Recently Houston Rapper Nook da Crook released his music video for his remake of the classic Lil Flip song, “The Way We Ball.” Repping Houston, Texas to the fullest with this throwback Olojuwon jersey, Nook Da Crook makes an instant classic out of an already classic record.
“I just dropped my album called The Biggest Crook and the lead single on the project is The Way We Ball. I brought back the Lil Flip classic, and I got his backing and full support,” Nook Da Crook said. “We went all out, we got Flip in the video, he’s passing the torch and rocking with it. We had all the people come out Sunday funday, BBQ and the cars and the slab line.”
Bred on the Southside of Houston, Nook Da Crook, grew up seeing Fat Pat and Big Hawk in the neighborhood and it inspired him to follow in their footsteps.
“I’m from the Southside Houston, I’m the best of both worlds. I caught the wave of the real lyricists and a lot of the dope rappers in the game, I also caught the what’s going on now wave, my style is blended with the delivery and punchlines. I got lyrics like I’m from up north though,” Nook Da Crook explained. “Fat Pat and Big Hawk (RIP) are from my hood, I watched them as I was growing up. When I was a kid they used to come through passing out shirts, CDs, and flyers, so ever since I was I kid this is what I wanted to do. “
