Matthew Antelmi Patone, a 25 year old Italian/Irish, New Yorker from Staten Island, who goes by the stage name "Kritikal".
Here's an artist with the pop appeal of a - black eye peas, the lyrical wit of a - B.o.B and a raspy vocal delivery of a - JadaKiss. Kritikal has been busy spreading his music from NY to MIA, he has been hard at work writing, performing and selling music.
Kritikal cites a friendly disagreement with a long time friend over who could write the best rhymes as his initial reason for writing his first raps. "My friend was persistent that it wasn't easy to rap, I decided to prove him wrong and after writing a couple of verses, and getting all the good feedback that I did, I just stuck with it."
An inspiration to his music, his brother has really played a big role in many of the tracks found on each of his albums. He cites the many situations he's seen throughout his upbringing for the creative evolution of his music. His first song, called 'Verbally Vicious' was all about bragging about how much nicer he was at rapping than anyone else doing it. "After I listen to a song, I think how can I improve on this? And most times I just end up writing a new song." Since his first song 12 years ago, he's been the mastermind behind 5 full-length cd's.
Kritikal's Miss NYC has has played at top 40 stations and continues to focus on live performances along the north and southeast region coupled with online marketing and promotion.
