The Crest (AD, Jack Cracker, DJ Skrabble, and Jayson Blare) have been pioneering hip hop in their hometown Madison and all throughout Wisconsin. Their Mid-West vibe and everyday feel has won over fans that are more diverse than the traditional hip hop crowd. Success has been a long time in the making for The Crest. AD and Jack Cracker are brothers that grew up with a love for hip hop in the early 80’s which began with break dancing and over time molded into rhyming.
Since first hitting a real studio in 1997, The Crest has released 11 self distributed albums. Music from these releases won The Crest three John Lennon Songwriting Contest Awards (2001-2003) and one Independent Music Award (2000). In 2002 During the recording of “Binge Thinking” rappers AD and Jack Cracker met producers DJ Skrabble and Jayson Blare. The foursome clicked musically and began to take their sound to an even higher level. This fusion landed The Crest a recording contract with Uprising Records, a diverse label which has been home to artists such as Fall Out Boy, Stretch Armstrong and Ricanstruction. In June 2005 The Crest dropped their national debut “Skeptik” on Uprising Records. “Skeptik” was written over an intense six month period, and uses a lot of live instrumentation throughout. The group has performed hundreds of shows through out the Mid-West including a few Vans Warped Tours, and is noted for their intense live performances and freestyles.
