Legendary Juice Crew MC Craig G has released his new single and video, 'The Okey Doke'. Over a mid tempo track Craig G discusses the state of the rap industry.
"Many rappers say things they don't have the heart to do/And start to believe their own hype, but here's the darker truth/ Corporations encourage these antics that are reckless/ They got a checklist,destruction's part of their prospectus/ One rapper dies they get a brand new sparkling/ Victim cause rap beef's a big part of marketing."
"The Okey Doke" is the first single from Craig's upcoming album, The World Is Cooked, which is due in November. The 12 song project is produced by The Manorail, and features KRS-ONE, Chubb Rock, Freeway, B-Real, and more.
Craig G is one of the earliest members of Marley Marl's legendary Juice Crew collective of MC's. His early Marley Marl produced releases on Philadelphia independent label Pop Art are amongst some of the first Juice Crew recordings.
His later work with Marley includes "Droppin' Science", and "The Symphony" from Marley's In Control compilation, which was released 36 years ago today (9/20). Craig G has also released The Kingpin, Now That's More Like It, and This is Now. Craig G is also a contributing writer on Eminem's film, 8 Mile.
