His lyrics often speak of learning from mistakes and growing from trauma. He talks openly about his experiences and says he wants listeners not to glorify them but to learn from them through his lessons. “I really don’t want people paying attention to the wrong actions and focusing on the wrong parts. Instead, I want them learning from my experiences,” he said. He hopes his in uence will spread beyond his lyrics. When asked if he’s had any involvement in recent protests surrounding police brutality and racial injustice, Krash said he’s been taking a di erent approach to inciting reform. “If I can reach the minds and hearts of the young Black audience, I can help them in a whole di erent way,” he said. “I want to make neighborhoods better.”The 30-year-old often volunteers at after-school programs to mentor young students recently released from prison. “That’s what success means to me. That’s how I want my music to work.”
