Marlon Craft - Loved ( 

" I bring you to a world designed to disenchant your brilliance, Riddle you with guilt because they can commod-ify innocence" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Who still vibing with that beautiful writing from this year 2023

dag son, im'a 50 year old geezer. Where have you been all my life? I've watched hiphop, the rap game and all forms of the culture blossom out of every borough in my NYC since my early dj days in the 80's and you sir...are one of the rare ones continuing to offer what this city does best... Mastery of the pen game. ❤✌

Rarely do you find emotional intelligence used in hip-hop today. It allows an MC to create authentic moments and Marlon Craft clearly does that. He should be proud of not only what he is creating but how he is creating it.

Had to PULL MY CAR OVER to feel this song. So glad I found your music, man, never stop

Cementing all the gaps that fatherhood can sometime provide, no ones fault. But this should be the future of parenting

My son is 2. I came back from Afghanistan and wasn't the same, diagnosed with PTSD for nearly a decade. My wife has stuck by me and now we have a beautiful little boy. The first verse is everything I wish I could tell my son if I'm not here when he can understand better.

I’m 24 and didn’t have a dad but this shit mad me appreciate my mom for being both parents for my life. You music is special.

Thanks for the love. I want for my boys what you said. Respect!

i just want him to blow up he deserves so much more followers

Marlon, you got me crying so hard right now. I had my first son when I was 15 and a freshmen In high school in 2002. I was the first one in my entire school to have a kid and lost a lot of my friends once he was born. Months later me and his mother would split up ( she was 18 ). The next 18 years were full of so many ups and downs. Wins and loses. I watched him grow and learn and struggle. We cried and laughed together. Times we couldn't see each other. My son is 18 years old now and living on their own. We talk every day and they are my best friend to say the least. This song is everything that a young me wanted to say to the little child that was growing inside her. When we would sit in the lunchroom and have everybody starring at us while I kissed her belly or held her hand to walk her through the hallways. When we saw him on the ultra sound for the first time and I heard his heart beating. These are the words I wanted to tell my son. I just sent them the link to this song. Thank you for making such beautiful art and letting me share in it. Im moved and humbled by your words and I just wanted to say thank you Mr. Craft.

My 7 month daughter liked one of your freestyles so I played this for her and I'm glad I did. Not many rappers make music I can enjoy with her. Thanks man, I'll be a fan for life 💯

That second verse. It’s crazy but someone started chopping onions right in the middle of it.

Made a man shed a tear over these rhymes

My son is now 2.. I still play this song for him. Beautiful.. and I wish he had stuck to this message

Bro i swear u really know how speak to someone's soul

Yo....possibly the best verses you've ever spit. So meaningful. From the heart. Its the perfect message for our children. I got a daughter, and I related to this so much. Thanks for sharing your soul with us bro. PEACE

Keep coming back to this for some love

One of the most important messeges we can send one another...."you are loved"

Im gonna play this for my son tomorrow.. he's about to be one

I randomly stumbled on to here thanks to my recommened list. I am not disappointed. The world needs to know this guy exists.

As a father to a 6 month old son, I felt this on a different level. I want my son to climb higher in this shitty world that I ever could. He’s gonna be great as long as he can look past the bullshit the world tries to throw in his face. It scares me seeing how this world is and not knowing how to explain it all to an unsure little mind. Love this one Marlon!💪🏼

Very much needed bro! Thank you for speaking to me marlon!!! Sincerely, the human you haven't met yet

This song always reminds me how lonely and empty I really feel.

I'll tell you what, you may not have as many fans or viewers than the top artists but your viewers and fans are loyal and deeply moved by your music. Everytime I'm at a function of some sort and I find a fellow hip hop head, I show him your music and the response is always the same, "Why have I never heard of this guy before?" Keep killing it.

Ah the reflective years... what a time you chose to be born.

The actual best Marlon Craft is

I had to stop what I was doing and go hug my son. (I love you, boy)

The greatest of his generation. A lyrical monster.

Thank you for these words

" I bring you to a world designed to disenchant you're brilliance riddle you with guilt cause they can't comodify innocence " . 💯 genious.

This true HipHop fan appreciates your craft. No pun. Thank you

With the country falling around us everyday it's nice to relax for a sec thx

That 50 cent flow

One day we are gonna work together and make music that finish the work of all those who came to change the world. Thank you G for real

As a father you killed it ....props to the new goat

You're intelligence shines through your music.

I was loved, that's enough for me

Second verse made me cry cause it's exactly me. I work crazy hard to support my family, and dealt with a lot of people I love dying. I drink to handle what I got to every day, slaving my life away to keep the rest of the ones I love alive.❤️

If I ever have a son , I cannot wait to play him this song it will explain more than I ever could in words, Thanks Marlon.

Hands down one of the best in the game.

When you grow with no "father figure" you tell yourself you don't need one ( or words like that ) listening to this messed me up in a way hard to describe. If my Father told me half of this message when I was comin up...... Thank you :)

They say shit hits different... this shit hits harder than any one cares.

I needed this letter, thank you so much for this song, I dedicated it to my 2 month old son, stay humble my brother & God bless. 🙏

M Craft droppin jewels during quarantine. He is the audio version of scotch on the rocks.

This is it. This is the real. Thank you for this.

You left this world a lil better the moment you dropped this track

"The closer I get to being happy, the more I'm afraid to die young." How incredibly relevant to my life atm. That shit hit hard Marlon, I appreciate you man. Cant wait for the next album.

Top notch lyrics and messages for all of our future kids (gods children)

That gritty New York style beat tho......boom bap!

This song couldn’t hit anymore than right now.

Thanks Marlon.

Man you had me crying... My first son is comming in a few months, wish you the best Marlon! Never stop bro, hip hop is YOU

I have 2 boys and this is truly inspiring for a parent. Thank you for blessing the world with your music

Thank you.... all I can say is thank you!

I wasn't there for my son Marlon, I was at war in Afghanistan in 2009 for the year. he was born in Sept, I was gone to war in Feb. I missed a lot of special time with my son and this song brought me to my knees. I'm glad I found your music my dude. You're an angel in this music. Thank you Marlon.

Leaving this comment so I remember exactly when I found you when you blow up. This shit was beautiful my guy. Keep moving that way!

Kid is special.

My son was born last night. This song made me shed real tears after I heard it

I’ve been listening to you for the past two years straight and you put out nothing but masterpieces with so much meaning behind it. You are criminally underrated but I want you to know that the people you HAVE reached are so grateful. You’ll probably never see this but please don’t stop making music.

LETS GO CRAFT!!

Still bumping this in ....... *insert any year at all* would have been listening for years already if he hadn't just released it

Marlon is the most productive artist in the game!

This.. This really hit me. I looked at my son and got all misty eyed n shit maaan

Rarely I can shed a tear being in a good mood and all. your shit touches Marlon. Big ups from across the globe, I.e. Russia

I live in Pittsburgh the riots are out of hand man my Mexican stepdad got tear gassed and beat for no apparent reason Marlon needs a song bout the riot problem

This my funeral song x

God bless you all, and your future children Marlon. 🙏

Reminds me of Baldwin’s “A Letter to My Nephew”, good to drop notes for the future babies.

Marlon, your bless with the gift for putting in words what we can't. For that, you've got my respect. 💪

I "Loved" it!

Man I got two kids and just had a third yesterday this song is dope. Super meaningful, and powerful!

"I don't wanna give you list of things you should shun, I rather give you the facilities to choose" You'll be a good Dad, Marlon. ✌️
