* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: According to the bandcamp tags, ''Pavlov's Dogs'' was intended to be a combination of Hip-Hop, Noise, Post-Punk, and House music.

* AnythingCanBeMusic: ''The Savage Beast'' and it's sequel are perfect examples of this, seeing as how they are comprised entirely of animal sounds.

* PunBasedTitle: ''The Last P90Xorcism'' is a portmanteau of [[{{Film/TheLastExorcism}} The Last Exorcism]] and workout video series P90X. The EP features dialogue samples from the P90X videos and real-life exorcisms. Also doubles as a [[{{MultipleReferencePun}} Multiple Reference Pun]].

Later that year he released ''The Savage Beast'', the first ever instrumental hip-hop project to be comprised of only animal noises. This led to widespread blog exposure and even radio play in certain areas. He then went on to release several instrumental EP's until September 2013, when he made his rapping debut with ''The Savage Beast 2''.

* AnythingCanBeMusic: ''The Savage Beast'' and it's sequel are perfect examples of this, seeing as how they are comprised entirely of animal sounds (with the exception of Cruze's voice on the latter).
* BoastfulRap: ''The Savage Beast 2'' is full of this. In the last song on the album, he even refers to himself as the Artist of the New Millenium.

* ColbertBump: Some may assert that {{Music/Lil B}} had this effect on Cruze's career.

* HymnToMusic: "I Hate Hip-Hop" from ''The Savage Beast 2'' could be considered this, but it mainly has to do with the culture of hip-hop rather than the actual music itself.

* TakeThat: In ''The Savage Beast 2'', Cruze takes shots at various rappers, including ASAP Rocky and Trinidad James, for their suspiciously fast and mysterious rise to fame. Some of the lyrics also seem to reference Chance the Rapper and in another song he calls out certain rappers for not taking their own music and personas seriously enough.

* ThreeChordsAndTheTruth: ''The Savage Beast 2'', for the most part, has much simpler beats than it's predecessor and according the Cruze, the entire project is about making a statement, not fancy flows, metaphors, or production tricks.

* ShoutOut: The cover of Nice Find is taken from the Drew Studio in [[{{VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney}} Appollo Justice Ace Attorney]].
