[edit] Biography
A Native of Alexandria, VA [1] Krohme (often incorrectly listed as "Khrome") became interested in music at an early age. From playing classical instruments to mixing records on his mother’s turntable, he developed an ear for music. Utilizing his own diverse musical interests, which included hip-hop, soul, rock, heavy metal and classical, he began sampling records to develop a unique musical library that he extended to local artists and, eventually, unsigned artists along the east coast.
It wasn’t until [2]2004 that Krohme began sending beat CDs off to record labels. Disappointed with a lack of response, he began reaching out to various artists and labels via the internet. He got in touch with GZA’s DJ and was able to get his music in the hands of the legendary MC as well as generate interest from other MC’s.
His first big break came when Hell Razah of Black Market Militia/Sunz of Man[3] asked Krohme to produce a track for his upcoming solo album, working under a tight deadline. The resulting track was well-received and resulted in Hell-Razah requesting additional tracks.
Krohme started Godsendant Music in February 2005 [4]and just released the first album through the label and his solo album, with guest appearances from Royce Da 5’9, MC Serch, Agallah, C-Rayz Walz, Hell-Razah, Chace Infinite, Triple Seis and more. The album has done well as an independent release selling 1000 copies in it’s first week.
He is currently working on releasing his South of Heaven album which will feature Ras Kass, Kool G Rap, Ill Bill, Chino XL, Agallah, C-Rayz Walz, Hell Razah, Cappadonna, Killah Priest and additional artists. He is also working on albums for the several artists under Godsendant Music.
His music can be found on upcoming releases from Obie Trice, Ras Kass, Ill Bill, Killah Priest, Talib Kweli, MF Grimm, Shyheim, Shade Shiest, Hell Razah, Killa Sin, C-Rayz Walz, Timbo King, Outerspace, Mr. S.O.S., Motion Man, Leathafase, Chico, Strong Arm Steady, Boom Bap Project, Magestik Legend, Goretex, Mykill Myers, Jay 211, T-Flame and Young Famous[5]. He recently produced the Ras Kass track – Hush Little Baby, the infamous diss towards The Game [6] and Awaiting the Hour, with Ill Bill featuring Killah Priest[7].
He is also working on releasing the first album from down tempo project Tracing Happiness, whose upcoming album, features vocals from the lead singers of Everclear, The Echo Division, Stabilo and others[8].
He has recently begun work with new Godsendant Music Artist, Atari Blitzkrieg who is slated to release his EP, Fantastic Saturday Celebrity Hour,, March 2008 [9]. With guest appearances from Vast Aire, Breez Evahflowin, Wildchild, LMNO and Rack-Lo, with Krohme producing all tracks.
