Khingz is a rapper from Seattle, Washington. He was named Best MC Of The Year by Seattle Weekly readers in 2009 after the Juneteenth release of his most recent full-length album, From Slaveships To Spaceships; critics at The Stranger, SoundNW Magazine, and Seattle Weekly described the album "royally awesome," "deeply revelatory, transformative," and "one of the boldest and most soul-baring albums [of 2009]." The emcee, now known for his socially conscious and politically liberal lyrics, was heavily involved in a gang between the ages of 10 and 20; he told Seattle Weekly that period of his life "shaped who he is now" and that "certain tell-all scars from those days linger."

  • Khingz is a rapper from Seattle, Washington. He was named Best MC Of The Year by Seattle Weekly readers in 2009 after the Juneteenth release of his most recent full-length album, From Slaveships To Spaceships; critics at The Stranger, SoundNW Magazine, and Seattle Weekly described the album "royally awesome," "deeply revelatory, transformative," and "one of the boldest and most soul-baring albums [of 2009]." The emcee, now known for his socially conscious and politically liberal lyrics, was heavily involved in a gang between the ages of 10 and 20; he told Seattle Weekly that period of his life "shaped who he is now" and that "certain tell-all scars from those days linger." Khingz gained a reputation as a skilled battle emcee in the early 2000s. From 2001 to 2008, the emcee performed and released music as part of hip-hop group Abyssinian Creole with Gabriel Teodros. Khingz is also a member of Seattle-based hip-hop supergroup Good Medicine (with Geologic of Blue Scholars, Gabriel Teodros, and Macklemore), the trio Hi-Life Soundsystem (with B-Flat and Crispy of Godspeed), and The Livin Yard (with Gabriel Teodros and Nam). His first solo album, Mi Vida Negra, was released under the name Khalil Crisis in 2001; Khingz also released an album entitled Daze Like This with Maroon Colony in 1999, under the emcee name Krisys. Khingz maintains an active blog on Blogspot called Flying Dragon Punch. (en)
