So when people hear it, they are like ‘Man, that’s that sound … I know something sounds familiar,’ so I want to re-introduce my fans to that sound again. And that’s the song that I did on Adrenaline Rush that was very popular. “It’s produced by the same producer, Legendary Trackster, and also this song has a ‘Get It Wet’ vibe to it. “A real fan that pays attention to my music will think of whatever they were doing when my first album Adrenaline Rush came out,” the rapper said, referring to the single.
“Wetter,” the sequel to his 1997 hit single “Get It Wet,” is the first single off Category F5. How much damage can Twista’s own Category F5 do? With tracks produced by Jim Jonsin, Swizz Beatz, Traxster, as well as features such as Busta Rhymes, Akon, Bobby Valentino, Young Jeezy, and his Midwest brethren Kanye West, among others, the music industry is bound to get dark, gloomy, and very windy. “It says all of that and I felt like that was in the whole scheme of Kamikaze, Adrenaline Rush, Twista and what I’m about.” “The definition of it says it’s a category of a twister where it throws cars though the air like bullets and it rips the bark off of trees, it tears down the foundations of homes,” Twista tells BallerStatus when describing his seventh solo album. The answer lies in the aftermath of his June 16th release titled Category F5. But where will Twista take us this time? Will he give fans an Adrenaline Rush or will they feel the aftershock of The Day After album? Kelly, Kanye West, Pitbull, Trey Songz and even Elephant Man.Īfter a nearly two-year hiatus, since his last solo album Adrenaline Rush 2007, Twista is back to grace us with his tongue twisting raps and dexterity. Although it’s been two years since his last release, the rapper has stayed busy, appearing on various records with the likes of R. It wasn’t that long ago when Twista’s saturated the airwaves with hits like “Slow Jamz”, “Overnight Celebrity”, and “Girl Tonight”. Although most established artists change and tweak their styles to bend with the ever-evolving music scene, Twista’s formula has remained the same.
So as a show of good faith, Twista dubs his latest effort Adrenaline Rush 2007.The music industry has been swamped with the auto-tune, southern bass-heavy songs accompanied with dance routines, hipster lyrics, a tightened dress code and lackluster lyrical content. Although the disc went gold, its saccharine sound rubbed die-hard fans the wrong way.
In his eagerness to keep the mainstream love going, the Windy City wordsmith oversaturated his next project, The Day After, with R&B duets and pop production. Containing Kanye West’s smash hit “Slow Jamz,” the album earned Twista his first platinum plaque. After a pair of projects with the Speedknot Mobstaz-1998’s Mobstability and 1999’s Legit Ballin’-Twista got tied up in a tug-of-war with Atlantic and Roc-A-Fella Records that delayed his Kamikaze LP ’til 2004. Unfortunately, his career has been plagued by numerous false starts. But it was his major-label debut, 1997’s Adrenaline Rush, that catapulted the Chi-Town MC into the national spotlight. Living up to his old Guinness Book of World Records title of the fastest rapper in the world, Twista has been delivering rapid-fire bars since his 1991 indie disc Runnin’ Off at Da Mouth.
