West Coast ’96

KXNG Crooked

2026

Built around memories of Long Beach during the mid-1990s, “West Coast ’96” captures a time when the region was overflowing with influential artists and landmark releases.

Rather than simply celebrating nostalgia, Crooked places himself in that moment, revisiting the ambition, competition, and hunger that fueled his early years as an aspiring emcee in the pivotal era that helped shape both his career and the sound of West Coast hip-hop.
