On June 15, WIDawake Entertainment/Death Row Records will release Crooked I‘s Hood Star. The famed label exclusively provided HipHopDX with the release’s vivid artwork, designed by Urbanista Graphix.
Just weeks before Hood Star‘s release, WIDEawake Entertainment Group Inc President, John Payne told DX in a statement, “The WIDEawake Entertainment Group is pleased to be able to share more gems from the Death Row [Records] vault. Once again, we are able to find some great music. The good thing about the Hood Star album is its ability to stand the test of time, even after years hidden away. We are happy that the fans will get to have a chance to enjoy this Crooked I material. There is a chance it could have sat in the archive and never been released. This is another good example of the Death Row legacy. As always, we will continue to maintain the legacy with unaltered hits from the Death Row vaults.”
Hood Star will feature then-Row inmates Kurupt, Ray J, Eastwood, Danny Boy and Spider Loc in addition to Too Short, Juvenile and Dru Hill’s Sisqo.
Now a famed emcee within Slaughterhouse and leader of Circle of Bosses (C.O.B.), Long Beach’s Crooked I spent a number of years on Death Row Records, largely during then-founder/CEO Marion “Suge” Knight’s 1997-2001 incarceration. During that tenure, Crooked appeared on compilations such as Too Gangsta For Radio and Dysfunktional Family soundtrack, while appearing on albums from Ja Rule, Ashanti and Boo Ya T.R.I.B.E.
In related news, Crooked I is also set to release Mr. Pigface Weapon Waist 2 next month, a sequel to last year’s self-released digital EP.

Here we go with the dickriding again…
Handy is one of the gayest mu’f#@kas on the Internet. Straight up.

ill cop this. artwork is hella dope
crooked i shoulda dropped his album right after the wake up show freestyle where he said he was every nigga suge ever signed in one rapper.
this nigga been in the game since 95, and hes not even the one dropping his debut solo albu,
crooked i can rap but he doesnt know how to move.
it took slaughterhouse to get him on the shelf, and he been grindin for 15 years.
get better management bro. better yet, just drop a album. cuz this white bitch runnin death row is beating your bum ass to the punch.
if u cop this the money is not going to Crooked I.
Maybe this album is available at Crooked I’s store?
!!!!!! i’ve been waitin along time for this and i’m glad this is finally seeing the light of day. death row did this right with the flashy artwork. this hood star looks hot to death

Good job Death Row, using old ass pictures that have been on the net for years. That’ll fool us.
the pics r from a dr pic shoot
This is just like when Death Row released that Dead Man Walkin’ album from Snoop, when the Doggfather wasn’t going see a dime from the sales. I didn’t feel bad about pirating that album, and the same applies here. I know the label has a new owner now, but it’s still the same bull shit.
5 STARS ON THE ALBUM PACKAGING + PROPS TO HIPHOPDX @ THE LOOK
If the dollars aint going to Crooked, This albums gettin bootlegged, fuck a nigga making a dollar of another niggas hard work.

If Crooked ain’t getting paid off this, I ain’t buying SHIT!!! I’ll get a bootleg copy and tell all my folks to do the same. Schiesty mu’f@$kas………trying ta scheme and get bread off this man.
Crooked I is backing this release. He wants all the hard work he put into making these songs finally released. I heard him say so in a youtube video.
