St. Petersburg native Cristol sets streets ablaze with new mixtape

Famous and Broke 1.5

Tampa, FL - Fueled by his latest mainstay mix show single “Smack It Up” featuring Sekay, St. Petersburg, Fla.-based recording artist Cristol has kept summer months scorching hot with the recent release of his highly anticipated mixtape Famous and Broke 1.5.

Featuring exclusive tracks with gold and platinum superstars Rick Ross, Lil Boosie, 2 Pistols and Gucci Mane, the mixtape has already garnered much love across the Sunshine State and quickly catching on like wildfire throughout the rest of the South.

“You won’t hear me rapping about shooting, killing or flipping bricks because I don’t do that,” Cristol explains. “But I might be in a situation where all of that is around because I’m from the streets. So you gone get the streets from a different point of view.”

Cristol stepped onto the scene just five short years ago with his DJ Trans-produced debut hit single “Whatcha Drinkn On” featuring Strizzo and Sojo. He came back two years later with follow-up club banger “My Pockets Swoll” featuring Baton Rouge bad boy Lil Boosie.

The singles along with heavy Internet traffic garnered Cristol a chance to produce and feature on the official team song for the Tampa Bay Rays, “It’s Our Season” featuring fellow Florida rappers Big Gill and Bay Boy in 2008.

With the Rays excelling to the Number 1 spot that season, Cristol got more attention than he ever dreamed. However, life wasn’t all sweet for the aspiring entertainer.

“From me doing the Rays song, I’m number one of the radio. I was famous but I didn’t make no money,” he confesses. “I’m staying with my momma and at the time, she was losing her house. It didn’t make no sense for me flossing on my mixtape because I didn’t have that.”

Other certified heat seekers are cuts such as “Ahh Ahh”, “She Don’t Give A Damn,” and “Swag So Mean.”

Most recently, Cristol made a cameo appearance on international reggae artist Da’Ville’s remix single Wine U A Wine. With a career already taken off, Cristol is set to blow beyond the stratosphere. “When we got the phone call to do the record, I wasn’t very hip on the reggae market,” says Cristol. “Come to find out, Da’Ville has a big name.”

No matter the genre or audience, Cristol has the versatility that represents the sound of tomorrow. “I got that charisma and personality that you can’t teach an artist to have,” he says. “I can go inside the most gutter, gangsta club and adapt to that crowd and do a good performance. Then I can go to a white club, adapt and do a good show with the same music.”
