3T Krush looks to set himself apart
Dancehall artiste 3T Krush believes that he should be on everyone’s radar and is hoping to ‘crush’ his rivals with his lyrics and good looks.
“The girls dem love mi swag,” said the confident artiste, whose given name is Tyrone Smith. He has solidified a decent underground following in areas such as Manchester, Clarendon and upper St Andrew with his unique brand of trap dancehall.
“My label is called Trap Hall Music, but I wouldn’t put myself in a category. Mi just a do music overall, R&B, dancehall, rap. I know the rhythm would point to a particular brand, trap dancehall, but mi jus’ go with the vibes that the music gives me, and ah trap hall my ting de,” he said.
3T Krush was inspired by his older brother, recording artiste Blacksan, to get involved in dancehall music. When he left high school, he recorded his first single, Benz Truck, a collaboration with Blacksan which he produced for his own label. On the strength of that single, he got gigs on shows such as Up to the Line and other small events at high schools in St Catherine.
He eventually shot a video for the single. He followed up that effort with the get-money anthem, Top Dolla, which features visuals with popular comedian Cuz.
