My Story
Hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, Crutch is a Hip-Hop artist driven by a passion to uplift, motivate, and connect with his listeners. His music blends raw honesty with soulful lyricism, offering an introspective look into the complexities of life, love, and faith.
In July 2024, Crutch dropped his second solo studio album, Doctrines from the Darkness: The Prelude—a deeply personal and conversational project that explores themes like mental health, the challenges of romantic relationships, and his evolving relationship with a Higher Power.
Crutch's journey with music began at just thirteen years old, and by fifteen he was already recording tracks and sharing them with classmates and a growing online audience. In October 2018, he made his official debut on digital streaming platforms with his first solo release, Ashes 2 Ashes, featuring Nasir Ali and Enoch Lenoir. That release marked the beginning of a string of impactful EPs, including Still in Limbo, On the Way Up, and The Other Side. In November 2020, Crutch released his first full-length studio album, New-Tron.
Since then, Crutch has remained consistent and creative. In early 2024, he teamed up with frequent collaborator Enoch Lenoir for When We Grow Up, a joint studio album reflecting on personal growth and the trials of adulthood. Later that same year, he followed up with Doctrines from the Darkness: The Prelude, further cementing his place as a thoughtful and versatile voice in Hip-Hop.
Crutch is an artist with purpose—using his platform to encourage resilience, self-love, and hope in a world that can often feel overwhelming. Through his music, he paints vivid pictures of life in all its dimensions: the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful. His message is simple but powerful—no matter what you're facing, it will be okay. In fact, it might just turn out better than you ever imagined.
