The man who holds the west coast in his hands when it comes to lyrical skills is definitely rap artist Crooked I.

West coast rap artist Crooked I definitely has lyrical skills to out do most of the main stream hip-hop rappers of today. Crooked I  can be seen on the cover of RIME Magazine for their July Issue. There will be a cover party in Hollywood at Club Xes (1716 Cahuenga Blvd) on June 24 from 10pm to 2am.

After the long delay of court cases, push back dates, switching labels, etc. and now it has all come to an end. Crooked I's album is releasing this September entitled B.O.S.S. Music (Beginning of Something Serious).

This long awaited record has been stunted from legal issues sustained with Marion ‘Suge’ Knight, CEO of  Death Row Records and with the label itself. Crooked I has stated that he is officially released from Death Row Records (now Tha Row) after five-years and a recent court battle.

Crooked I has wasted no time getting back into the studio with hit producer Scott Storch (created mega hits for various hip-hop and rap artists like Beyonce, Fat Joe, Mario, 50 Cent, and many more).

Crooked I's first single produced by Storch is live enough to make the whole world "lean back." His album is solid and diverse from discussing political issues, to club bangers, to gangster's anthems, to every day life experiences. His second single 20inch Wires is nothing to play with, it features Bun-B, with beats by Scott Storch, you know this is a definite win!

Crooked I is in Miami putting the finial touches on his album.  On June 20th-June 21st he will be in New York City doing a few interviews.
