What to expect

Expect to be wowed and amazed by this show stopping band. If you're looking for floss hop or bling rap this is not the band for you. No genre of music is safe. From the rawness of Lady Moet Beast, the viscous tongue of D.C. Ty The Monster, the smooth sounds of Mr. Irvan Scott, or the cool calm and collective creativity of Antonio The Prospect, the ears won't believe what the eyes just saw. The energy is electrifing! This is definitely different from any band you have ever heard from the nations capital. If thought there was no music scene in Washington, D.C. Get prepared to witness the crankage of the Cruddy Crankerz

About

What do you do when you have 2 artists that have over 7 albums of music? You create a band to play all of it. Draztick Measurez Recordz/ Beast & Monster Ink haa been making classics for more than 2 decades.

The creators of "Crudd Rock", Lady Moet Beast & D.C. Ty The Monster formed The Cruddy Crankerz in July of 2012. Along with Lady Moet Beast and D.C. Ty The Monster or the Cruddnamic Duo on lead and bass who just so happens to be the lead vocals as well. No genre is safe from the wrath of this crankage! This band consists of individual artists with a combined experience of over 20 years. We decided to unite and make beautiful music together. Founded by Beast & Monster Ink, The Cruddy Crankerz are an alternative band that plays rock, rap, r&b, blues, metal, spoken word and (link hidden) you have never heard Crudd Rock or Gutta Blues before, allow me to welcome you to the land of Cruddynesia! We also do videos and other media. Not to mention this band features other indie artists and don't be surprised if the offspring of this duo take over the show.
