after a few good connects and me being all movida trying to find where to get myself situated, i started doing legit shows and even featured on a couple albums. talk to people, let them know you rap, show them, if you dont have a real demo.. rap to them live like i did one time at a control machete show! lol. someone is bound to listen! if you send a demo and they never hit you back up, dont trip! i sent out a lot and i didnt let that stop me! fuck it if one person dont like you, another 10 will. you cant just sit and wait! the reason im saying this is because thats one of the most frequent questions i get asked all the time.. how did you do it ms krazie? well there you have it.. ok so during one of my usual talks and out of no where raps, i was able to get a hold of a rapper by the name of don abusivo which at the time was signed to the major label.. universal. he heard me out and he passed the word on to his producer which then got a hold of me and set me up with the label im currently signed to, urban kings. it was a long long road and it would take me forever to try and document to you guys every single bump in the road but all i can tell you is that this music thing is nothing like what you imagine. yes, there is a lot of good stuff but more than good, theres a ton of bullshit and shady business. i always asked myself why some rappers drop one album and then you never hear from them again, now i understand why. you have to take so much crap that sometimes you sit there and be like, "is it really worth being in this music thing?" when you could be sitting at home having your regular job and being with your family stress free and bullshit free? i go to all kinds of artist pages and till this day i havent seen one that sets it clear for all these up coming artists to know the real truth about being an "artist" and that no, we dont all have tons of "feddi" (feria, money, cash) if you dont know what that means. some of us are broke most of the time, some of us have familys and sometimes the money simply isnt enough but with that said, the butterflies i get in my stomach everytime im about to hit a stage, is priceless. i guess you can say at the end of the day there are some things that make it all worth it, but clearly, know what your getting yourself into if this is the career you want to follow. always have a back up plan for your life.
pero anyways, enough complaining lets move on to the more simple who iam here at home sitting down playing video games type of bio lol. lets get to the good stuff lol; im a mother of (2) beautiful babydolls who are my world, yes my real eye color is blue, yes i bleach my hair and i like to use a lot of makeup lol and guess what, i love it! lol. im the type that likes to listen to music while she gets "ready" lol and i try not to take forever but the whole cat eyes & brows take the longest for me to get done. i love my hair and specially blonde but ive had it all kinds of colors in the past from browns, to violet shades lol, to bright red and orange lol, i do my own hair when it comes to coloring & bleaching, i also do my own styling most of the time because no one but me gets it when i try to explain the "big hair playmate sex kitten" look lol. no, my eyebrows are not tatted.. they are just real skinny and i draw the rest lol, i dont like to dress up that much so dont be fooled by the sultry look in my pictures because its rare. you can usually find me in jeans and a regular shirt for comfy'ness lol. i love big hoop earrings and rhinestones. i love anything like necklaces or bracelets ect with my name or nickname on them. i dont really party, i rather kick back at home with friends or family and just talk & laugh but i also like to go out with friends from time to time and just have us some good as fun you know. watching tv or going to the movies is good, horror/triller films and shows about paranormal stuff are my favorite! i like to cruise it bumping some loud as music lol. to sum it all up, im pretty much laid back status, i sometimes dont like too many people around lol "me engentan" if you know what that means heh.. odd because when i go to shows im ok but when im like at my gramas house and she has tons of old ladys over.. im like go away senoras!!! lol. i love love love vitamin waters even if those sneaky sons of.. have like 125 calories a bottle lol, i like to eat mariscos, chongos, pastel de tres leches, flanes and junk of all sorts lol. i also enjoy me some xbox live and just talking to all kinds of people on there and playing guitar hero 3 and ghost recon 1 & 2 but i prefer 1 lol and no im not hella good haha. lets see what else can i say.. i listen to all kinds of music and sometimes me pegan arranques de loquera and ill bump some el chapo de sinaloa lol and then the next minute im like hell naw and ill bump some sonora dinamita lol im a big fan of cumbias, i love to dance em and everything and all the sonoras i like la sonora dinamita, sonora santanera, sonora chevere, sonora tropical ect. i sometimes like to sing along with margarita from one of the sonoras & still grab a hairbrush as a mic and sing to the mirror lol. i seldomly listen to rap, which people trip out on that but i dont know.. i mean i hardly even like to listen to myself lol. i guess after being locked in the studio for so many hours doing the same songs, the last thing you want to do is hear that song again lol. i also like rock en espanol like for example hombres g or soda estereo and in english some of rage against the machine, muse, and basically everyone from guitar hero 3 lol and some others without forgetting to include those firme oldies both in english and spanish. i consider myself a nice person, im sweet. some people say that i look stuck up in my pictures but its nothing like that, believe me im such a joker lol. if your firme with me, im firme with you simple as that. i love taking pictures, if i wasnt a rapping i would probably be a photographer because i love all that photo stuff. photography is my second love. im not shy, i like taking risky pictures.. i love to feel sexy and transmit that in my pictures and at this point i dont care about other peoples opinions, im just me. i like to talk about everything and i joke around alot. i dont like to compete, i know a lot of girls who always try to see whos the prettyst or something like that but im the kind who will tell them, "yea your pretty now lets change the subject" lol. ok so on a final note, no se me aguiten que im pretty firme once you get to know me believe me im like this look at the face ;] lol. aqui estoy para si les puedo ayudar en algo.

