The Pal's X King Cruff Episode 223
An introspective storyteller, UMC/Tuff Gong artist King Cruff explores the juxtapositions of human behaviour with energizing, innovative sounds that uplift and inspire for an ear-bending amalgam of Black musical styles. “I’m a big fan of songs that have one vibe but the lyrics tell a different story,” shares Cruff. Drawing on his own audio engineering background, he fuses genres across the diaspora including hip-hop, Afrobeats, dancehall and reggae into his original ‘punky’ sound.
