The track record is impeccable, the flow is malicious, the future of African hip hop is finally secure. Thanks to one Anthony Victor Muligisa more commonly known as K.R.Y.T.I.C.

Weighing in at more than six years of nonstop good music, two mixtapes deep, and a critically acclaimed album, entitled Best Before Forever, K.R.Y.T.I.C is set for nothing but greatness.

Born on August 9th, 1987 in the small town of Jinja, Uganda. K.R.Y.T.I.C is the first of a family of four. Due to all the civil unrest in his home country, his family relocated all across the Nile, for about two years, finally settling down in Zambia in ‘89. There is totally nothing cliche about this guy because as much as everyone claims they got introduced to music at a tender age. Anthony was just your average kid next door and the girl next door would soon learn, a rather cute one at that.

There was nothing…not even his witty nature…that would have hinted the brightly lit future he now faces. His earliest experience with music were Michael Jackson’s ‘Dangerous’ album, a tape that he got off his dad. He dabbled in writing slight poetry and by the time he got to his teens, his writing was getting the attention of high school poetry competitions.

Him and music finally made the connection when he overheard his neighbors recording verses over beat box instrumentals. He was instantly drawn towards the witty rhyme patterns, the kick, the snares ,the punchlines that make up the art form he now fights so passionately to defend.

Staying up late nights,sacrificing school grades and social activities…the young poet fought day and night to sharpen his skills on the mic
