Kut One Takes Aim at Social Media Egos on “It’s Bad”
An audience can make an ego harder to manage. On “It’s Bad,” Australian producer Kut One brings Cydney Poitier and Craig G together for a single centered on inflated self-importance and the distorted realities people build around social media.
Released November 13 through Chopping Block Records, the collaboration connects Orlando’s Cydney Poitier of Da Hoodzmen with Queensbridge’s Craig G of the Juice Crew. The official release notes place modern egotism at the center of their message, a timely subject in a culture where visibility can become its own measure of worth.
That premise gives “It’s Bad” a clear point of entry: what happens when the image someone projects starts taking precedence over the life behind it? The record’s stated focus invites listeners to question the distance between public attention and personal substance. Hip-Hop has always made room for confidence; this collaboration turns the conversation toward the illusions that can surround it.

Kut One and Craig G also have an established working connection. Craig G appeared alongside J-Live on “Teach The Children,” from Kut One’s Live Wires 4. “It’s Bad” extends that relationship while bringing Cydney Poitier’s Orlando connection into the picture.
The accompanying artwork places the title above a distressed protest collage, with signs addressing corruption, accountability, and economic pressure. Its wider social imagery gives the release a confrontational visual identity without needing to explain the song on its behalf.
Kut One handles production, Cydney Poitier and Craig G supply the lyrics, and Ciecmate handles mixing and mastering. The Bandcamp edition also includes an instrumental. Listen to “It’s Bad” below and consider how much of the online world runs on the need to be seen.
