Lyrics

Cool with the diggers 
cool with the clappers 
cool with  your bitches 
we ain’t cool with you rappers 
2 hands trying to wave it frontwards put him in a back woods 
young but bro said I move like the old school era I know he ain’t cappin 
star in my prime but I still got a car with the star behind 
let the old lady past then blast Tryna do it polite
watch bro get the w I’ll drive 
do it on the w and the drive 
bitch in the car she don’t know we’re live she’s looking away she’s shy

g63 at petrol station 8 minutes to fill up the tank 
take 2 minutes to fill up the mash 
quick let trey Recoil 
Bought two does that make me spoilt 
rusty heat no WD  we gotta use baby oil 
Turned Lambeth upside down all these 9s & 38 auto sounds 
Hit him in his hat and it bought him down 
g  lock with a extra leg one foot on peg squeeze trying to put him to bed 
new school era there pulling out phones we pulling up leaving a mess  

<Chorus>
Think they do it like us but we’re so much clever 
so much pressure 
gotta teach them cos they don’t know much better 
brick on the scale but I already know the measure 
we just getting it done and won’t say a word like the old school era   

<Verse>
something gets done then ( shh ) ( shh)  
fill it all up then ( bow) (boww)  
no key in the car just (push) 
got a key in the trap I (whip) (whip) 
seen him there done him up well done left shit medium rare 
you see the flare 9/10 the machines in there 
2 in the dots now the shoes got air holes looking like crocs 
don’t care what it cost I feel reimbursed when something gets got   

Cool with shavers 
cool with bakers 
I ain’t cool if you lose it 
but I’m cool with replacements

<Chorus>
Think they do it like us but we’re so much clever 
so much pressure 
gotta teach them cos they don’t know much better 
brick on the scale but I already know the measure 
we just getting it done and won’t say a word like the old school era

Better Days

What A Devastating Turn of Events

Robbed

Cristale was born in Brixton around the turn of the millennium . She was raised by an incredibly strong family unit to which all  members supported her hard work and dedication associated with but not restricted to Academia, Football and Spoken Word Poetry. While at primary school, she would compete against her peers in bantering rap battles, with lyrics she and her uncle had written together. Invariably she would win. In year seven, aged 1, she won the first slam poetry competition at her school, beating kids from all other year groups. From there she went on to compete against kids from other schools.

Growing up in a Caribbean household, dancehall artists like Buju Banton and Tony Matterhorn were on regular rotation on Cristale’s family stereo. As she grew up she took a liking to grime rappers like Chip, Stormzy and Wretch 32, as well as funky house acts like T2 and Sweet Female Attitude. Beginning her rap career at 19, her first four mainstream releases were freestyles, Cristale remixed Poundz’s ‘Opp Thot’, Pa Salieu’s ‘Frontline’ and Unknown T and Crazy Cousinz’ ‘Throwback’. She can write lyrics to any type of instrumental, with a vocal style defined by sharp attentive lyricism.

Having grown up writing poetry, her natural talent is as a wordsmith- a trait that aligns her with legendary artists like Lauryn Hill, who carries an essence of realism that Cristale is inspired by. She has a similarly striking attitude on the mic as well, adept at riding any beat and effortlessly likeable. Her competitive spirit is perhaps a legacy of a childhood spent playing football, first at school, where she learned, then she was scouted at 14 to play and train with U16s and U18s at Crystal Palace FC . She is a very non- controversial individual- but she is not afraid of any competition she may face in the UK rap scene.

As a product of south London, she kick started her career by recording at Digital holdings studios, which also gave rise to successful British rap artists like Dot Rotten, Harlem Spartans and SL - Cristale is one of UK music’s hottest prospects. She has singles in the pipeline and a treasure chest of unreleased music on her hard drive. Her latest release “BOOTH (Part 2)” a freestyle over Ruff Sqwad’s classic grime instrumental ‘Together’, is a nod to Chip - a formative influence on Cristale who used the same beat on ‘Coward’ - and an unerring statement of intent.

She is ready for anything the music industry has in store for her.
