The collaboration combines Crankdat’s signature high-energy bass with Juicy J’s hypnotic vocals, creating a heavy-hitting experience that’s as intense as it is unexpected.

The track had its debut at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, where Crankdat celebrated a major milestone. With a sold-out doubleheader, the producer said he reached “the biggest goal [he] had set for 8 years,” solidifying the event as a pivotal moment in his career. Alongside the crowd’s excitement, Open The Pit amped up the energy, introducing fans to a unique fusion of bass-heavy beats and rap grit that Crankdat and Juicy J have crafted.

The live debut wasn’t a one-off. Crankdat continued to build momentum for the track by dropping it at North Coast Music Festival and Lost Lands, two festivals known for intense performances and passionate fans. Each time, the song’s impact was undeniable, creating a buzz that followed it from stage to stage. With Juicy J chanting, “When you hear this song you gon’ open up the pit,” the build-up to the song’s drop is an invitation for the crowd to let loose. When the beat hits, Crankdat’s powerful dubstep soundscapes take over, resulting in a pulse-raising experience that has become a standout moment in his sets.

As the track grows in popularity, it highlights Crankdat’s evolution as an artist within the bass music scene. Known for high-intensity productions, he has consistently pushed boundaries, and with Open The Pit, he’s successfully merging dubstep with hip-hop. The collaboration is a testament to his willingness to take risks and bring new elements to his music.

Looking ahead, Crankdat has big plans for 2025. He is set to launch an ambitious new stage setup that promises to elevate his live performances even further. With this innovation in the works, he’s prepared to take his shows—and tracks like Open The Pit—to even larger audiences, reinforcing his place in the electronic music world.

For Juicy J, the collaboration is yet another display of his versatility as an artist. Known for his iconic influence in rap, he’s no stranger to branching out into different genres, and Open The Pit showcases his adaptability.
