WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE CONTENT KIDD...HAILING STRATE OUT OF MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, CRAIZ HAS BEEN IN AND AROUND MIC CENTRE FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS, HOWEVER COMMITMENTS TO FOOTBALL, AND OTHER FACTORS IN THE MUSICIANS LIFE,MEANT 2004-2007 SAW CRAIZ TAKE AN EXTENDED BREAK FROM THE SCENE, RELEASING LITTLE NEW MATERIAL AND WRITING EVEN LESS.
STARTING AT 14 YEARS OF AGE, HE BEGAN CRAFTING HIS TALENT IN WEST LONDON AROUND THE LIKES OF DYNASTY AND ARSENISTS ARMY. A YEAR LATER, AT JUST 15, CRAIZ WAS TEARING APART CARNIVAL STAGES AND VARIOUS OTHER EVENTS WITH HIS CLEVER, CONTENTED BARZ AND RAPID, BOUNCY FLOWS.IN 2.0.0.4. CRAIZ MOVED BACK TO MANNY, BUT DECIDED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THE GAME TO CONCENTRATE ON OTHER THINGS. A REVAMPED CRAIZ CRASHED BACK ONTO THE SCENE IN LATE 2.0.0.5, WITH A NEW, MORE AGGRESSIVE FLOW, AND VARIED BARS, YET THIS PREMATURE RETURN WAS SHORT LIVED, AS FOOTBALL COMMITMENTS TOOK PREFERENCE.
HOWEVER, MID 2.0.0.6, SAW THINGS FINALLY COMING TOGETHER FOR THE 19 YEAR OLD. BOASTING A MIXTURE OF HIS OLD AND NEW FLOWS, AND CONTENTED YET WITTY BARZ HEARD RARELY ANYWHERE ELSE. THIS LEAD TO THE RELEASE OF THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED MIX CD, "CRAIZ O'CLOCK". SELLING COPIES RISING INTO TREBBLE FIGURES IN ITS 1ST 48 HOURS, ALL COPIES WERE SOLD WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF ITS RELEASE...!2006 ALSO SAW CRAIZ DECIDIE TO LEAVE THE (ORIGINAL) M19 CREW (WHICH HAD RECENTLY REFORMED INCLUDING A POOL OF FRESH TALENTED ARTISTS FROM VOCALISTS TO PRODUCERS) AND DO WHAT HE HAD ALWAYS FELT NATURAL TO HIM, GO IT ALONE. HOWEVER, THIS IDEA WAS SWIFTLY CHANGED WHEN THE PROSPECT OF TEAMING UP WITH CO MIXTAPE ARTIST, $HAWTY, AROSE. THEIR UNDENYABLE MUSICAL CHEMISTRY, WHICH REDIATES THROUGH HITS SUCH AS THE SMASH HIT "CIRCLES" AND THE THOUGHT PROVOKING "CONSCIOUS CONCEPTS", MEANT THAT FAILURE TO BECOME A MUSICAL COAILLITION, WHILST STILL PERSUING THEIR INDIVIDUAL MUSICAL AMBITIONS, WOULD BE A WASTED OPPORTUNITY. CURRENTLY, THE NEW TEAM ARE HARD AT WORK ON A NUMBER OF TRACKS, SOME OF WHICH ARE ALREADY HAILED AS HITS, AND THEY 'RE STILL ON PAPER! CIRCLES HAS ALSO BEEN RE-RECORDED FOR AIR PLAY ON ONE OF MANCHESTER'S BIGGEST RADIO STATIONS "KEY 103". A VIDEO HAS ALSO BEEN SHOT AND LOOKS SET FOR COMMERCIAL PLAY IN EARLY 2008.
