Crooked I - Let Me Buy You a Drink
Artist: Crooked I
Featuring: Vaughn Anthony
Producer: TABU
Album: Planet C.O.B. Vol. 1 EP
Label: Treacherous/Dynasty Music Group
Don’t worry, Crooked I hasn’t gone all T-Pain on us. While Let Me Buy You a Drink finds the Cali mainstay showcasing a different side of his persona than fans may be used to, it’s… well… a different different side than the title might lead you to expect. Here, the Slaughterhouse emcee emerges as a masterful storyteller. Backed by the subdued production of Danish crew TABU, the rapper steps into the shoes of a drug pusher whose girl left him after learning that he’d cheated, taking the kids with her – and thanks to his occupation, any effort to gain custody would, of course, land him in jail. As it turns out, the woman to whom he’s pouring out his heart has a dilemma of her own: as Crook explains on verse two, she’s struggling with whether to tell her fiancée that she’s pregnant with another man’s child. Topped off with the silky-smooth hook vocals of singer/songwriter Vaughn Anthony, this cut doesn’t offer much in the way of happy endings, but there’s no denying its cathartic appeal. Fans can find this joint, along with some lighter fare, on Crook’s Planet C.O.B Vol.1 , released yesterday and available for purchase online.

I didn't expect this from Crook. I knew he was capable of delivering something like this, a la Raekwon, but I hadn't heard it from him in, well, I don't remember (sorry!). Listen twice, with headphones preferably, and you'll appreciate his gripping, story-telling skills for all they're worth.

One of the best in the game at the moment. Love to see him murder every freestyle he does, but at the same time I like some substance from the artist. This shows Crooked can be a storyteller when he wants to be, and most importantly, he's an artist and not just a rapper.
