Fans and industry insiders alike are buzzing about the song’s raw energy and its unapologetic expression of resilience, ambition, and redemption.

Written by Krazy Dee (born Derick Antwi) and produced by NXSTYSZN, “Back Then” captures the Brooklyn artist’s gritty journey from struggle to triumph. “I’ve been through my share of ups and downs,” says Krazy Dee. “This single reflects all the years of being doubted and overlooked, but now it’s my time. I’m coming for everything I’ve worked for, and I’m bringing my fans along with me.”

Hailing from Coney Island with Ghanaian roots, Krazy Dee didn’t initially see music as his future. However, after experiencing personal setbacks and losses, he found solace in creating music that resonated with his struggles. His breakthrough in 2020, following the pandemic, marked a turning point in his career. He used the time to hone his craft, ultimately leading to his signing with One Nation and launching his career in earnest.

As a 22-year-old artist, Krazy Dee has faced challenges beyond his years, including the loss of both parents. Despite this, he’s remained grounded, channeling his pain into his music.

“The pain is forever going to be there,” he shares. “But you just take it day by day and keep pushing.”

Krazy Dee’s unique blend of hip-hop and African influences continues to set him apart in the music scene.

“I’m born in America, but I’m Ghanaian, and I’m Nigerian, so my roots are deep in both cultures,” he says. “But at the end of the day, I’m an American artist. I’m representing Coney Island, where I grew up.”

With his latest single and music video, Krazy Dee is proving that his time is now, and the best is yet to come. Watch the official video for “Back Then” on YouTube and stream the track on all major platforms.
