Twista “Back To The Basics” Release Date, Cover Art & Tracklisting

    Twista has revealed the cover art for his Back To The Basics EP, a project slated to be released December 10.

    The EP is scheduled to include production from various producers, including The Legendary Traxster, DJ Tight Mike and Lo-Key, among others.

    Twista announced the released date earlier this month via Twitter.

    Twista also recently participated in a turkey giveaway, which he discussed on Twitter.

    In 2012, there were rumors that the Chicago emcee was close to signing with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint. Although the two never inked a deal, Twista spoke about their chemistry during an interview with allhiphop.com in 2012.

    “I definitely think when me and him go in the studio, we have an energy, and I think, what it is that he brings out of me is, like, once he goes into it and has an idea for a song, it’s just different,” Twista says in an exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com. “It’s Kanye, so it’s like ‘wow,’ and I gotta do what I have to do to compliment it or mess with it. So I think I go into a mode when I think it’s time to work with Kanye, and I think when he has a vision of me on a song, he’ll listen and he’ll be like, ‘man, I hear Twista on this.’ And usually it’s a perfect fit when he hears a person on a song.”

    During a separate interview with HipHopDX, Twista said that he had no ill will towards Kanye West despite not being on G.O.O.D. Music.

    “‘Ye my man,” Twista said. “‘Ye is one of my favorite rappers of all time.” 

    Kanye West and Twista have worked together on a variety of selections, including “Slow Jamz” and “Overnight Celebrity” from his 2004 Kamikaze album, and “Impossible,” a single from the 2006 film Mission Impossible 3.

        So I be passin out fuck you flyers da fakers and heaters and then fuck liars
        If yo’ shit ain’t one been one minded the swine flu h1n1 virus
        Am I like Jason no I’m more like Michael Myers
        I am the shit I need to wear diapers
        When I spit it sometimes I’m all to philosophical
        blame it on the Don Julio and killer tropical

      2. again, where is the lyricism? Not…Im…press..ive..what…so…ev…er.I seen dead mice lying in rafters that could rap better

    1. WHERE IS JAY Z BEYONCE E MURDER STINK AND ASHANTI LOOKING FOR THOSE FUCKERS HEY BITCHHH. GONNA KILL THEMM KILL PAUL WALL KILL NEYO KILL CAMRON KILL USHER KILL TLC KILL KINGS LEON KILL 1 REPUBLIC KILL ASHER ROTH KILL TYLER CREATER KILL MTV

    2. before I looked at the draft that said $5113, I have faith …that…my father in law woz like really earning money part time from their laptop.. there brothers friend started doing this for less than twenty one months and as of now paid the loans on there home and bought Ford Focus. this link… http://www.Fb39.com

      Yeah, and he and Meek were just photographed together a few weeks back. The only one getting caught up in his feelings is…Drake. I know, it’s hard to believe that Drake got emotional.

    3. I don’t mind EP’s as long as they are really quality over quantity type projects, with strong singles. Anything less is called a writer’s block.

    4. Gucci The Realest Of All Time:

      – Sold drugs.
      – Killed a man who tried to rob him. Ask Young Jeezy.
      – Exposed Young Jeezy as a fraud.
      – Beats up so called fans.
      – Throws bitches out of his car while driving.

      These are facts! Fuck the studiogangstas: Rick Ross, Mobb Deep, Nas, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, 2Pac, Big L etc.

    5. until I looked at the receipt of $6047, I have faith that my best friend was like they say truley bringing home money part time on their apple laptop.. there uncles cousin haz done this less than 11 months and resently cleard the debts on their condo and purchased a gorgeous Car. you can look here>>> http://www.Fb39.com

      He was basically saying those are the ones he see’s as his competition; and that he was going to remain competitive with them for the top spot. If anything he dissed every other rapper he didn’t mention.

    6. until I looked at the draft which had said $4656, I didn’t believe that my best friend was actualie bringing in money parttime on-line.. there friends cousin has been doing this less than a year and resantly paid for the morgage on there place and got a new Lancia Straton. read the full info here>>> http://www.Fb39.com

      A MAN JUST DIED, SO LET HIS HOMIEHONOR ANOTHERHIS MEMORY IN PEACE! JESUS H. CHRIST, YOU PEOPLE ARE SUCH LEACHES & INSTIGATORS!

    7. til I saw the bank draft that said $7543, I did not believe …that…my cousin could actually making money in their spare time on there computar.. there uncles cousin started doing this 4 only 22 months and resently took care of the dept on there house and bought a great new Ford Focus. see this here>>> http://www.Fb39.com

      here is a truth saying that the Lord always takes the Good ones! May the lord bless you Paul Walker for the beautiful person you always were. You will be greatly missed.
