Versatility is the name of the game for Kanizzle, reading a crowds ebb and flow and seamlessly playing everything from jungly double-time dubstep riddims, moombahton, drumstep, and tribally-Bmore-club-inspired electro....to perfectly timed set surprises like Fine Young Cannibals, Bootsy Collins, and Outkast. Translated - he drops choice selections of tribal ghetto bass heavy grime that not only alligns your chakras for you...it is known to incite vision quests for even the most learned of masters. High energy, fun, loose, and funky are good buzzwords for Kanizzle - as his roots are deep in hip hop and funk music.
