1189147937 - January 1, 1970 By : Just over a month ago we reported that Shade Sheist & N.U.N.E were heading to Japan in August to appear at a host of shows across the country [see; Shade Sheist & N.U.N.E Head East To Japan For August Shows].
The duo recently returned and informed us of a successful trip and event that saw them rock sold out shows; "We just got back from Japan and it was huge success. Our venue sold-out, we sold all our merchandise and we set the tone for next month's Ice Cube and WC concert in Japan," explained Shade Sheist.
Shade continued; "We have been invited back out for more shows this year, so we will keep you posted on the dates. While we were out there we hooked out with one of Japan's more popular Hip Hop artists, "Two-J" and we will be collaborating on a project to be released through Universal Music Japan."
He also told us that they are currently in talks to release their fashion line "Hands-On Clothing" in Japan. In other news Shade Sheist also informed us that he ran into Butch Cassidy and Damizza, who were also in Japan performing at a seperate venue, and got to talk before they caught a flight - suffice it to say that the much discussed Damizza and Shade Sheist feud is over, much to the delight of their sets of fans.
We have a set of photos from the event as well as some video that Shade Sheist and the Put Yourself Out family have provided. The videos can be seen here while the pictures can be viewed in our exclusive Event Gallery link below.

1189267751 - January 1, 1970 By : Those who are part of our Forum Community as well as listeners to the PYO Radio show on Swurv Radio will already be aware of the recent alignment of the Put Yourself Out and Aftermath Records camps.
The new union has seen the release of a track featuring PYO's Shade Sheist and N.U.N.E. alongside Aftermath's Bishop Lamont and Stat Quo. The track, entitled "Lights Out" is being hailed as another street single building towards Bishop Lamont's highly anticipated debut album, "The Reformation," which as we reported last week is being readied for an early 2008 release.
Although streaming rips and DJ copies have been leaking out across outlets online, today we have the official release of that track courtesy of the people at PYO Entertainment. "Lights Out," which is produced by another Aftermath representer; Focus, can be downloaded below.
Bishop Lamont - Lights Out (Feat. Shade Sheist, N.U.N.E. & Stat Quo) (Produced By Focus)
On the back of this new found affiliation the Put Yourself Out team recorded the most recent editon of their acclaimed video series From Yo Hood with Bishop Lamont. The feature, which is titled "Westcoast Reunion" features Shade Sheist, N.U.N.E., Bishop Lamont, Noni Spitz, Prime, Diverse and also Damizza - who, those of you who read yesterdays PYO In Japan update will know, recently met up with Shade Sheist and put to rest prior issues.

