He started rapping around 15 years old but didn’t actually want to become an industry artist until the 10th grade when he met Dominique Elder (manager). “When I met Domo it was crazy because we were homies for a while before I noticed he was a really talented artist himself. If anything he was just as good as me, if not better! That pushed me to work harder at my craft” he said. Though Craze has been writing for so long, he’s just recently releasing his debut mixtape “By The Code” was released to the streets November 30th. When asked why it took so long he replied  “I mean there’s a right time for everything. I always had what it took to make it, but back then they wasn’t trying hear a youngin’ like me. But I feel like there is no better time then now”. Craze is the co -founder  of TakeoffSquad, and is distributed under the upcoming music label Rollz Royce Muzik. He’s dedicated to his craft, Loyal to his family, and committed to making it big in the rap game.
