Watch ScholarMan perform his Crisis Mode EP from home in black and white. The Maryland rapper produced the EP with some beats from The Alchemist for the remixes of “As If I’m Michael” and “Upon Me.” ScholarMan’s flow, production, and presentation for the camera have a ’90s underground flavor that recalls the best things about hip-hop during that decade. He released his most recent full-length album, The Rising, in 2022. Life changes inspired Crisis Mode and whatever rough stops ScholarMan may have endured sounds like it was all mastered with music.