1199052965 - January 1, 1970 By : Few independent labels have acheived what PutYourselfOut have managed to do over the past few years. From countless projects, to touring and more the organisation has built a reputation for quality across the board. With 2007 now at an end Shade Sheist and PutYourselfOut wanted to give our readers a headsup on what is to come in 2008 and rest assured their reputation is only set to increase with what is to come!
First up for 2008 sees Shade Sheist and his Partner In Rhyme N.U.N.E. head to Canada for a Tour being put on by Dubcnn Featured Haze Entertainment.
The rest of the first quarter will see the duo also hit Taiwan and the UK as part of their heavy touring plans for 2008.
In terms of recording Shade Sheist and N.U.N.E. have been in the studio recording with Glasses Malone, Bishop Lamont, Stat Quo and Y.A. (Tri-Star, Roscoe, Slo Stallone) for their long awaited "Movin Units" project that is now set to drop in 2008, the lead single will be premiered soon as entitled "Movin Like A Boss" produced by James Brown. As if that wasn't enough the two have already signed to J-Steez to release a sophomore project soon after that will see J-Steez producing the entire album. The first single from that release has just been completed and is called "Table Dance" featuring Eddie Kane Jr as well as a remix with XL Middleton.
In terms of solo projects, Shade Sheist has just started his third album while both Eddie Kane Jr and N.U.N.E. are finishing up their respective albums.
Regular Dubcnn visitors will be familiar with the PYO From Yo Hood video series that has been appearing on YouTube. PYO are now in talks with both VH1 and The E! Channel to take the project further under the title "Making The Comeback."
To wrap up - and this may be last but is by no means least - Shade Sheist and the PutYourselfOut family are proud to announce that they are taking over the world next year - literally - PYO will be releasing the world's first "WorldTape" in 2008 - what is a "WorldTape" you ask?
Well in an era when most artists are releasing mixtapes and Street Albums, Shade Sheist is compiling his greatest features, productions and exclusive never before heard music and droppin it for free in the United States. What's so original about that you may ask? Well under the title "WorldTape" Shade Sheist is going global by creating an editon for every major country in the world?
His recent silence from releasing new material has been the result of working with major artists and producers around the world in various countries to release the first "WorldTape" entitled "Out of Sight Out of Mind" - the cover to which can be seen in full by clicking the new image above. "Out of Sight Out of Mind," which is due for release in January 2008, will be the first in the "WorldTape" series that will eventually see versions appear for Japan, Canada, Italy, South America, UK, Germany and countless more. This is a completely new vision and Dubcnn and its readers are involved from the start.
We are calling out to any artists or producers from any country that want to be involved to come forward and get involved in this game-changing, world-impacting, promotion-heavy project. Get involved today by contacting theworldtape@aol.com.
It wouldn't be right if we dropped all this information without some fresh new audio and in true Dubcnn style we have a single from next months first "WorldTape" - "Out of Sight Out of Mind." The track sees Shade Sheist linked back up with Damizza (on production) and features previously Dubcnn Featured LeMarvin.

1219446406 - January 1, 1970 By : As we all know, there's basically two ways to remix a song: Either rappers can jump on a song, or a producer can take an acapella and put a new beat to the song. But it's not too often that we get both. But Shade Shiest and C Infamous have taken time out of their busy schedules to add new fire to Mariah Carey's "Lovin You Long Time". As far as remixes go, we're getting the best of both worlds on this one. C-Infamous created new music for the song, while Shade layed down a couple verses. This isn't the first time Shade has been on a track with Mariah, he was also featured on the Japanese release of Charmbracelet. Check out the song below:
Mariah Carey feat. Shade Shiest "Lovin You Long Time" (C Infamous ReLit)
The song is already getting radio play in Vancouver, and should be appearing on LA radio stations soon. Make sure to check out C Infamous & Shade Sheist on myspace. And stay tuned to hear more music from both of them.

