Legends are born here. Killing Field Records is an independent underground hip-hop label out of Lincoln, Nebraska. Hardcore rap and dark trap, made by a small crew that does things its own way. Everything we put out is engineered and mixed by Cryptic-X.
Bryan "Cryptic-X" Jenkins and Anthony "Jinx" Jenkins started the label on September 1, 2019. Anthony made records as Jinx, and his Book of Colors trilogy, Black, Sanguine and Gold, is still the center of everything here. Anthony died in May 2025, and we're still putting out the music he left behind.
Sugar Cones are Populus and Bagheadddd, the unhinged side of the label, with two albums so far: Swinging and Swimming. enemyX is Jinx and Cryptic-X, and the enemyX album follows a serial killing duo from start to finish. Cryptic-X is the solo project, mostly beats, in the Style X instrumental series.

Five artists make up the roster.
Jinx was Anthony Jenkins (1994 to 2025), a rapper from North Platte who moved to Lincoln in 2013 and co-founded the label. He made the Book of Colors trilogy. Return to Sender is the first single from his posthumous album, Shit Ain't What It Seems.
Sugar Cones are Populus and Bagheadddd, a Lincoln duo making experimental, underground hip-hop that rarely sits still.
enemyX is Jinx and Cryptic-X as a duo. They formed it in 2021 out of the Making Hip-Hop subreddit cypher scene and released the self-titled album in 2024.
Cryptic-X is Bryan "Cryptic-X" Jenkins, the label's co-founder, producer and engineer. His solo work is instrumental hip-hop, and he mixes and masters every Killing Field Records release.
BLXXDSHOT is a masked rapper on the label. His debut single, IDGAF, featuring Populus of Sugar Cones, came out March 28, 2025.
The Book of Colors trilogy is where the label starts. Jinx wrote it in 2016, and it came out one album at a time: Black on January 3, 2020, Sanguine on July 23, 2021 and Gold on April 8, 2022.
The enemyX album came out July 19, 2024: fifteen tracks built like a crime file, with Conway the Machine among the guests. Style X is three volumes of Cryptic-X instrumentals, Vol. 1, Vol. 2 and Vol. 3: The End. Sugar Cones released Swinging on August 4, 2023 and Swimming on October 3, 2025.
Singles fill in the years between, from Hot as Fuck in 2022 to The Flying Man Vince Carter in 2026. Every release, with streaming links, is in the discography, and the singles have their own list.
The Fields is our recording studio, in Turbine Flats in Lincoln. We moved in on February 2, 2023, and every Killing Field Records mix and master is done there.

Both founders grew up in North Platte, and the label was built in Lincoln. Most of our shows happen between Lincoln and Omaha: the Bourbon Theatre, Reverb Lounge, The Waiting Room and Four Winds Omaha Music Festival.
