Biography

A native of Alexandria, VA [1] Krohme (often incorrectly listed as "Khrome") was born in 1980 to an African-American Father and a Mother of Spanish and German descent. He developed an ear for production via the eclectic music tastes of his parents and later through playing instruments in Elementary school. Using his own diverse musical interests, which included hip-hop, soul, rock, heavy metal and classical, he began sampling records to develop a unique production library that began in 1997 that he extended to unsigned artists in the DMV.

It wasn't until [2] 2005 that Krohme connected with his first major artist, Ras Kass via Jay 211, for "The Long Walk Home."

He made his first record label on Day by Day Entertainment with MF Grimm's American Hunger album which he produced 3 songs. MF Grimm also served as his manager during this time.

In 2007, Hell Razah of Black Market Militia/Sunz of Man[2] asked Krohme to produce tracks for his solo album, Renaissance Child for Nature Sounds, Nativity with Killah Priest and Lost Ark. He also worked on unreleased remixes for Los Pepes, Pt. 1 and Project Jazz.

Additionally, Krohme founded Godsendant Music (now Godsendant Collective) in February 2005 [1] and released the his first project, All Praises Due, with guest appearances from Royce da 5'9", MC Serch, Agallah, C-Rayz Walz, Hell-Razah, Chace Infinite, Triple Seis and more.

In between projects, he signed with Babygrande on Valentine's Day 2008 to release his 3-year project, The Beasts Released Volume 1: South of Heaven, which featured Kool G Rap, Sean Price, Chino XL, Agallah, C-Rayz Walz, Hell Razah, Psycho Les, Atari Blitzkrieg, Lord Jamar, Rapper Pooh, Cappadonna, Killah Priest and additional artists which was unfortunately never officially released.

He started working on a collaboration album with Hell-Razah in 2009 under the tentative titled "Krohme Razahs."[2] In 2006, he produced the Ras Kass track "Hush Little Baby," the infamous diss towards Game [2] and would later work with Game on the remix to the Dezert Eez track, Gunz Out.

In addition to his work with other artists, he works heavily with Godsendant Music Artist, Atari Blitzkrieg who has been featured as an URB Next 1000 and has worked with countless artists and producers since his addition to the roster.[3] These include Nick Wiz, Bronze Nazareth, Louis Logic, Roc C, Vast Aire and more.

Krohme was a member of the Wu-Tang affiliated groups, Lost Children of Babylon and Thug Angelz.
