Maxo Kream uses his two-stepping flow to illustrate underworld stories over lurid and grimy soundscapes. Recruiting his friend Tyler, The Creator to supply one of his most evil beats to date, and to bless the track with his presence, Maxo shares “Cracc Era,” his new single.
“Cracc Era” finds both artists turning back the clock, as Tyler delivers the atonal synths and relentless bass that marked his horrorcore era, while Maxo tells tales from the trap: “Way before I did this rappin’ I was out here jackin’ n****s/I mean like jackin’ was my skill, jack your pounds and jack your pills/Catch you lackin’ by the hill, we jackin’ n***s, Jack & Jill,” he spits.
Backing up Big Persona, Tyler delivers his own manifesto, in a tongue-twisting 16: “N****, two-tone two door/Watchin’ Juno, you know/Who dem is when you see/N****s in them Unos,” intones Tyler. “Cracc Era” is the second collaboration between Maxo Kream and Tyler, The Creator, following “Big Persona” in 2021.
Stay tuned for much more from Maxo Kream, as he continues to perfect his personas and honor his late father in 2024.
