About Marlon Craft:
Marlon Craft is a hip-hop artist from New York's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. Born into the historic Manhattan Plaza, son of a jazz musician, Craft's rise is defined by musical variance and New York realism. Fitting hard-hitting social commentary into a diverse set of sounds, Craft's voice speaks to substance on era-blending instrumentation and beats.
It's this contemporary relevance paired with a deep respect for the history and culture of hip-hop (and its web of influences,) that has attracted his worldwide fan-base. In early 2018, Craft hit the road as direct support for Dizzy Wright across a nationwide tour. With sold-out shows under his belt, his upcoming headline show and a 2018 EP series in the can, Craft's ascendance is well on its way.