1088535771 - January 1, 1970 By : The Pedestrian is walkin’ it like he talks it on this hookladen, jeep ready album slated for release by Blak Ice Records. Third Degree, who hails from South Central Los Angeles, grew up living right around the corner from Dub C of Westside Connection. “I went to Hiphop High,” says Third. “Washington High School was where I came up. A lot of hiphop people have gone there, like Dub C, Crazy Tunes from The Maad Circle, YoYo, DJ Alladin, and Sir Jinx, who DJ’s for Xzibit, and more. Crenshaw High may have had the sports people locked up, but Washington has had the music people.” Third Degree is destined to be the next hiphop alumni to speak with authority.
With rhymes constantly flowing out of every pore of his being, Third is definitely at no loss for words. The album, which is largely produced by the musically eloquent Yabie, is tightly packed with 21 serious tracks, including the runaway single “Do My Thang.” This quotable album is consistent all the way through, with no fillers or throwaway tracks. “I like real writers who have subjects and topics,” he professes. “I’m a purist kind of guy.” Third points out that Yabie’s work “sounded like music, it didn’t just sound like beats. He had a whole band of people available to play guitar, bass, all that. He thinks in a very musical way.” In this manner, he compares Yabie to DJ Quik. “He’s got a unique style. I can’t quite figure out his formula.” The single, "Do My Thang," will be out soon.
The battle-ready rapper’s name came his basketball days. “We called ourselves the Burn Unit,” he says. “We had names like Thermostat, Third Degree and Lava Rock.” Third’s government name is Wayne Guillory. “Like guillotine. It’s French,” he explains. “All my people come from Louisiana.” Either way, the world is his. It’s Wayne’s world, as he’s young, gifted and black, and prolific to an extreme.
His father was a coach, who lost his life to cancer. “My mom was real concerned about me after he died. That year, she asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I told her. Had my father lived, I would have definitely not gotten those turntables!” he reminisces, shaking his head with a smile. Third became obsessed with hiphop with gospel-like devotion, and he began interpreting the world through the mind of a rhymesman. It seemed that every event in life was suddenly transformed into a searing rhyme by the verbal prodigy.
The prolific Third notes, “The single “Do My Thang” is a way to introduce me to people. I felt it was representative of where I was coming from. It lets people know a couple things about me, and I feel it describes me,” explains Third.
“My raps give people another view of Los Angeles. People who don’t live here think it’s all either gangbanging or Hollywood. L.A. is not all about being a gangsta. I just wanted to make this record about the regular person in L.A,” he concedes. Third believes there’s a lot of pressure to rap about banging, because some of the earlier great L.A. rappers before them. “People who don’t even gangbang,” he points out. “I think rappers should talk about what they do. If you gangbang and you rap, talk about gangbangin’ in your rap. If you sell crack all day, talk about selling crack all day. Whatever it is that is you. That’s what “Do My Thang” is all about. Just be yourself. If it’s you, do it. If not, don’t do it.” He adds, “Some of my best friends bang. But that’s them. It just never occurred to me to do that.”
As far as his home front, Third’s neighborhood is well-known for being Crips territory. “NHC, Neighborhood Crips. Them and Watergate Crips. They’re kind of borderline,” he observes. “Slip from Comptons Most Wanted, he stayed in the Watergate for a while. As far as the NHC, Dub C, Cube and Crazy Tunes stayed there.” He comments that there’s just one little street that separates everybody.
The intersection on the album’s cover is the nearby corner of Imperial and Western. However, in many ways, Third’s songs reflect corners all over the country, so his rhymes hit home with those who are both near and far.
Jay Z and Ice-T may have “99 Problems,” but Third says he has “Problems” of his own. “The reason I wrote the song “Problems” is that for some reason, people always come talk to me about things they need to get off their chest. So I listen a lot. One day I was arguing with my mother, and that was one of the things that came out. I’m not saying don’t talk to me about your problems. I’m just saying come back in a while, because I have mine to figure out.” Some of Third’s own deepest, personal predicaments are revealed in the song, including the fact he has a handicapped brother.
The inspired “Stylistic” is one of Third’s favorite tracks on the album. “I was listening to “Betcha By Golly Wow,” and I like to make up words to songs, so that’s how that came about. It’s basically telling people I have a new style here in L.A.,” says Third. “I studied niggas’ style and found what not to do, it’s the total opposite, I rock it better than you, whoever you are niggas bite and get trophies, a Grammy for their best Tupac on Karaoke.”
“Hit This 40” is a party song, and it’s also an anti-gold diggers song. Its 40 proof melody came about much in the same way, but it comes from a Chaka Khan song called “Night In Tunisia,” which Third used that part for the song’s chorus. Going even deeper, he explains, “It’s actually a remake of a Coltrane song or something like that she was doing.”
Observes Third, “The culture of Los Angeles is gangs, and people get influenced by it a lot, like the white t-shirts and all, so it definitely isn’t all hip hop here. However, I can take you to places here that are definitely hiphop. But yes, a lot of it is gang culture here. People in the parks out here aren’t breaking and rapping against each other; it’s probably drinking and smoking weed, and a fight is going to break out any minute. But still, there is definitely a hiphop community in this city.” The disc’s determined track “The One” is Third’s way of saying, “I’m entirely here for hiphop.”
With “Favorite Shade Of Brown,” it’s all good, and love comes in all shades to Third.
“Eye Candy” features Pupa Don, one of the illest West Coast dancehall cats.
There are a slew of other radio driven songs on the album, and the Pedestrian is no doubt, walking tall. You’re now at that intersection of hiphop beats and masterful rhymes, as the Pedestrian is making his way through your speakers.

