Marlon Craft: Jazz Musician in New York

About Marlon Craft

Marlon Craft is a Manhattan-based rapper and songwriter whose work often carries the cadence of a bandleader, even when the production is spare. After a run of self-released EPs and mixtapes, he issued his first full-length album, *Funhouse Mirror*, in 2019, sharpening a style built on close observation and direct address. In New York City he has brought that approach to stages like Nublu, including sets billed as Marlon Craft with Live Band. His performances tend to favor lyrical clarity over spectacle.
