After a performance in Southern California at Paid Dues 2009, Crooked I wanted to let his fans know about his future projects.
Alongside an upcoming project with Royce Da 5'9", Joe Budden & Joell Ortiz (together as Slaughterhouse), Crooked I is teaming up with King Tech (of the World Famous Wake Up Show) for Group Therapy, a project that Crook says is needed in today's Hip Hop climate.
"We want the listeners to not be fans, but to be members of the group therapy session. Hip Hop has almost made us sick. We need to do something for people, who feel like we feel. With the current state of commercial hip hop. There's always gonna be good music out there. You just gotta search a little harder for it, because the corporations aren't putting that real good stuff to the forefront. We're trying to make music for people who feel like us," Crooked I tells HipHopDX exclusively.
"I was getting sick of the same formula, album after album, single after single. Just listening to all this stuff that people are pushing. It's no disrespect to anyone, but I just can't take this shit. They keep beating me over the head with the same shit. Me and Tech are in the same place in our career and we came together.
For those curious as to what to expect; can check out "If You Ever Hear Me" [click to listen] which acts as the first leak from Group Therapy.
"Me and King Tech been working. We got together one day and knocked out seven songs. Our energy is flowing right now. This is brand new sound for me. A brand new sound for him. This feels like the lane I wanna be in right now," the West Coast emcee explains.
Crooked I also stated that his long awaited album, B.O.S.S., will be released on the internet for free download.

Crook's got a unique marketing perspective
it's not the best but atleast his shit isn't rotting on a shelf like Can-i-bus
-
wait youve spoken on canibus before and his career etc...
can you recap what you meant?
i mean canibus might not have the best albums of choice but arent they much better (90%) better than whats out there (commercial and indie)?

canibus has chosen some of the worst beats ever
go peep that C Tru hollywood crap if you don't know what i mean.
may be the worst album EVER hahahaha
-
nah i feel what your sayin
hes a unique rapper and his style doesnt work wit any and alotta the average or ordinary production
but IMO hes a dope rapper and has made some dope traxx thru-out his albums
I MEAN "PATRIOTS" IS MAD DOPE AND ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF HIS AND IN RAP IMO
AND I'D LISTEN TO CANIBUS OVER BIGGIE IF I HAD TO CHOOSE
i mean his work on DESPERADOS was crazy
bottomline IMO hes underrated

I don't understand why No Country for Old Men was canceled unless they all thought it might be the wrong route to attack some of the Legends.

I just think that it's an unnecessary route to go right now. What's the point? Crooked got a positive vibe going with Slaughterhouse and King Tech right now. Why focus on the past when you can focus on the future?
No Country For Old Men sounds so bitter and negative, it will not advance his career, I'm telling you.
BTW: I wouldn't focus too much energy on that Dirty Dodgers group, I'm thinking that's more of an "alliance" if anything and they'll just be putting out a few songs. Crook is too busy for that right now.

wasnt BOSS meant to have a new trackin droppin each week? what happened after the first track? havent seen any others

who said it got cancelled?
-
thatīs cool,but the qestion is whatīs release date for boss? itīs always say the freedownload album will coming soon...
-
So is it a full crooked I and tech album or is it a compliation of different artists
-
All this sounds great, I just don't see how there's enough hours in the day for him to be able to get all these projects off the ground. They all sound like great projects, but it might not be a bad idea for him to knock these out one at a time, before he moves on to the next one.
-
So is it a full crooked I and tech album or is it a compliation of different artists
It's my understanding that it's a full length album with Crooked / King Tech
-

lets hope it's not the latter
