From the shadows of hardship to the spotlight of independent hip-hop, KiD CROOK is an Australian rapper who’s steadily carving his name into the global rap scene. Hailing from Perth, WA, KiD CROOK brings more than just bars to the table—he delivers raw truth, emotional depth, and unapologetic storytelling that resonates deeply with anyone who’s faced battles with the streets, addiction, mental health, or incarceration.

The Birth of KiD CROOK: A Name with a Story

The name “KiD CROOK” isn’t just a moniker—it’s a reflection of a life lived on the edge from an early age. His stage name stems from his younger years spent navigating crime and chaos, before music became his redemption. Influenced heavily by legends like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Twista, and Tech N9ne, KiD CROOK developed a lyrical style that blends double/triple-time flows, hard-hitting wordplay, and emotional transparency—a rare combination that makes him impossible to ignore.

Music as Therapy, Music as Connection

For KiD CROOK, music isn’t just a career—it’s a lifeline. It became his personal outlet through the darkest moments of his life, and today, it serves as a tool to connect with others who share similar battles. He’s been vocal about his struggles with mental health, drug and alcohol abuse, and incarceration, using these experiences as fuel to create impactful records that speak to the soul.

His most recent single, “Save Me”, released during Mental Health Awareness Month and Men’s Mental Health Month, stands as a testament to his ongoing mission: using music not just to survive, but to inspire others to keep going.

Rising Through the Ranks: Recent Releases & Collaborations

In 2025, KiD CROOK dropped his debut single and unofficial music video titled “Menace”, featuring fellow rapper Diggy Dialekt, setting the tone for what fans can expect from his artistry. He also released his first major project, “tha Bad Guy EP”, in April—an unapologetic, emotionally charged body of work that showcases his lyrical finesse and life-inspired storytelling.

Another track gaining traction is “MEvsME”, which has been receiving worldwide praise and airplay, including a Friday night rotation on 99.7 Da Heat Miami’s New Music Friday hosted by DJ Wes Wil.

His standout collaboration with Seuss Mace on “Talkinat Talk” further established him as an artist unafraid to spar lyrically and push boundaries. And while he’s already made waves with these tracks, fans are buzzing about potential upcoming collaborations—most notably, rumors surrounding a project with Horseshoe Gang, suggesting big things are on the horizon.

Independent and Unstoppable

KiD CROOK officially adopted his artist name in 2021, but his roots in music go back years earlier, despite interruptions due to incarceration. His official rap career began in 2017, slowly building momentum through underground releases and collaborations. Today, he remains independent, using that creative freedom to push raw, unfiltered content with purpose.

With every bar he spits, KiD CROOK brings listeners into his world—pain and all. His music is more than entertainment; it’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever felt broken but kept pushing forward. His journey is a reminder that even from the darkest places, greatness can rise.
