Episode Details

Yonkers born recording artist CritterMake, an unfiltered look at a life of extreme highs and devastating lows.  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.
