Stevie Crooks

Stevie Crooks, was born in Los Angeles, CA . Having been raised by his grandmother who resided in Compton, Stevie quickly adapted himself to the realities of the world around him. It was in 1994, while countless, now quintessential hip-hop albums were released (including: Nas’ Illmatic, Wu-Tang Clan’s 36 Chambers, Biggie’s Ready to Die and Common’s Ressurection) at the age of eight that Crooks was formerly introduced to hip-hop. Immediately drawn to the sound, Crooks began experimenting with writing his own music and developing his own sound as a hip-hop artist. years later, Crooks’ family moved from crowded Los Angeles county to the Inland Empire . Unable to snuff his growing love for not only hip-hop music but the hip-hop culture as a whole, he strived to achieve his dreams no matter where his life took him. Crooks began to mold himself into a true MC with unparalleled work ethic and determination. — his continual drive to produce innovative, inspiring music has yet to escape him. He is the voice of hip-hop and he will continue to tell the stories of those who have triumphed and failed. He will continue to tell the stories not only of his own life but of those who are lacking the words to tell their own. The soul of Crooks’ music is without borders and without limits.
