I thought "Vitiligo" was solid. I bought it the day it came out.
My only disappointment was that "Buku" wasn't on it. If you heard that jam, it's one of the BEST Krizz Kaliko songs ever.
"Genius" better be just that. "Back Pack" doesn't necessarily provoke visions of Einstein or Edison, BUT you can't judge the whole album on one track.
I believe in Krizz and I would never underestimate his talents. Ever since he sang the hook on "Keep On Keepin' On" and his Tech paralleled verses on "Welcome to the Midwest" and "Midwest Choppers" I know Krizz is one of the most raw and rare MC/Singers we've ever witnessed.
Seeing him live is enthralling as well because he performs with every bit of intensity as Tech and Kutt, who are considerably smaller and more athletic compared to Krizz. I'm glad to see him slim down a bit, good for him!
I was in Denver for the opening night of the "Fire and Ice Tour" and when I heard "Anxiety" it was over...
Let's hope "Genius" is his "Absolute Power"
Peace
