At just 22, the Singleton rapper known as Crofty is already carving a unique path in the hip-hop world, with his latest record “That’s Us” being a testament to his tumultuous journey and artistic evolution.
A Musical Legacy
Born into a musical household, Crofty was no stranger to the stage and sounds from a young age. His father’s rock band, “No Quarter,” was a regular part of his childhood, instilling in him a deep appreciation for music. However, it was the raw energy and storytelling of American hip hop artists like Biggie Smalls, 50 Cent, and Big L that truly captivated him, igniting a burning passion for the genre.
The Turn to Hip Hop
Crofty’s love for hip hop went beyond mere fandom. He started crafting his own lyrics, drawing inspiration from his life experiences and the sounds he grew up with. His music is a blend of his father’s rock roots and the gritty, honest lyricism of hip hop, creating a sound that’s uniquely his.
Dark Paths and Second Chances for Crofty
However, Crofty’s journey wasn’t without its hardships. As a teenager, he found himself making questionable choices, getting involved in drugs – both using and selling. This dark period of his life was marked by close calls and life-threatening situations, including a near-death experience that became a pivotal moment for him. It was this brush with mortality that made him reassess his life’s direction.
Today, Crofty’s music is not just about beats and rhymes. It’s a narrative of overcoming adversity, a testament to the power of resilience. His latest hit, “That’s Us,” is a vibrant mix of lyrical prowess and an homage to the party and rebel lifestyle. Yet, it carries an underlying message of positivity and the importance of making the right choices.
“That’s Us” – A Reflection of Life

The track is a mix of high-energy beats and introspective lyrics, showcasing his ability to balance party anthems with meaningful storytelling.
The music video for “That’s Us” encapsulates Crofty’s current life philosophy. Set in high-rise condos, it features scenes of Crofty and his friends living it up, surrounded by a haze of success and celebration. It’s a stark contrast to his past and a visual representation of his belief in living life to the fullest, responsibly.
Looking Ahead