1091484009 - January 1, 1970 By : We all know West Coast Hip Hop has been strugglin' to get exposure for the past couple of years. This musical slump might have many different reasons, it might be the artists not putting out top notch music, or the industry intentionally blackballing the West Coast...
One thing's for sure though, we want this to change. And this is why DubCNN, the West Coast News Network, is teaming up with Enexes, your Entertainment Gateway. Together, we're going to start a new movement, and it's in motion as we speak. The A&R of Enexes, Frank Nitty, who many of you might know as THE man behind everything going on on the West Coast, is recruiting an army of soldiers, hungry to record new music. Not just the same shit you've been hearing over and over. But some FRESH music.
Dileone, the CEO of Enexes.com, is backing the movement by providing us with the studio, where Goldie Loc from Tha Eastsidaz has eagerly been recording for the past few months along with the legendary Chocolate and many more. I'm not going to disclose too much about the new projects, as it's still in the beginning stages, but we will be having regular updates, right here on DubCNN.com, so stay tuned.
Now on to the alliance between Enexes and DubCNN. We're taking HipHop on the internet to the next level. If you aren't hip to Enenex yet, hit up www.enexesartists.com and check it out. If you're an independent artist and are trying to get cracking on the internet, this is for you. Enexes offers you a website, including store and everything. With the Enexes profile, everybody can know who you are, what you do or what you're trying to do, with just a few clicks. And they will be able to buy your music, right there.
This is new age promotion. You control it, not a label. And that's how it's supposed to be. We're going to give you a more indepth view on the future developments, so make sure to check back right here on DubCNN real soon.
I know we've been kinda slow with the updates and interviews in the past few weeks, but believe me, you're not prepared for what's about to come. I'm not even gonna spoil it for you, just sit back and watch, DubCNN is gonna bring you more than just news and interviews on the West Coast. We're gonna have it in a way where you're going to feel like you're RIGHT THERE, watching every step of what's happening of the West Coast, wether you live in Australia, Japan, Russia, New York, or in L.A.
It's about to be big, oh boy!

Dubcnn got the chance to ask all the questions that fans world wide, from Japan, Eroupe and straight back to their famed city of Downtown Los Angeles. Dubcnn asked questions about the past, present, future and everyting in between.
This exclusive interview was about an hour and some change, I asked everything from the highly anticipated Mixtape turned album called Sick Symphonies Presents: SickSide Stories that will be released this June, along with other prjects, like The Black Havana Tribe. Of course we had to touch the subject of Big Duke's condition and surprises he has in the works. Street Platoon's new album, I even took it back to the "Chicano Pride" days. We also spoke about B-Real rumors, tours, their clothing lines, and what’s next for Sick Symphonies!

