I gotta put Peedi Crakk in one of those guilty pleasure categories. I don’t thing he’s the most gifted emcee at all but for some reason that I can’t put my finger on he’s very entertaining to me which I guess is why we dig music in the first place. Anyway he’s bounced to the Music Label 2.0, Amalgam Digital and causing a stir on the hip hop circuit. From press release posted on UGHH.com:

“After five years, North Philly rapper Peedi Crakk has parted ways with Roc-A-Fella Records in favor of booming independent, Amalgam Digital. The tech-savvy company responsible for launching hip hop’s first genre specific digital retail store attracted Peedi with their innovative business model and creatively fostering environment. Peedi Crakk joins a roster made up of both commercially successful artists and underground hip hop icons, including Grammy-nominee Joe Budden, Kurious, Tash (of Tha Alkaholiks), and the Juggaknots. His highly anticipated debut album Camel Face Hunting Season, will be released in September 2008.”

“When asked about his new relationship with Amalgam Digital, Peedi made the following statement:
‘Yup. I’m back! And I feel unstoppable. My flow is advanced and as an artist, I’m getting better, especially without the claws of Roc-A-Fella digging at my back. I’ve been a free agent for the past 3 months and now signing with the Amalgam Digital label for my first project I feel even more unstoppable. They are providing exactly what Peedi always needed… proper promotion and distribution. BANG! It’s Camel Face Hunting Season’”

Ahhhh the third person references. Gotta love them. Look for “Camel Face Hunting Season” to street sometime in 4th quarter.
