Kris Caruso (pronounced keroo-ZOH) is an omnisexual Mediterranean/Spanish/Middle Eastern Hip-Hop/Soul artist who began writing music (mixtapes at first) in 2012, and [officially] in 2015. In early 2016, he began to take pokes at Donald Trump and the alt-right through his work, along with his peers in the group TN Five, an alt-rock/Horrorcore group in the Williamson Country area of Tennessee.
When 2018 rolled around, things began to get tense when Ken-Tech and Chika began to produce works that got the attention of the local authorities. After thinking he lost his girlfriend (Cody Robinson, a.k.a. The W3ndigo) and Ken-Tech getting hit by a bus whilst running from the police after being charged with indecent exposure in a public area, K.mc. changed his stage name from Yung Christo to K.mc., deleted all of his works from the Internet, struggled through his own real-life version of Relapse, and finished his first semester of college. Shortly after, he cut all ties with Grayson Records and went out on his own.
He also had the unfortunate experience of doing a collaboration with the god-awful Lil Xin and somehow worse 9lokkNine.
In December of 2020, Kasizah was given the opportunity by Liz Jaconetta to do cover art for her single "What You Had". He has releases scheduled for 2022 (claimed), a set of projects titled Titus MMXXI.
