Buck 65 Tour w/ Kool Krys – Black Sheep Inn, Wakefield, QC – Jan. 28 & 29, 2012

January 31, 2012 – 3:31 am

The first two sold-out shows of the Buck 65 Tour w/ Kool Krys at the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield, QC were very special.

The audience of long-time Buck 65 fans was incredibly responsive and loving. It was a blessing for Bix and I to kick-off this truly memorable experience at the Black Sheep Inn… which is so much more than a music venue.

Check out pics from the blacksheep shows from Buck 65 Tour w/ KOOL KRYS & Bix – stay tuned for live videos coming soon!

Kool Krys goes on tour with Canadian Legendary Artist Buck 65

January 24, 2012 – 3:24 am

Dear friends,

As an avid east-coast hip hop contributor & supporter (long before I pursued university studies in Halifax), I have always been an adoring Buck 65 (Rich Terfry) fan.

If you have never had the chance to listen to Buck 65′s music, you are missing Canadian lyricism at its finest over experimental sound blending hip hop, blues, country, rock, folk & avant garde.

Having followed Buck 65′s career from Vertex to Synesthesia to Square to Situation to his Dirtbike trilogy, I have watched his artistry grow and flourish across continents. I had the special opportunity to interview him during my university years when he released Secret House Against the World. At the time, Buck 65′s experimental sound had seemed to shift from what hip hop heads were accustomed to from him Stinkin’ Rich era… I admired him for taking that risk thus expanding his prominence and in turn, his international audience.

I have now been invited to tour with Buck 65 across 5 Ontario cities scheduled to perform 7 shows starting this Saturday, Jan. 28 at the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield, QC.

For all the true hip hop heads living in the Ottawa and Toronto areas, I hope you will join us and experience what is Buck 65.

Much love and hope to see you soon -

Kool Krys

Kool Krys “Listen to Your Art” – Special Thanks

December 17, 2011 – 4:51 pm

Hello Show Stoppers!

I’d like to thank each of you for your ongoing support of my music and for motivating me to create my third album “Listen to Your Art”, which will officially be released tonight at Rancho Relaxo in Toronto.

This album is a reflection of experiences that have changed me as a person and given me opportunities to develop my artistry. Anyone who has ever created art knows the feeling of accomplishing something with meaning. “Listen to Your Art” carries the message that what we create represents how we feel… therefore it is essential that we listen to that voice inside of us.

I am grateful to the team behind “Listen to Your Art” – all beats/cuts are by Bix and the album was engineered and mastered by Andrew Kilgour (Fresh Kils) at the Kilzone. Toronto artist Saidah Conrad blessed the album on the track “It’s Sunny”. Thank you also to my label Droppin’ Science Productions for your ongoing support of my music and to 2011 Juno-Nominated rap artist Ghettosocks for motivating me to keep building.

Thanks to The NE Inc. and MuchFACT for supporting my first music video for the debut single “Show Stopper” from “Listen to Your Art”. Multiple 2011 MMVA Nominee Director Marc André Debruyne’s vision for this song was truly inspirational for all the women out there changing the game.

For anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, you can catch the “Show Stopper” video here

I hope “Listen to Your Art” inspires each of you and that you will in turn share it with the people who inspire you: KOOL KRYS – LISTEN TO YOUR ART

Stay tuned for exciting news from Kool Krys in 2012 at koolkrys.com !

Love,

Kool Krys
