For the most part of my life I've been working towards the aim of acheiving a genuine record contract with a major label. However, with success, fortune and fame there comes a price. Are you willing to sell out for what you believe in? I'm a hard working artist, with a love for making real music. Currently unsigned and I'm just starting to build a bigger reputation than what I currently have..
Joe 90 of Radio Cabin says: "Krafty sent me two versions of his song with 3sixT called 'No Remorse' - one was censored and one was actually an explicit version. But the radio edit is still just out of this world. Just imagine eating your favourite chocolate. You know that orgasmic pleasure that you get? Listening to Krafty's music is like that, seriously. That is why 'Herne Bay @ Nite' is supporting Krafty all the way.
Kasper Black says: "Man, he's the realest, illest emcee there is out at the moment, doing his thing. Over 800 fans on his bebo band page and it's still rising! Every time I hear this kid? He's f**king bringing new fire to the mic. There's nothing this kid can't do."
Eddie Rath says: "When I first heard Krafty I was in my friends' living room and I was actually checking out my MySpace to see if I was making any sales. Then I got this message and it was Krafty, you know, he was saying 'whats up?'. Now, I'm not too clear on the first track that I heard by him, but I remember not finishing my Subway - and I always eat, man!
I could not believe the f*cking lyrics that this guy was saying. I was like 'F*cking hell.. Man, I gotta get in touch with this guy.' I'm fortunate to have come across a guy of this calibre, I mean this guy is really really talented, he's really skilled.
All I'll say is this.... If you are looking for a musician or a rapper with such passion and devotion to giving you the most amazing intricate lyrics, you need Krafty, man."
When asked about the official release date of their album "The Coalition", 3sixT responded on both his and Krafty's behalf by saying:
"Probably around June/July time. We still haven't finished it yet so we can't really confirm anything. We're working on songs, we've got a few songs that need finishing up, but it's sounding good. There's a track from the album that'll be released as the single and that's called 'Jump Up'. It features female singer Lucy Pearson so it will really appeal to a wider audience, rather than what we're normally doing. It'll be hot."
At the beginning of this year I received a number of record contract offers from major industry labels. Now, after all the years that I've been doing my thing, and striving to get to where I want to be, I found myself surprised and doubtful at myself for declining all offers. I figured that if I invest all of my own money and work into this music shit, then whatever benefits do occur, I'll own all of them ;)
Before I got these contracts I'd have signed anything. Now, after seeing what comes with the contracts and after seeking legal advice and speaking to my people, I see that I'm not ready to sign a contract.
So all you bitch ass haters that claim I'll never get signed or that I didn't get contract offers.. just know that it's up to me when I start going major.

In the works...
- THE COALITION -
Due to launch this summer, and in collaboration with 3sixT, 'THE COALITION' will be released independantly and also has some hot songs with other artists! It'll be available for digital download and limited hard copy purchase. Prices are likely to vary from £2 to £4.
- ONE MAN SHOW -
Officially on hold while I put my full focus on the project with 3sixT. It's difficult switching from different album themes which is why I'm taking a break from 'ONE MAN SHOW' until I feel confident enough to continue.
As for future collaborations? Hit me up. Jus 'cause I'm not working on 'OMS' I can still drop the odd 16 on your track/s!
