A bajillion years...

...

I lie.

A recent press release says:

--------------------

Crooked I - BOSS scheduled for release in October 2007
Former Death Row inmate Crooked I flips gang-life for the Director's chair.

LOS ANGELES- AUGUST 2007-- , B.O.S.S., the long-awaited album by underground hip hop legend Crooked I, hits the streets on October 23rd 2007. Co-produced by Crooked I himself, and long-time partner Jim Gittum, B.O.S.S., chronicles 10 years of grindin' and the re-birth of Gangsta Rap.

"New West Anthem," the first single from the LP, is a worldwide hit, which is released physically August 28th and is available digitally now. The success of the original single “Boom Boom Clap” spawned a popular, west coast star-studded remix produced by Jim Gittum, which featured artists Mykestro, Yac-Da-XO (Doggy’s Angels) and Crooked I’s protégés Horse Shoe Gang. It’s possible a remix of the same sort will be released for "New West Anthem,", but a music video is guaranteed to hit BET and MTV in September. Crooked I will shoot the music video for the new track in his hometown, Long Beach, CA.

"It's crazy," said the 30-year old of his recent success. "The support I'm getting for this record is unbelievable. I can't wait to take it all back home for the video."

The second single from B.O.S.S. is yet to be announced, but is confirmed that it will again be produced by Jim Gittum, the man behind hits from 2PAC, Ja Rule, and Death Row Records.

Other tracks featured on the album include “Straight Bosses”, “Gangstas Cry” featuring the soulful vocals of Treacherous Records artiste K-Young, “My Biggest Mistake” a track relating to relationship problems, and the underground club hit “Gangsta Gumbo”.

Crooked I is also finishing a DVD series called “BOSS CHRONICLES”, which will be released after the album is on shelves in October. From there he will hop on a nationwide tour promoting the releases.

In addition to Jim Gittum, who worked closely with Crooked I on the album, producers Scott Storch, Rick Rock and Komplex, all contribute songs. Multi-platinum rapper Bun-B, and label-mates K-Young, Horse Shoe Gang and Sauce Tha Boss are also featured.

Crooked I “B.O.S.S.” available nationwide October 23rd at Wherehouse Music, CD World, Strawberries, Coconuts Music & Movies, and Planet Music.

Good Lookin..Cant wait for this
Glad its got a date on it

Nokster · 08-13-2007, 05:38 PM

word. Crooked mentioned this date in his last interview. Should be a fucking dope album. Hopefully he stays with his gangsta on the album, but equally portrays the monster MC in him.

scool · 08-13-2007, 05:41 PM

this is good news

InsertNameHere · 08-13-2007, 09:11 PM

YESSSSSSSSSSS ! IT'S COMING !

Shyne · 08-13-2007, 10:42 PM

I have a feeling this album is going to be average at best. Like he'll have a few really good lyrical tracks then the rest will be some watered down radio bullshit. Oh well I still hope its dope.

InsertNameHere · 08-14-2007, 12:29 AM

^ 19 Weeks of Hip Hop Weekly hasn't been watered down/grown weaker etc. If he can do it there, he can probably last himself on maybe 14-15 tracks on an album.

But from the looks of the track "My Biggest Mistake" about relationships and shit, not too sure though.

Oh. SHYNE, CHECK YA PM'S

Nokster · 08-14-2007, 02:46 AM

I co-sign with Shyne. I said it before... but I just hope the good outweighs the bad.

G-NiUS · 08-14-2007, 06:08 AM

Apparently a couple of people have contacted Crooked since the press release and he has said the news is "untrue". I don't know which sources to believe though...damn internet. However, the album is still planned to be coming in October, so maybe even earlier than the fake press release suggested?

Personally, I've got a feeling this album will be a near-classic. I think he'll dumb it down slightly on the singles but that's it. From what I hear from him in his interviews, he seems like a guy who places the quality of music over how much he'll sell. I guess we'll just wait and see.

True, but I'm not sure if that's still a planned single with it already being out for quite a while now. It was meant to be the B side of the single, with N.W.A. being the A side but I think the plans have changed now as new material has probably been recorded. Jim Gittum was crazy on that beat too, he's got maaaaajor talent.

I thought I'd also post this snippet. I can't remember where I got it from but I'm pretty sure it's from a song which is yet to be released...maybe it's for the album? Anyway, the beat is as hot as Jessica Alba with bigger titties.

Nokster · 08-14-2007, 08:59 PM

^ that beat was fire. I haven't heard that snippet. Anywho, I hope we get the shit out soon... definitely copping that.

Oh and that snippet is fucking ill

G-NiUS · 08-15-2007, 05:33 PM

I've been a member of Crooked I's forums for two years now, thus I win this showdown of super coolness.

By the way, the new hip hop weekly is coming tomorrow as opposed to today. Apparently Crook's got some personal problems with his mom in hospital. Hope she gets well soon...
