Krump was created by Caesare ‘Tight Eyez’ and Jo’Artis ‘Big Mijo’ Ratti. The two dancers were originally a part of Tommy the Clown’s Clown dancers. They used clowning as a way of release as well as an escape from the violence they found them surrounded by in Los Angeles. Eventually, Tight Eyez and Big Mijo separated from Johnson because their style of dancing was considered too “rugged” and “raw” for clowning. Although, they were no long about of Tommy the Clown's group, they still carried the purpose of influencing the youth with them. Krump was not just a dance for them but something more and spiritual. They later started there own group called the Krump Kings
