I Didn’t Have a Father….But God Stepped In
If you haven’t tuned into the latest episode of WhatItIzWhatItBeezLike?! you’re missing one of the most heartfelt and inspiring conversations in the CHH space right now. Host King Cyz welcomed Craig Watson to the show, and from the very first moment, it was clear this wasn’t just another interview. It was family catching up, iron sharpening iron, and a living testimony all wrapped into one.
King Cyz didn’t hold back in giving Craig his flowers. He called him “a breath of fresh air” — someone whose presence takes you back to the innocence of first falling in love with the art and with the Lord. And honestly, that energy carried through the entire episode.
From Freestyling for Fun to Ministry on the Mic
Craig opened up about his journey, sharing how he started rapping for fun at just ten years old and began taking it seriously around fourteen. When quarantine hit in 2020, he used the time to sharpen his pen, and the growth has been undeniable ever since. He gave his life to Christ at seventeen, and within two years of making music for the Lord, he landed on Holy Culture Records as their youngest artist. Craig doesn’t take that lightly — and it shows.
One of the standout moments of the conversation was Craig’s transparency about wrestling with self-doubt and dark thoughts. He spoke candidly about a season of struggle just weeks before the inaugural ReConnect event during MLK Weekend, sharing how community — especially his brother O-Ry Frazier — helped pull him through. That vulnerability resonated, and it’s exactly what makes Craig’s ministry so powerful. He’s not performing faith; he’s living it.
Mentorship, Humor, and Living Epistles
King Cyz and Craig dug deep into the importance of mentorship in the CHH community. Craig credited figures like his brother Jomil, who invited him to Glory Church and invested in his spiritual walk long before the music took off, and the male figure Evan who first showed him what the fruits of the Spirit looked like when Craig was just eight years old. The conversation touched on a real tension in the culture — OGs sometimes feeling intimidated by pouring into younger artists instead of seeing it as a mutual blessing. King Cyz challenged that mindset, pointing to Craig as proof that investing in the next generation pays off.
And then there’s the humor. King Cyz couldn’t stop raving about Craig’s visual content — the laundromat video, the stairwell clip with his brother, the hilarious teacher-themed reels for his single “Pressure.” Craig’s ability to blend comedy with ministry is a genuine gift. As King Cyz put it, humor softens the hardest of hearts and opens the door for real ministry to happen.
What’s Next for Craig Watson
Craig shared that his latest single “Run” dropped in February, with a gritty new track called “Are You Serious?” featuring C4 Crotona on deck for April. He also talked about upcoming ministry events including an event called Utterance and the Melodies and Bars showcase in the Bronx. King Cyz left him with a powerful challenge: to one day create a full audio-visual project — an album paired with a film — that brings the music and the message to life in a whole new way.
The episode wrapped with Craig recording radio drops for Holy Culture’s lineup of shows, each one funnier and more creative than the last, plus a heartfelt invitation to faith that reminded everyone listening what this whole thing is really about.
If you haven’t already, go find Craig Watson on all platforms, stream “Run,” and keep your eyes open for everything coming next. This young king is just getting started — and the future of CHH is in good hands.
