Marlon Craft

[1] After high school, Craft attended American University in Washington, D.C. where he designed his own major, Urban Education and Social Justice.

[2] After college, Craft moved back to Manhattan Plaza and began making freestyle videos and posting them to YouTube.

[16] In November 2018, he was featured on the Masta Ace and Marco Polo album, A Breukelen Story, on the track "Wanna Be".

The song and its accompanying music video depicted Craft taking on three roles: a racist white police officer, a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and a black man serving prison time for an armed robbery.

[21] The song served as the lead single to his debut studio album, Funhouse Mirror, which was released later that month by Same Plate and Sony.

The album featured guest appearances from Dizzy Wright, Nyck Caution, Ricky Motion, and Evan Crommett.

The following month, he held a listening party at The Halal Guys food carts on 53rd Street in Manhattan.

[25] In 2020 Craft left his record deal with Same Plate Entertainment/Sony Music and went back fully independent, launching The Center - an exclusive online subscription community of supporters.

For $7 a month, fans can directly fund the creation of Craft's content, and in return receive exclusive access in the forms of hidden songs, weekly Zoom sessions, and more.
