CritterMake shares his incredible journey from being a sponsored professional skateboarder at age 13 skating alongside legends like Tony Hawk to his transition into the Yonkers rap scene. The conversation takes a sobering turn as he recounts being wrongfully accused of a crime at age 19, leading to a 21 year sentence in the New York State prison system. Discover how CritterMake used two decades behind bars to educate himself, find independence, and perfect his musical craft, creating a \"dystopia\" of his own through rhyming and discipline. We also dive into his latest music projects, including Memoirs of Destiny, and his clothing brand, Coltron. In this episode, we discuss: • Growing up on Warburton Avenue in Yonkers. • The \"Golden Era\" of 90s childhood and hip hop. • The reality of life in maximum security prisons like Attica and Green Haven. • How he survived a 21 year sentence and maintained his innocence. • The meaning behind the name \"CritterMake\". Connect with Critter Make: • Check out his albums: Snuggle Season, Memoirs of Destiny, and more. • Support the brand: Coltron. #CritterMake #YonkersRap #TalkAboutItWithFranjez #PrisonSurvival","meta_description":"Yonkers born recording artist CritterMake, an unfiltered look at a life of extreme highs and devastating lows.
