The Philly MC first signed to Roc-a-Fella Records in 2001 with the help of Freeway, a friend of Peedi since high school who had already joined the label through Beanie Sigel and his State Property entourage. In 2002, Peedi's debut single, "One for Peedi Crakk," charted in the R&B/hip-hop Top 40. He continued to make appearances on various Roc-a-Fella albums, including Jay-Z's The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse and Freeway's Philadelphia Freeway. His guest appearances were usually standouts, and his mixtapes gave him a reputation among East Coast rap fans. Faced with increasing exposure, the Philly rapper decided to modify his rap name to Peedi Peedi.

However, in 2005, two problems greatly affected Peedi's career. State Property dissolved, and Roc-a-Fella Records formally split into two. Jay-Z remaining at Def Jam with 50 percent, and Roc-a-Fella co-founder Dame Dash taking the other 50 percent to Universal Records under his Dame Dash Music Group. Peedi refused to side with Sigel and Dame Dash, and was briefly a free agent until Jay-Z, who soon became the president of Def Jam and maintained the Roc-a-Fella catalogue at the label, signed him. Peedi began working on a debut album, but it was continuously delayed. He did, however, release one single, "Take Me Home," in 2007. Peedi became at odds with the label over his album, and tensions developed between him and Jay-Z. Peedi decided to lashed out against the executive/rapper in the press and leaked several Jay-Z diss tracks, before he was released from his contract in 2008. Peedi then signed with Internet-based label Amalgam Digital and released Camel Face Hunting Season later in 2008.

Peedi Crakk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And you know me, I'm outta the ordinary
I'm rather extraordinary My
Diamonds is augumery
We gettin' money - genius and I
Continue to get the paper
So won't you mind your business
Don't be a fin' hater
"P Crakk i need that" You got the remedy

You look surprised
Ma i got to refreshen your memory
Que tu quiere mujere? Tell me what you want
But before I could blow a line
Baby lit up the Brand New Funk

Now, now, now, if you bump me by accident
You know what's gonna happen
I'm a tell Charlie Mack and he
Gon' smack your halfway across
Broad and Allegheny no Alize and Henney
Just Don P and strawberries
For the hottest ladies
You gotta a body baby yo Jazzy Jeff
How you ridin' baby?
Yo Jeff, you think she got
It? "yeah, she got it, peedi"
Whoa, she make me wanna "get get down"
But before this party get started
Let your boy hit the Brand New Funk
P crakk, Philly, who wanna rumble wit' me?
But so what Young Buck ain't nothing to me
I got fullys, semi-auty's it's on homey
I brought armor for drama you
Ain't got nothin' for me
Go in my zone when I write
It's not surprising
You hear my flow and wanna
Bite my only option's
To dust the dirt off my
Shoulders - it's Rocafella
I hope you know by now I
Ride with Hov ns is jealous
When they see me in a Bentley
Pirellis sittin in suspension on 26's
Blowing me kisses my forces is crooked
The Cris is just as cold as my wristes
Stockin' cork for the that continue
To keep on sippin'
It's the prince of the Roc jazzy
Jeff got the beat locked
I learned the switch from Will
Smith i need not
To explain why I gotta front it's not a game
Grab a Philly Blunt and fill it
Up wit' the Brand New Funk

First the original
Then here come some North Philly chemical
With Peedi the imperial prince
Through your stereo
Stupid i get paid for conversation
It's easy
But I see you're having complicatons
Get it together you ain't
Never gon' be better
Got it sewn like a sweater
Make you ruffle up your feathers
Keep pulling a publicity stunt

I'm slap your silly
With that North Philly Brand New Funk
