1162132206 - January 1, 1970 By : Noni Spitz has been building up his buzz as part of the New West Movement, and with his current mixtape-album "W.I.M.S. Radio: Walk In My Shoes", he's certifying his position on the West. We briefly caught up with Noni to talk about the CD.
"The mixtape is called W.I.M.S. Radio, Walk In My Shoes, cause basically I'm taking everybody on a walk through my shoes, showing you what my sound and my style and basically all about.", he says about the mix CD. "I'm bringing something new, fresh to the West Coast, hard core Hip-Hop soul, that's what I'm bringing, with a high lyrical content. The whole mix CD is based on the title "mixtape album" cause when you pop it in, the quality of the songs, everything is original, it's all album material, but we mixed it up, got it sounding like a mixtape. It's hosted by Mike Live from K-Day and Gangsta Granny, so it's got a whole radio feel to it, it's hot!"
He's also got some of the hottest New West artists featured on "Walk In My Shoes", Bishop Lamont, Roccett, Scipio, Dae One, Taje, Mykestro just to name a few. Noni Spitz is part of Jazzy Management, along side Clinton Wayne, The Young Hoggs, Fred Knuxx and more, so that should be a hint towards the quality of the music you can expect from Noni Spitz.
I have three preview tracks for everybody to listen to:
Noni Spitz - What It Iz
Noni Spitz - Cruise In (ft. Chevy Jones)
Noni Spitz - Dig That

1205619740 - January 1, 1970 By : After gaining a major buzz in 2007, The Bloc Boyz (K-Boy & Ace) are gearing up to flood West Coast hip-hop fans with quality music for the rest of this year. Between a new mixtape Reality Check thats dropping for free download in a few weeks, and their long-awaited street album Real Talk, The Bloc Boyz are putting themselves in a perfect position to blow up in 08.
K-Boy and Ace have been friends since high school, but it wasnt until later that they officially came together to form The Bloc Boyz. We ran back into each other somewhere on Sunset, linked up, and started doing a couple little things. Ever since then, that sh*t was just right, said Ace. At the time, K-Boy had already aligned himself with Glasses Malone after an impromptu freestyle session. K-Boy recalls, When me and Ace got back into contact, I [said to Glasses], Ive got a boy that wants in. Once he heard Ace, it was a wrap. Since then, its been Blu Division for like three-and-a-half or four years now!
In 07, The Bloc Boyz appeared on a variety of mixtapes, including Glasses Malones Electric Chair. [Download Here] With the Death Row theme surrounding the project, instant comparisons were made, and some declared The Bloc Boyz as Tha Dogg Pound for a new generation. When asked about this, Ace simply said, The Dogg Pound put it down hard for the streets. We take that as a compliment. Shouts out to Kurupt, shouts out to Daz. The duo worked with Daz on The Electric Chair as well, and they considered it an honor. K-Boy told us, To link up with a legend and a motherf*cker that you grew up to, listened to, and looked up to? Thats crazy! For him to f*ck with us, and for him to give us that stamp, its unbelievable. Im lost for words.
As of late, the self-described lab rats have been recording material non-stop. The first offering from The Bloc Boyz will be Reality Check, a mixtape hosted by DJ Ill Will, DJ Rampage, and DJ Blvd. When asked about the project, Ace said, Thats basically a whole lot of music that weve been recording. Were just gonna do it for the internet - free download. Following that is the street album, which is crazy.
The forthcoming street album in question, Real Talk, is promised to be what the games been missing. Ace said, Basically, were giving you us. Were giving you what we go through, were giving you what everyone else might go through. Were actually talking about something. Were actually having fun with the music. Were doing different things, and just trying to showcase the West. We want to show people what West Coast life is really like.
Aside from the mixtape and street album, K-Boy and Ace are also working on solo projects. K-Boy is putting together The Green Mixtape, which aims to bring West Coast unity to a higher level. Im trying not to glorify gangbanging in a negative way. Crips and Bloods can get along, we can do music and get money together, and we can be real friends. I reached out to [artists like] Jay Rock, Lil Bam, 211, Roccett, and Big Wy [for the project]. Its gonna be a hell of a tape. What I wanted to do is put everybody together and let them know that were really pushing the blue and red make green out here.
Meanwhile, Ace has been working on the Get It Gang street album with Taje. That tape right there is something serious. Taje reached out to a n*gga because he seen a n*gga grindin. He seen what me and K-Boy were doing. The group also has nothing but respect for LNSs Dae One. Shouts out to Dae One. Dae One was actually the first producer to really f*ck with us on a heavy level and provide us with a sound that only fits The Bloc Boyz. When we get into the studio with Dae One, its like magic, says K-Boy.
With a full-lineup of street offerings this year, The Bloc Boyz are making it their mission to be heard. On top of the new music, the Boyz have established their own company, Hustle Money Ent., as well. The group is confident about their position in the game, and envisions major plans for themselves in the future. [Other artists] hear the music and realize that were real n*ggas. Everybodys f*ckin with us.
Weve got a new track from Reality Check for you to listen to today. The banger is called Im Hood, and its not one that youll want to pass up. Download it below.
The Bloc Boyz Im Hood [Produced by Chris Judge]
Make sure to check out The Bloc Boyz on Myspace, and be on the look out for Reality Check to drop on Dubcnn for free download in the next few weeks. The group wants to give a big shout out to Andino, the studio they record at, as well!
