While browsing instagram the other day (a lil over a week ago) I noticed something. I came across the producer, rapper, hip-hop icon, Psycho Les of the legendary Beatnuts on IG as he announced that he has formed a new duo/super group with none other than another rap God, Jeru The Damaja, calling themselves The Funky Pandas. I immediately commented that this is great news to people such as myself, but most of my peers 1st off aren’t even aware that Jeru & Les have been still at it working nonstop since their major record label days now as indie artists. Beatnuts and Jeru stay on the road mostly overseas to the point where Jeru lives out in Germany as we speak.

In the new video for “Too Ashamed,” KXNG Crooked details his struggles with alcoholism and the self-doubt that accompanies that fight.

Here’s Crooked on the track:

“More than a few people have told me that the first time they heard ‘Too Ashamed’ it moved them to tears because it reminded them of their struggles with sobriety. They also said the song motivates them to keep fighting the good fight. Those testaments are the reason I continue to make music. Some things are more important to me than awards and accolades.”
