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 ↴
I know you do
Don’t fight me (don’t fight me)
I’ll undress you too
You can bite me (you can bite me)
I know you like it rough
Insatiable, she can’t get enough
Ayayaya-ah
I’m all around the world, you got that fly-ayayaya-ah
She must be an alien, tearin’ up every bed she layin’ in
[Chorus]
What is your species? (What is your species?)
I love the way you smell (I love the way)
What is your species? (What is your species?)
I know and I can’t tell (and I can’t tell)
Take me there, oh, take me there
Take me there, oh, take me there
Take me there, oh, take me there
Take me there, oh, take me there
Cutie don’t purr it (rawr)
And a unique set makes primates wild
The opposite’s the same but we’re all attracted
I can like you not, means you just have to
Hold up! (hold up) It’s the war of the worlds
They’re fonded in the shape of a girl
Nose who brighteous tans and she eats her mini
Phone home cause you’re not alone
[Chorus]
I’m outta here (wait out) of my atmosphere (wait out)
If you never had you’ll never will
Cause if you got it, you pay the bill
What I’m thinkin’ (okay), you can see right through me
I’m kickin’ (you are?) from what you do to me
The lights go out, she comes on
I want some (but where you from girl?)
My God baby I really want some (want some more?)
I’m really triggered (off of me you are?)
Now baby listen I’m fallin’ (fallin’ in love with me?)
How do you know? (what you’re thinkin?)
[Chorus]
Baby, what the hell are you?
What the hell I am?
