stage name Krizz Kaliko, is an Americanrapper andsinger fromKansas City ,Missouri . He is a long time collaborator with fellow hometown native,Tech N9ne , even being signed to the label that Tech co-owns,Strange Music .Career
Krizz Kaliko began his musical career in the late 1990's 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 and the group
Skatterman & Snug Brim . He has also collaborated with theKottonmouth Kings , Potluck as well asTwiztid .His debut album, "Vitligo" released in 2008, charted on several
Billboard charts .Personal life

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 clearly visible on his face. He would later use the name of the disease he suffers from as the title for his debut album.Discography
