Story

Life isn't a game. There's no re-spawns and there are no do-overs. With the time i have on this planet, I realized I have one purpose. Music. I started out in the ashes of Phoenix, AZ, practicing my craft wherever i wandered. Neighborhood to neighborhood, party to party, as well as show to show, seeking out anyone following that same light. What else is there to live for than the artist's vibe? This irrepressible urge to formulate lyrical melodies out of raw emotion for the sole purpose of other's subjective personal relation, to breathe and understand life a couple bars at a time. This is what, I, Krim$ a.k.a. $mirk, live for. Born in Sin City, raised in the Valley of the Sun, taking the roots to the studio and giving the world my exclusive take on how the party really never stops. I am an artist that truly goes with the wind and my style changes as rapid as the beat pulses. Promoting authentic street gear, local business, and artists alike, i believe no dream is too small. Founder of Project "Square 1", a movement set on shedding a spotlight on those who truly deserve it, this is my cause.
