Who’s Harry Krum? He is a Dallas-born Lonely Superstar of freestyling and crazy dope lyrics that will stun even the most serious of emcees and fans alike. Playdough was a battle rapper, freestyle emcee and a feature emcee before he took flight with his first solo venture “Loney SuperStar” in 2002.

Harry Krum, goldfinger, the golden touch, and I don’t think other emcees are holdin’ much

He has an old school delivery, rides on boombap tracks, and teams up with a bevy of emcees that would make any artist envy. It’s because he’s earned it. Krum works hard, plays hard, raps hard, and tours hard. Of late he has teamed up with DJ Sean P (Whom I’d consider to be one of the best producers right now) on a series of “Gold” related releases. Check out “Gold Tips” and “We Buy Gold” but to really understand this man’s artistry, I would recommend you check out his’s duo series Writer Dye & Writer Dye: Deux or Die. Both are concept albums in which Playdough takes lyrics from other bands and genres (Rock, Folk, Pop) and turns them into songs; some are word for word, others served as inspiration, but all are very dope. You’ll also get a sampling of some guest artists that you’ll hear a lot of on Off Road Hip Hop (Sivon, Othello, Sev Statik, Adeem, Sean P, and Theory Hazit)

“I am not an angel but I brought a couple with me
I can’t see them with my human eyes but let’s just put this simply
I see them in my darkness
Feel them when my heart hits
See them in my flaws
Hear them in my song
And they’ve been there all along (All along)”

Earlier in 2016, Playdough flipped his emcee name to his last name KRUM and released his first album under the new moniker with guest producer Rob Viktum ; the project is called “Bare Knuckle Gospel” and samples early gospel songs. Check it out and dig through his back catalog, there is some amazing stuff in there, and shoot him a note, he’ll add you to his list of Road Dogs! (There’s a reason I choose him to emcee the Off Road Hip Hop theme song!”
