Fresh off the heels of multiple #1 iTunes Hip-Hop hits, Cris O-D has officially entered his most ambitious era yet. Today, the artist released his latest high-octane single, “Run It Up,” featuring Bridgeport’s own Showly, while simultaneously pulling back the curtain on his highly anticipated upcoming album, :To: La Femme Nikita with Love:.

​The new single, “Run It Up,” captures two of Connecticut’s most influential voices at the top of their game. Showly, who is currently celebrating the release of his massive joint project with Tye Henney, Dead by 5AM—an album already being hailed as a landmark moment for the CT rap scene—brings a relentless energy that perfectly complements Cris O-D’s seasoned, chart-topping flow.

​However, the momentum doesn’t stop there. Cris O-D has officially confirmed that his forthcoming album, :To: La Femme Nikita with Love:, will feature a “who’s who” of hip-hop royalty. The project is set to include legendary guest appearances from Jadakiss, Juelz Santana,Styles P and frequent collaborator Curren$y. By aligning with these industry titans, Cris O-D is cementing his position as a bridge between the classic East Coast sound and the modern independent movement.

​”The talent is certified—the music speaks for itself,” says Cris O-D. “Working with legends like Kiss and Juelz, and linking with Showly while he’s making history for CT, shows that this isn’t just about music anymore. It’s about a legacy.”
​With four Top 5 iTunes singles already under his belt, including #1 hits “Crooked” and “GVNG,” Cris O-D is no longer just a contender—he is a cornerstone.

​”Run It Up” (feat. Showly) is available now on all streaming platforms.
