Krumb Snatcha'

Krumb Snatcha most notably known for being the first Independent Artist to receive the prestigious “Hip Hop Quotable” for his legendary verse on the Gangstarr’s “Moment Of Truth” Album. This propelled him in the spotlight to release the legendary “Closer To God” produced by pioneer Dj PREMIER, which was actually a testimony to Krumb being shot numerous times in a pool hall brawl in his younger years. With a slew of guest appearances on albums like Teflon, Guru of Gangstarr, Pete Rock, Ed OG, Termanology, Beatminerz etc. As well as an appearance on the Oscar Award winning movie “TRAINING DAY” soundtrack which brought Krumb international recognition, Krumb has remained active quietly under the radar.


With his mix tape release entitled “You’ll See” hosted by DJ GREEN LANTERN late last year it has positioned Krumb to release his 5th Album entitled “Hidden Scriptures” which he personally describes as his “Testimony” to the fans and music industry as well, on his whereabouts and current mind frame since last release. This album is sure to turn a lot of heads with its social content, and extraordinary production from producers like Pete Rock, Large Professor, Beatminerz, Statik Selektah and 3 time D.M..C champion Dj Ace. With 20 tracks from the self proclaimed “RAP MESSIAH” this album is a must buy for Krumb Snatcha fans and Hip Hop heads alike!!!
