Chicago OG lyricist Twista just dropped off new heat called “Baddest,” a thumping, swirling track from the upcoming project. Featuring a rhythmic hook from 2 Chainz signee Cap 1, Twista slows down his superhuman flow into an authoritative cadence as he expounds in great detail about the types of girls with whom he prefers to spend his time.
Produced by Zaytoven, the track is a rich tapestry of eerie keyboards, horror movie strings, and thumping bass, “Baddest” is the first single from Twista’s new project, Crook County, releasing in July via EMPIRE/GMG Entertainment.
Twista broke down his latest fire, explaining, “Cap 1 was the inspiration behind ‘Baddest.’ He came up with the hook while we were chilling at Zaytoven’s crib listening to a beat he was playing. It was totally spontaneous. Cap is from Chi and he put the sauce on it that I needed for my project! Zay is one of the hottest in the game and has made many hits, but I seem to easily be able to come up with songs to his music.
Crook County is the title from a song I had before, but today, I just feel it represents the area where I am. We are in the county of crooks and everybody knows it! Not glorifying, just is what it is. We’re always glorifying Chicago in positive ways, as well, and will have future titles representing the city in other aspect which are positive. You have to stay consistent in this game today or you will be out of mind. I still love music so I want people to hear where I am creatively and keep the the Twista legacy going.”
Building upon the radio hit “Next To You,” featuring Jeremih, Twista’s Crook County project will showcasehis trademark double-time flow over a variety of soulful, sinister instrumentals.
