Clear some room in your lineup. Russian Assassin Boyz is here at Crysp with two Reserve Batch flower selections: Astro Runtz and Toad Z.
Two strains. Two size options. A brand story rooted in Southern California breeding and cultivation.
Here’s the background behind the name, and a look at the lineup available now.
Southern California Roots. Los Angeles Cultivation.
The Russian Assassin Boyz story starts behind the scenes, with breeding, cultivar selection, and hands-on cultivation. This isn’t a brand that popped up overnight chasing trends – they’ve been putting in work in the LA cannabis scene for years, building a reputation for quality before stepping into the spotlight.
In September 2020, The Cannabis Connoisseur described Russian Assassin Boyz as a “Southern California based next-level cannabis breeder and cultivator” with a large portfolio of top-shelf flowers and concentrates, noting that “the majority of their strains are breed, selected, and grown inhouse”. That in-house approach matters. It means control over every stage of the process, from selecting parent genetics to dialing in the final cure.
A separate 2022 High Times feature documented the brand’s connection to Traditional’s downtown Los Angeles cultivation facility. The article described a tour led by Dima (aka Russian Assassin Boyz) through the facility’s various rooms, from the “Mother Room” to the packaging room, each with its own “divine fragrance”. That kind of hands-on involvement tells you something about the level of care behind the operation.
Those accounts bring two parts of the brand’s background into focus: its deep involvement in selecting and growing cultivars, and its documented connection to a legitimate Los Angeles cultivation operation. Russian Assassin Boyz earned their stripes in the competitive LA market before bringing their genetics to Crysp’s Reserve Batch lineup.
Meet the Drop
Astro Runtz
Genetics: Zkittlez × Gelato
Sweet, fruity, and a little creamy. Astro Runtz pairs Zkittlez’s candy-fruit character with Gelato’s dessert-style appeal, bringing an expected profile of bright citrus, a touch of sourness, and soft vanilla sweetness.
The Zkittlez side brings that unmistakable candy-fruit aroma—think tropical sweetness with a grapey edge. Gelato contributes the creamy, dessert-like finish that made it a modern classic. Together, they create something that’s both nostalgic and distinctly modern.
If fruit-forward flavors with a creamy twist are your lane, meet your next lineup contender.
Available in:
- 7g: $64.99
- 28g: $199.99
Toad Z
Genetics: Toad Venom × Zkittlez
Candy meets citrus, mint, and gas. Toad Z brings together Zkittlez’s sweet, fruity character and Toad Venom’s reported lemon-lime, minty-cookie, and diesel notes.
Toad Venom has become one of the most talked-about cultivars in recent memory, earning recognition from outlets like High Times and GreenState. Its complex profile, sweet and citrusy up front with minty cookies and a gassy diesel backbone, makes it a standout parent. Paired with Zkittlez, you get a cross that’s equal parts sweet, sharp, and savory.
Based on that lineage, expect a profile that leans toward sweet fruit up front, with tart citrus, a cool mint edge, and a deeper gassy character underneath. A little sweetness. A little sharpness. Plenty to explore.
Available in:
- 7g: $74.99
- 28g: $229.99
Flavor descriptions reflect the expected profiles of these crosses. Individual batches can vary.