1112647358 - January 1, 1970 By : The third installment of the Anger Management tour will be on the road beginning July 7, it was announced today. This will be the first tour Eminem has done since the November 12 release of his latest album, Encore, which is approaching five-times platinum sales in the U.S.
Joining Eminem on tour for all but the first two dates is 50 Cent, whose new album, The Massacre was released on March 8, and has already sold almost 3 million copies. This is the first U.S. tour that pairs Eminem with partner in rhyme 50 Cent. Like Eminem and his Shady Records family, this will be a family affair for 50, with G-Unit joining him on the road. 50 Cent is just beginning to shoot his film debut, and due to the movie's production schedule he will be unable to appear at the first two dates, Indianapolis, IN and Columbus, OH. Ludacris will be taking his slot for those shows. King of Crunk Lil Jon along with his East Side Boyz will start of the night off right for the entire tour.
"We've been waiting for the right moment to go on tour, and it all finally came together," said Eminem. "We wanted to put together the best lineup we could...I'm always trying to top the last tour whenever I go out. I think we're really doing it this time."
Eminem's entire Shady Records family will be on the road with him for the five and a half week run. Besides hearing songs from Encore performed live for the first time, concertgoers will see performances from D-12, Obie Trice, and the newest addition to the family, Atlanta's Stat Quo, who recently signed to Shady/Aftermath and is already creating a buzz at press and radio. Shady artist and award-winning mixtape king Green Lantern will, as usual, be behind the turntables.
50 Cent added: "Whenever I get together with Em you know it's going to be hot. Right now, I don't see anything that will stop this from being the tour of the summer. You better put in for that time off from the job now, before somebody else beats you to it. Or quit your job so you can see every show."
Those who can't quit their jobs can tune in to Sirius Satellite Radio's Shade 45 channel all summer long for tour coverage, exclusive live performances, and backstage interviews. Also coming this summer is the DVD from 2002's Anger Management tour, which features live performances from Eminem and D-12.
The tour will wrap in Detroit with two shows at the home of the Detroit Tigers, Comerica Park. These shows promise to be as legendary as the one-off hometown show at Detroit's Ford Field in 2003. Dates are as follows:
July 7 - Indianapolis, IN - Verizon Wireless Music Center
July 8 - Columbus, OH - Germaine Amphitheater
July 11,12 - Chicago, IL - Tweeter Center

1119384148 - January 1, 1970 By : June 20, 2005 (Los Angeles, CA) Multi-platinum rap producer DJ Muggs has joined forces with critically acclaimed hip-hop duo Self-Scientific and formed a new label, Angeles Records. Angeles is the latest addition to Fontana Distribution, the independent distribution division of Universal Music Group (UMG), the world’s leading music company. Initial releases will include DJ Muggs vs. GZA, a unique collaboration between Muggs and Wu Tang Clan’s GZA. The second release, Change, is the much-anticipated follow-up LP by one of LA’s most talented, but underexposed groups, Self-Scientific. Both albums are due out in October.
“The industry has changed profoundly over the past decade,” explains Chace, the MC of Self-Scientific, about why they decided to ink a label deal of their own. “The majors aren’t interested in --or prepared to-- deal with developing acts anymore.”
“That’s where we come in,” explains Muggs, and adds that while most indie hip-hop labels today are putting out very left of center music, Angeles is about “true, pure, quality hip-hop.”
“Muggs and Self-Scientific are true entrepreneurs in every sense of the word,” notes Steve Pritchitt, General Manager of Fontana, “we are thrilled that they have chosen to be part of the Fontana family.”
Most known for his seminal work as the DJ and producer behind the legendary rap group Cypress Hill, Muggs has worked alongside rap heavyweights from Dr. Dre, Wyclef, Mobb Deep, GZA, and RZA, to name a few. Indeed with such an extensive credo, Muggs is a heavyweight himself. Also part of the group the Soul Assassins, Muggs today has his own radio show on Sirius Satellite on Shade 45 called “Mash-Up Radio” and tours with multi-platinum groups like Blink 182. Most recently, Muggs scored one scene in the new Ice Cube movie "XXX.”
Self-Scientific, composed of Chace Infinite and producer DJ Khalil, burst on the scene with their much lauded LP, The Self Science. Since then, Khalil, long heralded as one of L.A.'s best up and coming producers, has kept busy working with Dr. Dre and Aftermath Records on a production deal. MC Chace can be heard on Sway and Tech’s latest album Back to Basics and Talib Kweli’s Beautiful Mixtape Vol. 1. The duo released a compilation earlier this year called Gods and Gangstas.

