KRYSTATIC
‘Stepping Out The Box’
(Tru Fam Records)

For the bubbling synthesizers to the 808 drums and snares on the opening track ‘Rhyme and Blues’ I knew this could be something special. Produced by SX this track has a deadly sub-bass rhythm which sets the stage for Krystatic’s debut so well. There’s plenty more to talk about too with the impressive Hip-Hop banger ‘The Taste’ produced by Dezert Rhino really hitting the spot. It reminds me of how Hip-Hop should be… positive lyrics and a real catchy hook. Other highlights on the album include ‘Time Is Money’ which is again produced by Dezert Rhino and the mainstream sounding ‘Stay Loyal’ where Rico Levant not only gives up a superb hook but also gives up a dope beat.

Krystatic definitely has his own vibe and has definitely benefited from having some quality production. This is an impressive debut album, it’s adventurous and real. To think this emcee is only nineteen is kind of crazy as he seems to have such a mature approach to not just his career but also his music. We like this artist, he makes good songs and above all he has made a good solid debut album. Make sure you check out Krystatic at the My Space address below!
