Episode Synopsis

The second I Am Cricchi stepped into the I Am Redemption studio, he dropped a beat and started rapping! Raw, real, and unrehearsed. In this powerful conversation, Cricchi shares his story of survival: from the streets of Baltimore to battling addiction to crack and opiates, surviving shootouts, homelessness, and time in youth detention.Through it all, the mic never left his hand. What started as freestyling in locked cells has become a message of hope, healing, and hard truth. Today, Cricchi is living sober, a proud husband and father, and using his voice to inspire others through music and message.00:00 – Cold Open: Cricchi Drops a Beat in Studio02:12 – Growing Up in Baltimore: Survival & Struggle07:48 – Early Addiction: Opiates, Crack, and First Rock Bottom13:36 – Shootouts, Near Death, and Living in the Streets18:24 – Juvenile Detention & Discovering His Voice23:17 – Why Writing and Rapping Became His Lifeline28:59 – Battling Demons While Chasing the Mic34:06 – Turning Point: Finding Sobriety & Purpose39:45 – Marriage, Fatherhood, and Building a Life He’s Proud Of46:32 – How His Music Now Inspires Others in Recovery52:41 – Reflections on Pain, Redemption, and Why He’s Still Here59:12 – Closing Freestyle & Final Message to the Audience Hosted by Ausha.
