New Jersey’s own hip-hop and spoken word artist, Cre8ive MC, triumphantly announces his official return to music with the release of his debut full-length album, ‘Make Sure They Spell Your Name Right,’ which is available now exclusively on his website. Known around the North Jersey open mic scene for his electric performances, emotional honesty, and quick wit, Cre8ive MC delivers a statement of purpose with this first proper album. He comments that the record was something “I needed to do for myself,” acknowledging a necessary step to prove his artistic worth and capacity to execute his full creative vision after a time away from the mic. The album unfolds across three distinct parts, expertly bridging golden-era hip-hop influences with a modern sound while guiding listeners through themes of identity, resilience, and mental health. With tracks that range from high-energy lyrical showcases to deep dives into self-doubt, like the song “Come Back Home,” the journey culminates in the joyful, humorous track “Boiled Peanuts,” highlighting the artist’s full humanity and triumphant creative return.
