Kris Kemist began his musical career managing Jamaican reggae singer Mikey Murka in the early 2000s. In 2003, he launched Reality Shock Records, originally working with reggae artists Deadly Hunta, Aqua Livi, Smiley, Errol Bellot and Afrikan Simba. His label went on to release a string of records and albums including a compilation entitled Reality Shock Volume 1 (2008).

Kris Kemist's reggae influenced productions are described as "heavy enough for the UK dub rigs, yet melodic enough for home listening" in a BBC review of his 2010 album Solo Banton – Walk Like Rasta. In the summer of 2011, Kemist's production featuring vocals by the Canadian reggae singer Tony Anthony reached number 1 in the Italian Reggae Chart, and number 2 in the New York Chart.
