I'm Cryptic One, a Brooklyn-based producer/rapper. With a career spanning over three decades, I'm recognized for my work with Atoms Family and collaborations with hip-hop icons like MF DOOM, Aesop Rock, El-P, and Cannibal Ox.
My contributions to the legendary Lloyd Banks' 2022 LP "The Course of the Inevitable 2" earned me a coveted Billboard plaque. Additionally i contributed to the iconic Cannibal Ox album "The Cold Vein" which recently found a spot on Rolling Stone's esteemed list of "The 200 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time."
My music is characterized by cinematic textures, chaotic drums, and cleverly crafted lyrics that often contain social commentary and multiple meanings.
