Rising south-London producer, engineer, MC & creative vanguard Crafty 893 returns with his new project ‘Boot It’, an eleven-track heater that expands the parameters of Crafty’s musical experimentation. ‘Boot It’ demonstrates Crafty’s musical evolution and versatility, moving away from the straight-up grime sound on his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Smart Dumb’, which featured legends in the scene such as Big Zuu, Sir Spyro and Manga Saint Hilaire, and the beat-style production on concept album ‘Weapon X’. Instead, the album effortlessly and organically switches it up between a palette of UK sounds such as Rap, Trap, Drill and Afro-Swing with Crafty MCing, singing and sometimes even amalgamating the two in a unique way, all while staying true to Crafty’s foundational grime roots. ‘Boot It’ follows Crafty’s instrumental concept LP ‘Weapon X’ and debut album ‘Smart Dumb’, which won over Mixtape Madness, GRM Daily, Sir Spyro and Grime Shutdown. Since the release of his debut project on Tru Thoughts “Induction EP”, Crafty has been on a non-stop trajectory; executively producing Big Zuu’s debut album ‘Navigate’; performing alongside JME at Maiden Voyage festival as part of his Grime MC FM tour; producing ads for giants such as Adidas x Jacamo and Pret a Manger; as well as being an in-demand producer for a whole host of MCs, including Fluffy on ‘Besame’. As Crafty perfectly summarises: “Crafty 893 is a genre - no one tells me what to do, versatility is my best ability”.
