Friday Fire Cypher: Marlon Craft sets the Cypher off | Sway's Universe 

appreciate everyone showin' love and sway for the platform. i'll never forget my first time on sway. follow me if you like what you hear i got lots of music and lots on the way. love

"You say you're neutral, but it's math so even the equal sign is part of the problem." Ufff BARS

"Tryin' ta make um watch the places they get information, cause the media says, "jump!" and they all get in formation" - dope shit

Went to college with Marlon in DC and chilled with him a few times (not gonna claim we’re best friends or anything lol) but he’s a SUPER nice, down to earth, and extremely genuine person. I’m so glad to see him succeed like this and the only way from here is up

This dude is part of the reason why hiphop ain’t dead but well and thriving. Respect the bars and respect the craft.

"But it's math homie, even the equal sign is part of the problem." Woah. 💥💥💥

"wrote a lotta college papers/I know filler when I hear it, dog" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

When conscious rap takes precedence over attention seeking, faith in humanity is restored. Cheers from London Marlon

I love his style. In a world full of sheep, no one with the pressure of shepard's. Where apathy is cool, we run from the pressure of effort!

That Horcrux line. I always appreciate a Harry Potter reference lol.

8:30 dude starts spitting your ALL welcome!!!!!!!

"where apathy is cool shit we run from the pressure of effort" this dudes a genuine lyricist. i hope they don't ruin him into silence with gift cards

“People hiding in material things like horcrux’s” That boy good..🔥🔥

Marlon Craft knows Real Hip Hop and he can spit.

"People hiding in material things like horcruxes" JFC that shit was fire.

No matter how many more I listen to, this is still the best ever performance on Sway

You can tell he been working on his skills for years I appreciate his hard work an research on the art says a lot about his character 💯🔥🔥

"Even the equal sign part of the problem." Straight up FIRRRREEE🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒🔥🔥🔥

"If that's bars I'm an industrial prison complex" jeez

"People hiding in material things like horcruxes" BOIIIIIIII

First time hearing Marlon, dude went off!

Straight outta Hell's Kitchen, so it's only right that he spits FLAMES.

He said his dad is a jazz musician, that jazz solo in "gang shit" in that last verse must of been inspired by him.. This guy is special I hope he blows up.

Super huge fan of Marlon Craft so happy to finally see him on Sway! He deserves it, can’t wait to see him live some day ❤️❤️😁😁

Finally! A rapper spitting hard NY bars without using niggah as a filler in every line. Respect to M. Craft you got skills homie.

He is ridiculously intelligent, everything he was talking about goes over most people's heads. Respectttttttt

Much love! Dude throwed bars out the window!

First came across dude on Spotify. Had me vibing from the start with that Braniacs joint. You got a fan right hea homie.

I'm 41 years old. Been listening to hip hop since I was 6. I've seen soooooo many M.C's come and go. I can say one thing to you young man. Don't burn any bridges and you'll be just fine. You have undeniable talent. You will last in the business if you stay true. Respect the culture and you will one day be a legend

Without a doubt, one of the realest fucking rhymes I've heard on Sway. That's pure NY spirit

I support of sway bringing real people to the show no matter how big of the upcoming artist they are or not just watching these people being real with DE own selves it's nice

If that's bars then I'm Prison Industrial Complex.. 🔥 Need to hear more here I go down the Marlon Craft wormhole and I can't wait..props young man

“People hiding in material things like horcruxes.” Only my fellow Harry Potter fans caught that one @9:39 🔥

He's a blessing

Wow your guys reaction was pretty soft considering this dude just destroyed a weird ass beat and kept a nice flow going when the beat was cut off

Don't know why they cut off the beat so soon... he was killing it. I know when i start freestyling i get locked in about 3mins in and after that i get stuck in the flow state lol this dude would've done the same thing if they gave him like at least 10mins easily. Keep killing it Marlon.

Love it dude killed it!!!!

Whooooooooo! That was f#c!

That beat drop god damn Black Milk

This verse had deep lines

Marlon gives me chills EVERYTIME

Bout time Sway got em on. LES GOOO CRAAAAFT !!!

Mr Craft got sum Bars and the beat was Dope....he did his thing ....that's what's up .....Death to Mumble rap. ..

I wrote a lot of college papers I know filler when I hear it

Friends is so good. My favorite craft song

this kid has bars. all he needs is confidence and swag...
