Following college, Craft returned home to New York where he began posting freestyles on YouTube. Then in March of 2015, he released his first project entitled Pieces. The next year, Craft dropped a pair of EPs: So, What Are You Doing? and he looked like nothing.

The second EP contained the single Workin’ and a subsequent short film titled after the project.

Craft made waves in 2017 with his second mixtape, The Tunnel’s End, which made it to number two on the iTunes Hip Hop chart behind Jay-Z’s 4:44. After opening for Dizzy Wright in 2018, Craft released a collection of EPs titled A Dollar in Quarters, 25c, 50c, and 75c.

His 2019 single Gang Shit and its coinciding music video received a lot of attention as the rapper played a racist white police officer, a Ku Klux Klan member, and a black man serving prison time for an armed robbery.
