Before the mix,there were words.

Crowell’s artist archive places the Sqaz name around 2000–2001 and identifies his original recording Kill You as a 2007 work. The archive describes that recording in the context of theatrical, confrontational rap; it also distinguishes the original from a later 2026 treatment.

That distinction matters to the biography: an old vocal or composition and a new arrangement can belong to different moments in the same creative history. The current archive retains those connections rather than presenting every new version as a newly written song.

Hip-hop remains visible in the Call Me Daddy catalog. Running a Monopoly, dated October 8, 2026 in the official release data, is described as a satirical hip-hop freestyle. Its everyday subject matter belongs to a later part of Crowell’s work, alongside electronic, dubstep and alternative R&B recordings.

Only Real Things offers a direct link between the names in release credits: Call Me Daddy, William J. Crowell, Sqaz and MusicSubject appear together. MusicSubject is the project; William J. Crowell is the person behind both the earlier and current recording identities.
