Jon Crawford released his new album Circle of Life in January, 2018. The Camden, New Jersey native has released his second project in as many years and looks prime to continue this level of production. On “3 AM in Camden,” he covers everything from slain friends to struggling with balancing his career and family. Crawford’s Circle of Life album, much like it’s lead single, is a window into the mind of a young father trying to make it all work.

The music and video below is presented here for the purpose of scholarship.
