Seventh disk released by KRS-One, Tekitha and Peedo are the only guests, while the production is handled by KRS, his brother Kenny Parker, Da Beatminerz, Ghetto Pros, DJ Revolution, Choco, Inebriated Beats, Gato Luna and DJ Tiné Tim. It's the third album of five released with Koch Records and the last one from the early 2000s: the label gets the title wrong ("Kristyles" should be "Kris-style") and releases the album with tracks that the rapper doesn't want to insert. There are therefore different editions in which the tracklist changes profoundly. It's a return to form for KRS after a couple of average efforts, even if it doesn't shine completely. The production sounds minimal as in the rest of his discography, the boom bap has ample room to maneuver in order to support Kris' usual bars, performed with energy and honest flow. There are no real highlights or weaknesses, the record is compact and concrete for an hour: it gets a lukewarm response from the insiders and a decent result in sales, becoming one of his flagship CDs in the following twenty years. 6.5/10.
