Crafty is hailed by DJ Mag as one of the faces of a new wave, "bringing grime back to the forefront". With heavy involvement across the scene, he's supported AJ Tracey on tour, performed on Behind Barz - Link Up TV, Handle Bars 360 and a blistering Rinse FM session alongside JME (hosted by Oblig).
His album Boot It showcases his multifaceted talent, handling everything from writing and MCing to production, mixing, and creative direction. This LP followed his instrumental album Weapon X and debut album Smart Dumb, supported by GRM Daily, Mixtape Madness and Complex UK.
Since his debut with the Induction EP on Tru Thoughts, South-London-based Crafty 893 has been on a rapid rise, championed by the likes of Sir Spyro and DJ Target on BBC 1Xtra. His producing credits include soundtracks for Big Zuu’s Breakfast Show and Big Zuu’s Big Eats on Dave (the latter winning two BAFTAS), Big Zuu’s debut album Navigate, Big Zuu and Capo Lee’s album Signed & Delivered and the reggaeton track Besame by Fluffy. He’s performed with JME on his Grime MC FM tour and created adverts for Adidas x Jacamo and Pret a Manger.
As well as Big Zuu, Manga Saint Hilare and Sir Spyro, Crafty has collaborated with Miraa May, Blaze YL and Kish!, made appearances on Travs Presents, featured on NTS, Rinse FM and collaborative events with Clash Magazine and Rinse FM x Oblig’s DaMetalMessiah.
