Crooked I is preparing to make his anticipated return with his new mixtape "Young Boss Vol. 2". Crooked I originally planned to release the follow up to last year's Volume 1 today, November 15th, but there was a last minute delay that came up. Crook decided to push it back for a specific reason, cause the Young Boss reached out to DJ Skee to host the mixtape, which put a delay of a few days in the project.
Crooked I hit up West Coast 2k to discuss the exact reasons for the delay, as well as other details on the mixtape.
"The mixtape is ready to go," Crooked I told West Coast 2k. "but I decided that I wanted somebody to host it. So I put it in my man DJ Skee's hands, and he did his thing to it after I finished it up. The mixtape was scheduled to drop today, but that was only a tentative date though. That wasn't a date in concrete, cause once we lost the entire mixtape from the hard drive we didn't know exactly when we were gonna put it out. I was thinking around the 15th, but that was only tentative. Right now I'm just waiting on it getting finished pressed up. I'm figuring it will be done in about a week to 10 days till it's pressed up."
Being a label owner, Crooked I has obviously more to take care of than just recording music in the studio. Some fans may not be aware that the Dynasty CEO is involved in every step and process of getting his project released.
"I know sometimes it takes a little while, but people gotta understand that we're a independent company man. This is not no phony lil' label imprint deal that I got. I got a real record company, it's really independent, we have our office, we got a staff, and we work our ass off. We not like a big machine like other labels where you make a mixtape and then I'm on to the next project, while the others have to go and get it pressed up, put in the money, and make the phone calls. But it's not like that, I have to do it all. We're trying to pump it out as big as the big boys do, but they just gotta give us a little more time. And I swear it's gonna be more quality anyway." Crooked I continued.
When asked about the material and lyrical content of the "Young Boss Vol. 2" mixtape, Crooked I said:
"It ain't just a average mixtape, it's all original music on there so it's more like an underground album. It's definitely a hot project, I think people will find something on there that they can really get down with. And I'm totally speaking my mind. Some songs are considered political, cause I'm not just a rapper that wants to just rap about club life all the fucking time. The whole mixtape got different looks on it. I got tracks like "Rap 101" which is teaching rappers about the art of MCing. I got another one called "Home" which is one of my personal favorites because it tells you no matter how crazy it is in the ghetto, this is home for us. I got another one which is a letter to the homies in the penitentiaries. So the whole thing is a banger. Cause see, alot of cats on the West are arguing over who's the King on the West. But in they songs they talking about a whole lot of stuff that nobody cares about." Crooked I told West Coast 2k.
