After being down for a while, K-Riz comes bounding back. Newfound freedom after injury and bad relationships left him seeing the light, and on One Way Ticket, K-Riz’s tightly-wound raps are inflated by a sense of joy and levity. His symphonic compositions are built by a parade of producers and instrumentalists from across the country, creating lush music that really feels purposeful. K-Riz proves he’s one step closer to the cosmos.
