Emerging from the land down under, KiD CROOK is a name that’s been quietly shaping the Australian rap scene for over two decades. With a career spanning 20 years, this seasoned artist isn’t just a rapper — he’s a storyteller, a creator, and a proud independent force. His journey started 17 years ago with a humble but impactful first official release, “Wut I Do,” a collaboration with his brother that still echoes in the underground corners of YouTube.
KiD CROOK’s music is a rich blend of influences, drawing inspiration from iconic fast-rappers and lyrical masters like Twista, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Tech N9ne, and King Iso. His style blends smooth rap flows with the raw storytelling of hip-hop, all while adding his unique Australian flavor. Over the years, he’s collaborated with talents like Seuss Mace on a track and linked with local stars such as Diggy Dialekt and Universal. He’s even shared the stage with the legendary Snak The Ripper — proving his versatility, hustle, and reach.
Independence is the core of KiD CROOK’s ethos. Though open to deals, he values the freedom to control his art and vision, writing his own lyrics and crafting his own music video concepts. Supported by the streets, his close-knit circle of friends, family, and especially his wife and kids, KiD CROOK channels real-life experiences into every track.
Currently, he’s gearing up for two major projects — a full 10-track album called Carte Blanche and a shorter EP titled Dead Recordz. Fans can already vibe to his latest release, the tha Bad Guy EP, with new music dropping in about two months. Dreaming big, KiD CROOK aims to perform internationally, with Chile topping his list of dream tour destinations, and hopes to hit the road alongside his idol Tech N9ne someday.
KiD CROOK’s production process is hands-on, arranging most of his beats himself, with the mixing and mastering magic handled by Daunt on the Beat at Daunt Studios. In five years, he sees himself married and living fully off his music — a goal fueled by passion, grit, and years of relentless dedication.
