Dep<\/strong> and <strong>Kurious<\/strong> for a tough new single, \u201cAdaptive,\u201d that\u2019s low-key been in the works since 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The story behind this track is that it began to take shape more than a decade ago when G. Dep and Kurious had met at one of <strong>Tony Touch\u2019s<\/strong> Funkbox events in NYC. The two chopped it up, hit it off, and decided to collaborate on a track, which led to G. Dep sending over his verse. The problem was that this was shortly before he turned himself in for a botched robbery attempt that turned deadly in 1993, which would mark the start of an 11 year bid that was commuted in December 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t sure about releasing it like that, when he was gone,\u201d\u00a0Kurious said about the verse.\u00a0\u201cSo when he came back, we had to let it out!\u201d\u00a0This led to the emcee sharing the record with Team Demo, who linked with frequent collaborator <strong>Yogi<\/strong> to add a hook and flesh it out into a full song. The result is a dope bit of hip-hop history\u2014and a hell of a single as well. \u201cAdaptive\u201d is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms. The track is a loosie and not affiliated with a larger body of work, but be sure to check out Team Demo\u2019s 2023 release, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_meYFKkT7zhmLDkU1Sm8QeRJ_9IOK1utuM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a Demo.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>You can also listen to &#8220;Adaptive&#8221; on all <a href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/adaptive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">major DSP&#8217;s<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"202967\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/team-demo-x-g-dep-x-kurious-adaptive\/team-demo-adaptive-thumbnail\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Team-Demo-Adaptive-Thumbnail.png?fit=1920%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Team Demo Adaptive Thumbnail\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Team-Demo-Adaptive-Thumbnail.png?fit=540%2C304&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Team-Demo-Adaptive-Thumbnail.png?fit=640%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-202967\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Team-Demo-Adaptive-Thumbnail.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"   srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Team-Demo-Adaptive-Thumbnail.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Team-Demo-Adaptive-Thumbnail.png?resize=540%2C304&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Team-Demo-Adaptive-Thumbnail.png?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Team-Demo-Adaptive-Thumbnail.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Team-Demo-Adaptive-Thumbnail.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Team-Demo-Adaptive-Thumbnail.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Producer crew Team Demo enlist the talents of NY rap vets G.
