Inspired by the recent success of DJ Premier and Royce Da 5’9, KXNG CROOKED (f.k.a. Crooked I) and Statik Selektah have announced plans to collaborate on a full-length album release.
The newly formed emcee/producer duo made the announcement earlier this weekend on ShowOff Radio. The album, tentatively titled Statik KXNG, is apparently set to be released on Penalty Entertainment, a label that recently released CROOKED’s fellow Slaughterhouse rapper Joell Ortiz’s latest album and has a catalog that dates back to the 1990s.
“We got something we got to announce,” Statik Selektah said on the radio show. “Me and CROOKED have been talking for a while, and I was like, ‘You know what, we should just do a project. Why not?”
“It makes good sense,” CROOKED chimed in. “To be honest, Hip Hop is going in a great direction. We just got to make our contribution. I’m excited for this project. It’s gonna be something dope.”
CROOKED added of the release, “[it’s] West meets East. East meets West. Two people at the top of their game at what they doing. We involving a lot of shit out there but we’re putting everything down to bring a dope project to the people. We won’t disappoint. Straight up.”

duuuh dumb dumb
well you’ve clearly been living under a rock
This sounds dope! Prhyme was easily the biggest surprise of 2014 .. Forest Hills wasn’t a surprise it was expected and exactly what J.Cole is capable of .. Prhyme was mad surprising and really pushed the boundaries
Statik Slektah’s dry ass is one of the worst right now along with no drums Alchemist. Both very overrated.
HA! STATIK MOS DEF FUCKED YOUR BITCH OR YOUR MOM….MAYBE YOUR SISTER
Nah, but your mom loved getting pounded by me last night.
A full-length with Apollo Brown would’ve been so much better, the one he did with O.C. is beautiful.