Moka reached out on this album, getting features from the likes of Jay Dee, MF Doom, Madchild, K-OS and more. We have the first single "Once Again" available for you to check out. The song features Madchild, and is probably not what you're expecting it to be. Moka went from picking his teeth with the bones of cadavers, to just wanting to be in love.

After learnning the power of the Mixtape, he has been recording his first Mixtape entitled "Tha Streetz Iz Talkin' Mixtape" (Volume 1). Which includes many of his trials and tribulations in life, as well as some personal beefs in the streets. He hopes to some day work with many established West Coast artists as well as Hip-Hop's living legend The Game. As for now, he hopes you enjoy the following tracks off his soon-to-be released Mixtape. So look out for it.

1129023580 - January 1, 1970 By : As some of you may know a year or so ago a DVD copy of this concert surfaced under the name Untouchable - A West Coast Dynasty In Concert in Japan.
Death Row have just officially released this in far superior quality and at an amazingly low price.
As i'm lucky enough to own both DVDs I've done a full comparison of both DVDs here on our official forum.
The post includes
- Full set list for both dvd's with differences highlighted.
- Details of Daz's changed lyrics to Me In Your World dissing Dr Dre. On stage they say song is intended for the Dogg Pound album West Coast Aftershock. Obviously it never made it, but did end up on Death Row's Greatest Hits.

1130197972 - January 1, 1970 By : I wanna introduce two artists to ya'll, that the Hip-Hop crowd might not be familiar with. I'm talking about Ms. Triniti, a Carribean Dancehall artist, and E-Dee, originally from Jamaica, living in Los Angeles for the last 4 years. They've been creating a large buzz in the Reggae/Dancehall scene, specially in Japan, where Ms. Triniti has been having alot of success.
Ms. Triniti has her album "Ragga Hop" in stores now, I have three preview tracks from the album for ya'll, one of them featuring Kojo, from The System, who I updated ya'll on a while ago. For more information on Triniti, and to order "Ragga Hop" online, check out her website mstriniti.com.
Ms. Triniti - Fa Da Love Of Da Dancehall
Ms. Triniti - Hot Again (ft. E-Dee & Junior P)
Ms. Triniti - Dangerous (ft. Kojo & E-Dee)
Now on to E-Dee. He moved to L.A. from Jamaica 4 years ago and has since been building a loyal underground following. He has performed on every major reggae festival to come to California. The list of aritsts he’s opened for reads like a who’s who list in Dancehall-Reggae music like Beanie Man, Sean Paul, Elephant Man, Lady Saw, Bouty Killer. He is featured on three songs on Ms. Triniti’s EMI-Toshiba’s top selling release that is still climbing the charts.
He is currently finishing up his album "JA 2 LA Di World". The single “R U Ready?” is in rotation at many radio stations. Again, I have three tracks for ya'll to check out. The song "Between The Sheets" uses the same sample as Biggie's "Big Poppa", they flipped it Reggae style, it's off the hook! Check out the music below:
E-Dee - R U Ready?
E-dee & Jahzmyne - Between The Sheets
E-Dee - Enemies
For more information on E-dee, hit up his official website e-deeonline.com.

1151745420 - January 1, 1970 By : We have been reporting since the beginning of the year on the duo album that is in works from Shade Shiest and N.U.N.E. called "Movin Units." Earlier this month dubcnn conducted an indepth interview with the Put Yourself Out two where they explained the release; "Yeah, the point of all this is the next album called "Moving Units." We called it that because last year we moved over 172,000 units by hand, that means we actually put those jewel cases together, we shrink-wrapped those motherf-ckers ourselves and we put em in all those postal envelopes and took them in big ass boxes to the post office every Friday, until we moved 172,000."
So with a successful year behind them they move into Summer 2006 with the recently released GTA 3 and now the "Movin Units" collaboration which features the single we have below as a world premiere; "Baby We Can Do It." Request it at your local stations and help the album "Move Units!" Shouts to Shade Shiest, N.U.N.E. & PYO as a collective.
