Teddy Archives - New Hip Hop News

KXNG Crooked is here with another new single called “TEDDY.” Crooked is one of the best lyrical rappers in the rap game period ever since he burst onto the scene in the 1990s. His rhyme schemes, flows, delivery, and attention to detail, are his biggest strengths, making him a technical wonder. To give some more background on the man, he is a signee of Slaughterhouse. The other artists that formed that group are Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, and Royce Da 5’9″. Additionally, he is the CEO of his own record labels, Dynasty Entertainment and C.O.B. Digital, and the Senior Vice President of Treacherous Records.

On top of all of that, he also has his longstanding and successful solo rap career. He has worked with a whole host of amazing rappers such as Eminem, Tupac, and Snoop Dogg. But, he has also teamed up with current-day artists such as Russ on his EP, Chomp. Now, Crooked is back with a YouTube-only single called “TEDDY.”

KXNG Crooked Goes OFF

On this cut, the emcee is rapping while narrating a story of a boy named Teddy who was born an innocent boy. But as he got older he began to get addicted to drugs such as Percocet, and Lean, among others. He claims that he sat down with “Teddy” and he told his life story. After that, Crooked said he was going to write this song for him because he believed that he can win his battle against addiction. Sure enough, he did, and its a touching but aggressive banger that gets you hyped and feels like you can conquer any inner demons.

Quotable Lyrics:

In Newport Beach he was such a bundle of joy
Playin' with puzzles and toys
He wasn't a troublesome boy
Grew up with Mexican nannies under his mother's employ

The post KXNG Crooked Drops A Story Of Overcoming Drug Addiction On “TEDDY” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Kid Cudi has always been multi-talented, making his acting debut in How To Make It In America the same year he dropped his debut album, Man On The Moon: The End Of Day. His acting career turned out to be no fluke or passing fancy; he’s since gone on to appear in more than 20 feature films including the recently released horror flick X, as well as taking on a slew of roles for TV including his Netflix series Entergalactic and Kids See Ghosts, both of which are currently in post-production.

Now, Cudi will add feature film director to his extensive, growing resume with Teddy, a film project with Netflix that he also wrote and will star in. In a lengthy Instagram post explaining its origin, evolution, and concept. He also thanked the film’s co-producers, who include Jay-Z, James Lassiter, and The Harder They Fall Director Jeymes Samuel (lotta Jameses there, eh?). Jay-Z, of course, executive produced The Harder They Fall with Samuel (aka The Bullitts), while James Lassiter is best known as the co-founder of Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment and also co-produced The Harder They Fall, as well as King Richard.

“This year im directing my first feature film ‘Teddy’ at Netflix which I wrote and will also be starring,” he wrote. “This is a story I started writing in 2013 because I always wanted to write my own movie, so I said f*ck it and started doing it. The road has been long, from it being a tv show for years to finally being a film… I cant wait for u all to meet Teddy, his friends, his family and take a walk in his world for a bit. If I could sum up what the movie is about in one sentence, id say this: It’s as if I took the song ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ and wrote a movie about it.”

So far, there’s no release date for Teddy, but stay tuned.
