C.R.A.C.

C.R.A.C. (pronounced CRASS), and their debut release, "The Piece Talks LP," is a collaborative project from Ta'Raach and Blu, alongside a host of special guest contributors. As an acronym for Collect Respect Anna Check, the name and idea of C.R.A.C. is much more than a name. It is more so a way of life comprised by a movement of like-minded musicians, artists, producers, and documentarians for a structural change in previous stratifications of power and belief systems. It is a brand via the collective efforts of many, and their power and the ultimate Lovelution is manifested through their music.

Produced by Detroit's finest, Ta'Raach, the musical landscape is reminiscent to early Bomb Squad productions complimented by the 'left-field' humor and sensitivity similar to the work of Prince Paul for De La Soul. Both Ta'Raach and Blu share mic duties, and their chemistry is undeniable. Mainly recorded in just 7 days, the album is more like a musical and spiritual journey that listeners can feel they are a part of.

Many will be aware of Ta'Raach's previous work with the late-great Jay Dee, Platinum Pied Pipers, or his latest release, "The Fevers," and the same will go for fans of Blu's recent release w/ producer, Exile, "Below the Heavens." Regardless of their previous projects, C.R.A.C. is something new and fresh that offers a different and unique perspective to the masses.? It radiates a powerful energy and confidence that people will want to study, imitate, and initiate in their every day lives. It speaks to the majority, which lack self-esteem, and opens a path never treaded upon. As one entity, C.R.A.C. is here to stay and for those who aren't on-board, are already late.
