6	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 including a sequel to ''The Savage Beast''.

20	!!TD Cruze provides examples of:
21
22	* AlternativeHipHop
23	* CallBack: The "Commercial Break" track on ''TDTV'' references ''The Savage Beast''.
24	* ChronologicalAlbumTitle: ''The Savage Beast 2''
25	* TheFaceless: There are no known images of TD Cruze anywhere on the internet. It is unknown whether this is intentional or not.
26	* EverythingIsAnInstrument: ''The Savage Beast'' and it's sequel are perfect examples of this, seeing as how they are comprised entirely of animal sounds.
27	* FakeRadioShowAlbum: The premise of ''TDTV'' is that the listener is watching Video Soul, an actual music video program that aired on BET from 1981 to 1996, and that each of the songs are different videos interspersed with sampled dialogue from Donnie Simpson, one of the hosts from Video Soul, in between each song. ''TDTV'' also included a "Commercial Break" track, with samples from early 90's TV commercials.
28	* GenreMashup: According to the bandcamp tags, ''Pavlov's Dogs'' was intended to be a combination of Hip-Hop, Noise, Post-Punk, and House music.
29	* NewSoundAlbum: All of his projects can be considered this. Each of his instrumental EP's are firmly rooted in a different style of music, ranging from Trip-Hop to Noise to Jazz-Rock Fusion.
30	* 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]].
31	* {{Sampling}}: All of TD Cruze's songs seem to have some sort of sample in them, even though the animal sounds used in ''The Savage Beast'' EP's wouldn't necessarily be considered actual musical samples.
32	* ShoutOut: The cover of Nice Find is taken from the Drew Studio in [[{{VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney}} Apollo Justice Ace Attorney]].
33	* TextlessAlbumCover: All of Cruze's projects with the exception of ''TDTV''.
