theres no compare
The consequences is more than what she can bear
No one to blame in her shame of what she gain
Plus she didnt care
When love is not given to you how do you love
Express affection with kisses and hugs
Maybe I should slow down

Slow down
Where are you going to
This worlds in front of you
Slow down slow down
Slow down
Where are you going to
This worlds in front of you
Please slow down
(Tech N9ne)
He
He almost died in ninty nina
When he poppeds E's
With vitamin C and Aquafina
Such a dark seed
You think he was a fiend if ever really seen him
But then he had to stop speed
Maybe now his grass would get a bit greener
But 3 years later he ran into a what
On top of having a major tour and creeping with a slut
His wife ordered a separation thats weaken him to the gut
Now hes back with a vengeance
Popping tweaking mentally stuck
Pill after pill on the tour
Hes popping Ex like its medicine
This is the way homeboy can fly away like a pelican
Without the family so far from heaven dove off in hell again
So ashamed of what he became
Cant even tell a friend
So he be lying steady fuckin with their mind
But on the inside hes dying internally crying
Desiring peace with his family but hes a beast
You wanna be dad you rehab
Put him on a leash
And hes hoping that his partner wont part from him
His art forming
Part the dark when in drops stop him from stardom
With drugs its the second go round
Blow now his heart will have no sound if he doesnt...

(Krizz Kaliko)
Now that I found (war)
I can give all the others the highs man
No longer young and dumb Imma wise man
Used to be too promiscuous with more than two I was your bit with this
See my wedding band and know where Im standing with this
Cuz theres alot of fruit in lifes basket
If you out there like that put a cast on it
Fork it in the casket
Live entertainment baby
Make em wanna lay with ya stay with ya
Put an autograph on they picture
Take it home with her sleep with it
Keep it in a spot where it can be found
This world is slowing me down
Keep it slow when you see the clock moving fast
And hope you watching what your doing

My serenade means nothing at all your playing the strings of my heart x2
My attempts to woo you are useless as you manipulate my emotions
Everyone that you don′t hit put you on behind
You only pursue those who play hard to get
Cuz the girl thats standing in line
There is always someone else waiting for their turn with you
Every notch on your belt
Every person you have slept with
Just another notch I guess
I am just another person for you to add to your list of conquests
A fifi back wearing a dress
A promiscuous person dressed in a revealing manner
No significant other
You do not have a serious romantic partner
People discover that you is insignificant
People realize that you are not important in their lives
Sorta la viva loca and your living it
You are living life recklessly and irresponsibly
Beauty is a curse you the spell caster
Your good looks are a disadvantage to you as you use them to manipulate and charm others
Fornication is a sin give em hell faster
Engaging in sex outside of marriage is wrong and you will face consequences for it

You flirt with everyone you encounter
Everyone in front of me is a victim

How can she not cry
It is difficult for her to trust and open up to someone new
How can she face her fears
Overcoming past hurt and fears is a challenge for her
How can she overcome her hurt and pain thats still here
She is still dealing with the emotional aftermath of past relationships
With faith she climbs this high mountain where she belong
She is working on herself and striving for personal growth
Her hands is bruised with cuts for climbing this mountain for so long
The process of healing is not easy and has been difficult for her
Her visions not strong
She is struggling to see a brighter future for herself
Her love is so weak
She is hesitant to love again and is guarding her heart
She tries to love again but is her love gone to sleep
She is attempting to love again but is cautious and unsure
Whisper sweet nothings in her ear
You try to win her over with kind words and flattery

She enjoys the affection but is uncertain if it is genuine
Give him permission to take advantage of what is dear
She may be allowing someone to take advantage of her feelings
More precious than silver or anything theres no compare
Her heart and well-being are extremely valuable
The consequences is more than what she can bear
The potential negative outcomes of a relationship could cause her significant pain
No one to blame in her shame of what she gain

Express affection with kisses and hugs
Showing physical affection can be a way to express love

I have found something worth fighting for
I can give all the others the highs man
I can let go of my past and focus on what is truly important
No longer young and dumb Imma wise man
I have learned from my mistakes and grown as a person
Used to be too promiscuous with more than two I was your bit with this
I used to sleep around and engage in casual relationships
See my wedding band and know where Im standing with this
My commitment to my marriage is clear and I am not interested in casual flings
Cuz theres alot of fruit in lifes basket
There are many opportunities for relationships and experiences in life
If you out there like that put a cast on it
If you are engaging in casual relationships, protect yourself emotionally
Fork it in the casket
Prioritize meaningful relationships over casual flings
Live entertainment baby
Live your life to the fullest and have fun
Make em wanna lay with ya stay with ya
Be charismatic and attract people who want to stick around
Put an autograph on they picture
Make an impression on people that is memorable and meaningful
Take it home with her sleep with it
Leave a lasting impression on someone that affects them even after you are gone
Keep it in a spot where it can be found
Remind people of your impact and memory on their lives
Keep it slow when you see the clock moving fast
Take a step back and slow down when life gets overwhelming
And hope you watching what your doing
Be mindful of your actions and choices to avoid negative consequences
He almost died in ninty nina
He had a close call with death in 1999
When he poppeds E's
When he used ecstasy (drug)
With vitamin C and Aquafina
He consumed these with the drugs to try to avoid negative effects
Such a dark seed
He has struggled with addiction and darkness in his life
You think he was a fiend if ever really seen him
He has been judged and misunderstood for his struggles with addiction
But then he had to stop speed
He had to stop using drugs
Maybe now his grass would get a bit greener
His life could improve now that he is sober
But 3 years later he ran into a what
Three years later he encountered a difficult situation
On top of having a major tour and creeping with a slut
He was busy with touring and being unfaithful to his partner
His wife ordered a separation thats weaken him to the gut
His wife separated from him, causing him emotional pain and turmoil
Now hes back with a vengeance
He is determined to succeed and overcome his struggles
Popping tweaking mentally stuck
He is using drugs again and feeling trapped
Pill after pill on the tour
He is using drugs to cope with touring and the difficulties in his personal life
Hes popping Ex like its medicine
He is using ecstasy as if it is a solution to his problems
This is the way homeboy can fly away like a pelican
He is escaping his problems, like a bird in flight
Without the family so far from heaven dove off in hell again
Without his family, he feels lost and is returning to using drugs
So ashamed of what he became
He is disappointed in himself for his actions and addiction
Cant even tell a friend
He is struggling and cannot confide in anyone
So he be lying steady fuckin with their mind
He is hiding his addiction from those around him and causing confusion
But on the inside hes dying internally crying
He is struggling emotionally and feeling immense pain
Desiring peace with his family but hes a beast
He wants to reconcile with his family but his addiction is getting in the way
You wanna be dad you rehab
He needs to go to rehab if he wants to be a good father and partner
Put him on a leash
He needs to be controlled and held accountable for his actions
And hes hoping that his partner wont part from him
He fears losing his partner and wants to salvage their relationship
His art forming
His music is his creative outlet
Part the dark when in drops stop him from stardom
His addiction is hindering his potential success and fame
With drugs its the second go round
He has relapsed with drug use
Blow now his heart will have no sound if he doesnt...
He risks losing everything, including his life, if he does not seek help and stop using drugs
