From Chicago&#8217;s West Side, he&#8217;s known as one of the pioneers of the fast-paced, &#8216;Chopper&#8217; rap style, and he had nine albums out, with an impressive following on social media.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recently Twista has announced that his tenth album, &#8216;Crook County&#8217;, will be available from July 7, and he told XXL Magazine that the album title comes from an old song:<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;but today I just feel it represents the area where I am! We are in the country of crooks and everybody knows it!&#8221;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Twista loves his hometown Chicago though, and says he &#8220;will have\u00a0future titles representing the city in other aspects which are positive.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Crook County&#8217; is Twista&#8217;s first release since &#8216;Dark Horse&#8217;, which came out in 2014, and it contains 13 tracks, with guest spots and production from Jeremih, Vic Spencer, Cap 1, Zaytoven, and Xcel, among others.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first track from the album, &#8216;Baddest&#8217;, features Cap 1, also from Chicago, and is produced by Zaytoven, who hails from Atlanta. The video starts off with a yellow convertible seen from overhead, driving down a winding road. Twista and Cap 1 rap, incongruously in the middle of the desert, as the &#8220;baddest&#8221; women, show up ready to &#8220;turn and shake it like a stripper&#8221;. It&#8217;s a bit NSFW both lyrically and in terms of video, but the beats and rhymes are catchy and it&#8217;s those which hook in the listener.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Crook County&#8217; is available to preorder from <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/crook-county\/id1240564864?app=itunes&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iTunes<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/music\/album?id=Buq2quqwleaxq5y7fmehcbv4heu&amp;tid=song-Ttnnj5on454g3r4knh7jpyru6li\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a>, and to stream on <a href=\"https:\/\/play.spotify.com\/album\/2AKWpUfm3cQ4nycCxNLsbo?play=true&amp;utm_source=open.spotify.com&amp;utm_medium=open\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_79128\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fWepC0h_v1M?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Twista - Baddest (Official Video) ft.
