Malek started making music at the age of 14, though initially only for fun. He started out by playing guitar and producing beats under the name "Crucial J", but would later change it to "Croosh" once he started to lean more towards rapping.

Stack it up twice

In Croosh's song "Way Out," he talks about feeling detached from reality as he turns to drugs to escape his problems. He uses the metaphor of "cup on cup, stack it up twice" to describe his excessive drinking and drug use, followed by the line "I'm fucked up, purple on ice" which suggests that he is mixing cough syrup with soda. He then goes on to say "Mix, mix, mix, till I feel nice, sip, sip, sip, AC in the sprite" which further demonstrates his dependence on drugs to numb his pain. The chorus of the song revolves around the phrase "way out" which could refer to the state of being high, but also suggests that he is trying to escape his problems, hence he is way out - far from reality.
In the second verse, he still cannot shake off his feelings of loneliness and isolation despite trying to drown them in drug-induced stupor. He talks about his ego playing hide and seek and how he feels like he loses himself seven times a week. The line "just keep me company" suggests that he is desperately seeking companionship, which he feels could alleviate his problems. He mentions the pressure of being a role model in his community and how he has to "hold it down because they look up to me." But, he also acknowledges that he is not invincible, which is why he finds himself in the state he is in. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the theme of escapism that runs throughout the song.
