Demetrius Gibbs (born August 15, 1974), better known by his stage name Krumbsnatcha, is an American rapper from Lawrence, Massachusetts who emerged in the underground hip hop scene in the 1990s as part of Gang Starr Foundation. His debut studio album Snatcha Season Pt. 1 was released in 1998.

Career[edit]
Krumbsnatcha's verse on Gang Starr Make ‘Em Pay[4] on Moment of Truth garnered him the timeless honor on The Source: Hip-Hop Quotables[5][6]. Not long after his initial success Krumbsnatcha violated terms of his parole and was sent back to prison. Resulting from his legal issues he was subsequently dropped from Interscope Records. Upon his release from prison, Krumbsnatcha signed a deal with DJ Premier's record label D&D Records[7]. In 2001 Krumbsnatcha was on Training Day, collaborating with M.O.P. on the song W.O.L.V.E.S.[8]. Krumbsnatcha's third studio album Respect All Fear None was released on October 8, 2002[9][10]is a testament of a man who went through every possible obstacle that a man could face. That frustration would lead Krumbsnatcha to maintain his focus and keep writing. On March 10, 2009 Krumbsnatcha released his eighth studio album Hidden Scriptures.[11] On October 4, 2011 Krumbsnatcha released his ninth studio album The Resurrection of the Golden Wolf.[12] On January 13, 2012 Krumbsnatcha announced his retirement from hip hop.[12]
