Band of the Week: Controversial OU rapper challenges norms with hip-hop music, tattoos

Crafter said. It doesn't really bother me and won't do anything but motivate me to just go harder. To me

it stands for freedom of speech sexual liberation and being comfortable with yourself regardless of other people's ideology.

An Ohio University junior from Columbus who recently switched his major to audio production, Crafter's hip-hop with a humorous bite was first showcased in the fall of 2006 when he released the album I Love Lesbians. Of all the words that could be used to describe Josh Crafter, also known as DJ Nig-Unit, shy would not be one of them.

My friend's roommate was receiving texts about how I should get beaten up for calling myself Nig-Unit

Another album soon followed with Nigapalooza in the fall of 2007, and Crafter is currently in the process of finishing up his third release, N.I.G-Spot. His song titles are just as controversial as the albums, including The Shocker

Party In My Pants and Nigalicious.

I'll spend $1

500 to $1

800 to get the CD done

and I'll put a bunch in a backpack and give them out at parties

Crafter said. Apparently that helps my shit spread like wildfire.

Another thing Crafter has spent a lot of money on - $2,500 - are his 27 tattoos, and he plans to get more.

They are addictive as hell
