Critch was born Jason Cole Critchlow on February 25, 1998, in Brooklyn, New York. His mother is Trinidadian while his father is of British-Guyanese descent. Critch first got introduced to hip hop by his older brother who frequently rapped in front of him.

The rapper spent time growing up in two different sections of the borough. First, Clinton Hill, located in north-central Brooklyn and considered a residential neighborhood. Also, Canarsie, placed in the southeastern part of the city. Critch describes the area as “not nice”, but also ethnically diverse.

He grew up listening to rappers like Fabolous and Lil Wayne. Critch began dipping his toes in making music when he was in middle school, and he was spitting full time by the end of his teenage years.

Critch attended The Beacon School, a college-preparatory institution located within the Hell’s Kitchen area of Manhattan. There, he played basketball and linked up with producer Laron Wages who he’d create music with.
