Personally, I’ve been following the long and exciting journey of Marlon Craft for several years. The NY based rapper has evolved from throwing up classic hip-hop remixes on Facebook and YouTube into an artist capable of offering some of hottest bars in hip-hop on an original and refreshing new album. Funhouse Mirror, Craft’s debut album, contains a plethora of impressive flows, lyrics and production and includes features from Nyck Caution, Dizzy Wright and more. Craft’s effortless delivery, intricate rhythms and multiple cadences are proof that the young emcee is more than capable of running with the best.
Already acknowledged as one of the strongest lyricists in New York, Marlon Craft is destined for greatness with this one.
