Engaged in rap through neighborhood friends, he soon decided to dedicate himself to dancehall.

It's as a young DJ (15 years old) from Point-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, that he met the Black Micky crew. With them, he tours the local sound systems and meets Tiwony, Admiral T, and Little Espion. The latter brings him to the Kickilla team's studio in France, that he never left since.

Along with the Guadeloupean sound system Blackwarell, Kickilla co-produced the first compilation to feature Krys, "R2D2" - with the title "Yo Tout Penar". Four titles then followed, each on a separate compilation, that all became major underground dancehall hits: An Vlé An Gal (on "Megawatt"), Gardes Cocotes (B52 riddim - "Dancehall Tracks"), Mouveman’la (Aaxxia riddim), and Pa goumé ba fanm (Jurassik Time riddim).

A 10-titles album named "Krys" was released in November 2004, that featured those 4 tracks but 6 then unrealesed ones. A kind of a firestart before a forthcoming complete album release.

Overall Meaning

The song "V.I.P" by Krys is all about what it means to be a VIP. The French lyrics talk about different characteristics that make someone a VIP, such as being fresh, clean, sexy, and flashy, while also touching on negative attributes that would knock someone out of VIP status, such as being a "pute" (prostitute). The refrain repeats "ki moun ki VIP" (who is a VIP) to drive home this concept.

The song is an exploration of class and social hierarchy, with Krys positioning himself and his listeners as the ultimate VIPs. The mention of an entrance fee of 50€ that jumps to 500€ for VIPs, as well as the permission to skip lines and disregard social norms, emphasizes this idea of exclusivity and power.

Overall, "V.I.P" is a playful and confident anthem that celebrates the idea of being at the top of the social ladder.

Let's party and see all the VIPs tonight, you see?

VIP VIP VIP VIP ki moun ki VIP VIP VIP
Who are the VIPs? The VIPs are the VIPs.

O swé la mwen bizin sav ki moun ki fresh ki moun ki clean ki moun ki sex ki moun ki blip ki moun ki VIP ouai mwen bizin sav ki moun ki fö ki moun ki flap ki moun ki blip ki moun ki pute ki moun pa VIP
I need to know who's fresh, who's clean, who's attractive, who's flashy, who's a VIP, who's fake, who's poor, who's flashy, who's a whore, and who's not a VIP.

Si ou sé an brand new ke ou ka mete ca ho ke ou o top nivo ou sé an VIP si ou sé an couchal ou bizin fouté bordel ou pa inmin dancehall ou pa an VIP
If you're brand new and you're dressed well and you're at the top level, you're a VIP. But if you're a couch potato, you need to cause trouble and disrupt the party. Otherwise, you're not a VIP.

Entré la té ka couté 50€ telmen nou VIP nou ba sé missié la 500€ gadé la monnaie fai rentré sa ki déwo si yo raté swaré la sa demin matin yo ké mô lé chofè vé l'aperro non c pa 1€ VIP ouai c ça voila le mo bienvenu en pa Jero je ne tchek pa lé l'éro di moi déja c koi ton numero?
The entrance was 50€, but we VIPs gave the guy 500€. Look at the change! Make sure the people behind us get in. If they miss tonight's party, they'll regret it tomorrow. When the driver takes us home, the fare won't be a euro, it'll be VIP. Welcome to the party. I don't care about the drinks. What's your phone number?

tone the clap, tone the clap, VIP ka babylone 1 2 clap pon di river, pon di bank ti moun a bondié ka fimé zeb i ka fai (.?^*$$ù) blazé, blazé, difé ka pren lé VIP ka dancé Gi dem a run sé VIP ki suiv le flow pa tenn'
We clap our hands, we clap our hands, the VIPs are rocking it. Party by the river, party by the bank. The young people are smoking weed and making it. The VIPs dance while the fire is burning. Let them run. The VIPs follow the flow and never surrender.