It's that gangster life
It′s that gangster life
Homie do or die
Homie do or die
It's that gangster life
With tha baddest label making haters all unhappy
It started out with vic, turned out so fuckin sick
Now with all tha camponeros and this loca what a trip
You can say what you want and act how you feel
I′m already done explaining you already know tha deal
And on tha real... El verbos fully loaded
Ain′t nada candy coated when tha monarchys controllin
And rolling deep with malandros a mi lado
Soldados en la calle y tambien en el condado Influencia
Es lo ke tenemos y de sobre
Catch me in Santa Ana y tambien en Paso Robles
Cruising it all day, even in Carolina
Jealousy and hate is what they feel por esta nina
But I do what I do, y a mi me vale madre
Tha baddest fuckin ruca directa de Southern Cali
It's that gangster life
It′s that gangster life
Homie do or die
Homie do or die
Directly from tha streets
D. salas on the vocals simon
And the Beat
Oh oh oh
It's that gangster life
Loca stepped out on tha scene Makeup done so fuckin clean
Casi almost like a cat baby I′m an Urban Queen
Of tha juego Y enserio I hold it down strong
Comandanta of my army so don't ever do me wrong
I got tha C-Row Gangsters holding down tha title
Reyes Urbanos ya controlados los estados
Y el Mexside, eso me lo dejan por mi cuenta
La gente aprecia un chingo cuando el disco esta a la venta
I keep it vida baja, sporting some Old English
Bandana en mi cara homie es pa ke te fijes
Este es mi estilo, espada de dos filos
A part of me that wants to fuck you up y otra mas chido
Kick back, bump some Midget Loco
Himno Callejero en presencia de los cholos
Es la vida, cholera sinfonia
Rap mexicano con enferma melodia
It′s that gangster life

Homie do or die

Oh oh oh

I got one too many reasons to keep making it happen
Brown Is Beautiful and now tha new ones on and crackin
And what you gotta say, about that Chino Grande
Anybody Killa with tha lirica en la sangre
Padre disculpame por todas mis ofensas
Pero con lo ke hacemos no hay vato ke no se ofresca
Y mientras me sigas dando vida, I′m a do it
My place en este jale, that I′ve earned it and prove that
No matter tha odds I've held my own
Time away from home call my baby′s on the phone
But I'm posted on tha throne and I ain′t giving it up
Marcado con la sangre from tha time I had no love
Now I knw wussup...
Too many muthafuckers tryna claim it
I guess they didn't know about tha tranzas I be making
Movidas, vidas perdidas en la violencia
I′m all out of paciencia soy aka demencia
It's that gangster life

It′s that gangster life
Ms Krazie's song "It's That Gangsta Life Urban Kings" is a powerful and unapologetic ode to the gangster life, marked by violence, loyalty, and pride. The song's repetitive chorus serves as a clarion call to those who identify with the gangster lifestyle of "do or die." Ms Krazie's lyrics speak to the hardships and struggles of gang life, as well as the bonds of brotherhood and camaraderie that come with it. She speaks to her own success as a "baddest ruca" (girl) in Southern Cali, a status earned through her own "movidas" (moves) on the streets.
Throughout the song, Ms Krazie speaks to the various territories and cliques that make up the gang world, including the C-Row Gangsters and Mexside. She also acknowledges the violence and danger that come with this world, referencing "vidas perdidas en la violencia" (lives lost to violence). However, for Ms Krazie and those who identify with the gangster life, it is a part of their identity that cannot be denied: "Es la vida, cholera sinfonia" (It's life, cholera symphony). Ultimately, the song stands as a testament to the power and complexity of gang culture and the fierce loyalty that defines it.
