W.O.P (World of Payne) is a rhythmic club-popping Hip Hop anthem, with a seductive sax hook and dancehall style arrangement. In collaboration with producer Anthony “Tone T1” Fenner, Kris Payne delivers his first verse in flow that rivals Busta Rhymes and Twista. Each subsequent verse is delivered authoritatively as Payne provides his perspective on today’s Hip Hop and pop-culture of everyone trying to get rich with a new sound sure to stick in your head.

“You ain't ever ever ever had a sound like this..."Kris Payne is not your average rapper. His flow and lyrics will take you back in time, while his smooth, raw vocal delivery is poetic and wistfully visual. Kris often draws comparisons to the likes of the Notorious BIG, LL Cool J and Dr. Dre, which considering his childhood upbringing, and being a Leo with the same birthday as Chuck D and Professor Griff, may be an indication.

Payne grew up in Brooklyn, and then moved out to Baldwin, Long Island for high school. Kris worked his way into regular rotation on BET’s 106 & Park and then found himself in a cipher with Run DMC. Payne drew the attention of Public Enemy’s Chuck D and The Bomb Squad super producer Keith Shocklee, both local Roosevelt, Long Island natives.

Kris invested the past five years into building trust, which led to his mentorship from Hip Hop legends and eventually projects with Common and Rakim. Most importantly, Kris made the transition from playground battle rapper to recording artist now is now poised to set the stage on fire.

“Growing up in Brooklyn, helped teach me early on how to keep a beat, combined with poetry, I learned flow. But not until I moved to Long Island, did I learn my purpose.

Moving east gave me breathe, space and more importantly time to figure out who I was, and what I stood for.”
