Kryptik ft: Pro Focus - Industrial Strength (Official Video)
Scottish hip hop heavyweight Kryptik continues a busy year with the release of Industrial Strength, a powerful new collaboration with rising Ayrshire born, Stirling based rapper Pro Focus.
Originally crafted during lockdown, the track sees Kryptik revisiting his Drum & Bass roots, blending gritty synths, deep basslines and a live hip hop breakbeat into a high energy fusion that hits hard from start to finish. Although the instrumental sat unfinished for years, everything changed when Kryptik and Pro Focus connected while supporting Fliptrix in Glasgow. The pair quickly realised they had the chemistry to bring the track to life.
The result is a raw, chaotic and meticulously crafted anthem packed with sharp lyricism, dynamic production and an authentically live feel. Both MCs attack the beat with precision, delivering intricate flows over a relentless backdrop.
Accompanied by a rugged music video filmed in a Glasgow train yard, Industrial Strength channels old school Beastie Boys energy while embracing modern, technical wordplay.
For those unfamiliar with Kryptik, the Paisley artist has built an impressive reputation over the past decade, evolving from beatboxer, producer and Drum & Bass DJ into one of Scotland's most respected independent hip hop voices. With international performances, award nominations and support from BBC Introducing, Radio X and major UK publications, he continues to push his sound into new territory.
Industrial Strength lands on all major streaming platforms today (19 June).
