Oakland isn’t just a backdrop in the story of C. Titus—it’s a pulse that runs through every verse, every beat, every truth he delivers. Raised in the cultural crucible of this legendary city, C. Titus emerged not only as a recording artist but as a vessel of generational sound and struggle. Born to musician Caurice Titus Sr., his early life wasn’t filled with clichés of rebellion—it was filled with rhythm. Studio sessions became sanctuaries. Instruments weren’t just played—they were inherited.
From the church pews to block parties, from family jam sessions to solo midnight writing rituals, music was never a hobby—it was legacy. His father’s mastery of drums, keyboard, and trumpet laid the foundation, while his cousins, Black Albert and Sonny B.—the latter a producer to icons like Tupac Shakur and Too $hort—set a standard of excellence C. Titus carries forward with pride.
But make no mistake—Titus is not a reflection of his influences. He is a force of his own.
A true writer's writer, C. Titus does not chase trends—he translates experience. His lyrics are crafted from lived realities: love, loss, survival, healing, and triumph. His artistry has inspired peers across coasts, including Brooklyn native and rising star Shanasia Jones, who credits him as a creative north star.
A pivotal chapter began in 2023 when he reawakened Realede Records, the independent label he co-founded and revitalized after a needed hiatus. The result? A powerful string of singles including the introspective “DLT”, the nostalgic groove of “Make It Last”, and the lush, emotionally textured “Mutual” featuring Gabby Rose—all signaling a deeper evolution in both sound and storytelling.
Now, in 2025, C. Titus is ready to own the summer with “In The Mood” featuring Craig Pierre—an atmospheric anthem soaked in sensuality, cadence, and the kind of vibe only California can breed. It’s not just a single. It’s a signal: that C. Titus isn’t coming back. He never left.
With a sonic signature that channels the depth of Nas, the intellect of J. Cole, the grit of Nipsey Hussle, and the heart of The Game, C. Titus continues to craft music that doesn’t just entertain—it imprints.
His path isn’t defined by industry playbooks. His legacy is being written on his own terms—with clarity, purpose, and power.
