Dubcnn.com, The "Westcoast News Network" was created in 2002. In 2001, having been a fan of the genre that is Hip-Hop, Duncan Rutherford (Rud) joined the then newly established "West Coast Affiliates Forum" and by 2002 had decided along with Forum Administrator Overseer to create what became dubcnn.

The Vision

To create an outlet for existing artists, new artists, labels, producers and companies that we're being isolated to some extent by other outlets. To introduce a new kind of online magazine, one which kept things simple, one which could slowly and steadily make a difference to a genre which was often ignored.

The result saw the collaboration of the, "West Coast Connection Forum" and the integration under the Rollin' On Dubs Network. Since September 8th 2002 when the site went live we have been working to make this the #1 online resource for your west coast hip-hop needs.

The Future

Along with the new site design we are proud to unfold a new chapter in dubcnn's history. Lil Jay, the owner of WestCoast2K.net a site which has been working hard for the same cause since 1999 has joined with dubcnn to work with us in the pursuit of our goals. So now you really do have a one-stop site to get all your news, interviews, audio, reviews and much more. Lil Jay brings not only a wealth of experience but also his vast array of content and design skills as is evident in this new design. This is another massive step forward for not only the westcoast but hip-hop as a whole.

And so 2006 ushers in a new era, one where we will continue to bring you the very latest news, audio and interviews as we already have but also increase our turnover of content, bring you live music events across the world and strive to continually build on what we have established.


We would like to thank everyone involved in dubcnn from its beginning through to present day and we all thank you, the visitors, for your continued support and recognition. Without every single one of you we would not be able to do what we do.
