Album Notes

Crave Bio

Hip-Hop today has become an amalgamation of all it's previous eras. Transitioning from the old school two-turn tables and a microphone to the gangster rap of the early and mid 90's, to the days when the shiny suit reined, to the rebirth of hip hop's consciousness. Hip-hop now encompasses a myriad of styles and emanates from a myriad of musical backgrounds. One of hip-hop's newest voices, Crave, fuses together all of these different influences. His simplistic flow and thematic complexity, combined with soulful production, serve to create an indefinable musical journey. Crave refuses to be boxed into the stereotypical genres of rap music. The name Crave is a self-given title. The name Crave depicts the passion and no nonsense lyrics that seep through the bars like "Beautiful", "What's Love", My Ghetto My Soul Mate”, and "Psycho Rap Killer".

Beginning his journey into the epicenter of rap by battling on the streets of Brooklyn, Crave attempts in each song to paint a musical visual of his world, his passions, and his creativity. "The way I see things set me apart, I write as if someone were watching a movie of my lyrics. I want to bring creativity back to rap, not just write elementary rhymes to a catchy beat, says Crave. With more than a decade of study and dissection of hip-hop music, Crave is planning his breakout into the rap race by selling his new CD to 2crave4 out on the streets and performing at open mics.
