Fresh off the release of his highly anticipated Apex Predator LP, Crooked I grabs the mic along with co-host Somayeh and breaks down a few stand out tracks off the project.  The Long Beach native gives insight behind the creative inspiration for “YODO” which serves a cautionary tale for the younger generation to always be aware of their surroundings.  Next, Crooked talks “No Sleep Gang” which is the new banger and anthem for every go-getter and dream chaser.

The Slaughterhouse MC also takes the time to give his thoughts on the lack of authentic and talented artists currently plaguing Hip Hop but reassures listeners he holds the cure with Apex Predator.  Before heading out, Crooked I gives details behind the unorthodox making of “Sumthin From Nuthin” which showcases the rapper creating a completely original song with nothing but a water bottle, some beat boxing skills, a pen, his finger and vocals.  Be sure to tune into C.O.B. Radio every Wednesday broadcasted live from the Skee Lodge from 5 p.m to 7 p.m. only at Skee247.com internet radio.
