CATASTROPHiC CRiMEAPPLE

Anything that belongs on the market will make an impact if the consumer deems it effective. Without fans and people who buy into the program, quality music does not receive the recognition it deserves. The groundwork must be laid with consistent tracks that exceed the standard and add a new slice of life. Once the original style is formulated, most true lyricists find their niche with a specially chosen producer. Most of the time, the producer goes through his rhythms and smoothly synchronizes in conjunction with the flows and cadences that the artist is accustomed to. With in house production, lyrical proficiency and an emerging fan base, this artist is elevating to mountainous heights. Out to prove that not just anyone can rise to this level, Crimeapple has patiently waited his turn to leave a lasting impact in the form of vivacious lyrical content.

East Coast Resurgence

Crimeapple, a rugged wordsmith, reigns from Hackensack, New Jersey. One of the first shows he performed was for Retchy P right up the road in Teaneck. His record affiliation with Tuff Kong Records keeps him distributing bodies of work that expand, stretch and advance the different boundaries of hip-hop. Around 2010, Crimeapple began to put out music that did not receive a lot of traction. After additional contemplation, he decided that he wanted to transform his situation from regular to something extraordinary. He released four mixtapes within a span of two months to nourish a fan base that is stealthily blooming in number.

Crimeapple has kept it very organic and released a large portion of his music with Buck Dudley. Their collaboration on the project, “Metralletta” is simply phenomenal. The title of the mixtape is based on a battle rap nickname that Crimeapple received in high school. Together, their ability to perfectly piece the process in great detail is unmatched. It is easy to tell that their rituals and energies are aligned in a manner that allows for genuine bonding and creation of revitalizing musical content. Their albums always arrive in complete harmony and deliver sounds that exude thought-provoking sentiments which evoke feelings of rejuvenation and deep-rooted reflection.The critical characteristic that distinguishes Crimeapple is the fact that he is a pure cunning linguist. He stands alone and makes blatantly known what he represents and the type of vernacular that he is privvy to inflicting upon the beat. The brand of hip-hop that he steadily dishes out is intellectually grimey rap. His smooth delivery of obscure references and aggressive braggadocio completes the objective every time around. He checks all boxes in terms of he can rhyme for a long period of time and cover dense subject matter by making sure every line hits emphatically hard. These types of artists don’t surface frequently, and if you have been paying any attention they are few and far between.


Sidebar: In a saturated mumble rap culture, where the human has trouble connecting with their prefrontal cortex to develop an original thought, Crimeapple has found a formula to keep the spirit of individual flavor and complexity alive and well for everyone to enjoy.


One of the first moments that Crimeapple realized he would invest all his chips in the music game was at Statik Selektah’s release party. After choppin’ it up at the table with Statik (legendary Beast Coast producer) the two exchanged information but did not hear response from Selektah’s camp initially. Fast forward about six years and Crimeapple decided to reach out to Statik via Direct message on the off chance that he remembered their encounter. The artist prefaced the message by mentioning their prior experience in person and sent the DJ footage of his most recent performance. Statik recalled all of the events entirely and responded immediately for Crimeapple to send him the music he had been working on. With a consistent output of music and performances, the artist was clearly prepared for this opportunity. The two would reconnect at a later time for an in studio collaboration.
