Krimson Creek is the second studio album by the American rapper Boondox, released on May 13, 2008, by Psychopathic Records.
Music and lyrics
Krimson Creek is a more personal work than The Harvest, with songs inspired by events from Boondox' life, including an incident in which his uncle tried to kill him by drowning him in a swimming pool, getting into fights at his school and experiments with drugs. The final track, "Death of a Hater", was inspired by negative reactions to his music. "I've read things where I've had people say, 'I hate him. I hope he dies. I hope his kids die' [...] I pretty much wrote a song about what I would do to those people".[1] Banjo and harmonica are incorporated into the album's instrumentation.[2]

Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Anthony Tognazzini wrote, "Despite his unique getup, Boondox falls in line with labelmates Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid in his penchant for horror movie imagery and eerie atmospherics".[2]
