Billboard Canada LIVE @ NXNE presents King Cruff

Billboard Canada LIVE @ NXNE presents King Cruff with special guests Nylo Carter, Kalisway, and Charmaine.


Jamaican-raised, Toronto-based MC King Cruff (Solomon Marley-Spence) was born with the talents of songwriting and performance in his blood. The Tuff Gong/Universal Music Canada-signed artist sees his songs as think pieces set to ‘punky’ rhythms. Drawing on his own audio engineering background, the versatile King Cruff fuses genres across the diaspora including hip-hop, Afrobeats, dancehall and reggae into his original ‘punky’ sound. An introspective storyteller, King Cruff explores the juxtapositions of human behaviour with energizing, innovative sounds that uplift and inspire for an ear-bending amalgam of Black musical styles.
