1086732269 - January 1, 1970 By : A few days ago we brought you a preview song from Big Hutch aka Cold187um's sophomore release "Live From The Ghetto". If you missed it, here it is again:

Big Hutch - Ride Like A Gangsta.

Thanks to Phyllis Pollack, we now have an official press release on the album, it's out today, make sure you go out and cop it! Here is the article:

"Big Hutch (aka “Cold 187um”) of the legendary West Coast supergroup, Above The Law, returns with his long awaited second solo release, Live From The Ghetto. Above The Law was one of the seminal, G-funk laced groups on the Ruthless Records label, run by the late, legendary Eric “Eazy-E” Wright. Hiphop heads last heard from Hutch back in 1999 when he released his first solo debut album, Executive Decisions, on his independent label, West World Records. With this album, Hutch brings melody back, with his time-honored brand of West Coast hiphop.

Hutch’s signature G-Funk sound can be found on classic hiphop tracks like 2Pac’s “Until The End Of Time,” The Dogg Pound’s “The Dog Pound 2002,” Snoop Dogg’s “Dead Man Walking” among many others. Suge Knight had even tried to enlist the production services of Hutch, but the two could not see eye to eye on a myriad of things, so 187 chose to leave the situation.

Live From The Ghetto is not merely an album title, but it is the state of mind, as well as environment, which Hutch has always shared in, and it permeates through this highly-anticipated album.

Destined to be noted as an essential work, Cold 187um decided to remake the classic Curtis Mayfield song, “Give Me Your Love,” but rather than just sampling it, he released it as a duet, featuring both the late singer’s trademark falsetto, a voice that was such an influence on his own delivery, and added his own vocals to it. The stunning combination of these two voices marks a special, flawless vision in hiphop, production that has 187’s own stamp on it. Hutch explains, “I wanted to pay homage to Curtis Mayfield by adding my style to it and telling a story similar to which his original was based. “Give Me Your Love,” from the Superfly soundtrack, is about a brother who is on the daily grind, doing what he’s got to do, but knowing that whatever happens, his woman his got his back, regardless of the outcome.” He adds, “Curtis Mayfield was always one of my favorites, and he did it all. He wrote, produced and sang. When I was coming up, my uncle, Willie Hutch and my Dad Richard Hutch, wrote for Motown. They wrote things like The Mack, Foxy Brown, the Jackson’s, the Miracles. I experienced the Mack, Motown, all of that, because of the work my dad and my uncle did for Motown. I was brought up on that sort of player, smoothed-out music. So this is paying homage. When you listen to it, it sounds like I was in the studio with Curtis Mayfield. It sounds real natural.”

Among the album’s guests are Above The Law, Kokane and upstarts Young Madd, Geno and Viet Nam.

Hutch is known as one of the original creators of G-Funk. Bringing Above The Law projects like the EP, For The Funk Of It, and the influential Black Mafia Life. Hutch remains understated, modest and extremely humble, despite his major role in the creation of G-Funk. “When we were making music in the early days at Ruthless, and I was producing, I wanted to do things for the vibe of it, to influence people. The music was new, hiphop, if you were around back then, you know one thing---just everything was kind of new. It was more so an experimental type of thing. When I was doing G-Funk, which was that all we were doing is adding a funky, new, melodic vibe to hiphop, because at the time, it was more metal sounding, you know, like NWA had this more metal sounding, hard-edged, cut throat feel to it. But Above The Law was more funky, funky but real smoothed-out. So when I started adding that into the scenario of hiphop, that’s when we coined the phrase for what we called our sound. At the time, Warren G slept on my floor, in my apartment. This had to be ’89 or ’90. We’d be like, ‘This is some G-Funk, gangsta funk.’ We were working on Black Mafia Life.”

2Pac lives on as a witness on that album. Hutch notes, “I remember 2Pac asked me, ‘Your music is funky, it’s not like all the regular gangsta shit. What do you call your shit?’ So that’s why when you listen to our song, “Call It What U Want,” which came out before “Indo Smoke,” came out before “The Chronic,” or any of that, on the song, 2Pac, says, “I’m bumpin,’ G-Funk, but you can call it what you want.’ So that was the first time you heard that term on a record.”

Then Warren came out and said, “Our music is G-funk.” He was influenced by cats who were OG’s he saw doing it, and rolling with it. Warren is a part of G-Funk, and part of its emerging, but he didn’t invent it. He’s from our camp, from our hood, so is Snoop Dogg, they’re all descendants of our camp. I was the first to take Snoop and Warren under my wing.” He adds, “They were originally going to come out through Ruthless/Lawhouse, until Dre split and broke camp, and people left with Dre to go to Death Row. I
don’t really trip off who did what really, because G-Funk was just one influence in the music,” he says. “I use blues, rock and a lot of other different things, as well in music.”

The album’s “Born Hustla” is about someone whose mindset is born out of necessity. Hutch expounds, “It’s about brothers who have no way out, and hustlin’ is all they can do, they’re trapped, it’s all they know. They don’t have a bachelor’s degree in sociology, they’re not great a football player, as not everybody can’t do that, and so they get caught up.”

Hutch is in his element, as he describes the song “Ghetto Platinum.” “Ghetto Platinum” is like saying you’re so dope and so underground, that everybody knows what’s up on that scene. You are ghetto gold, ghetto platinum. There are only a few people who are respected that level, on a ghetto level, that can give you certified ghetto shit. A lot of motherf#@%#@s talk ghetto shit, but they give you pop music instead. We bring certified ghetto platinum. No matter how many records we sell, we are still certified ghetto platinum.”

187’s vocal delivery was one of the first to come with a straight, melodic flow. “I always knew melody will outlive the words you are hearing. You may not remember the words to the song, but you always know the melody. I am a musician first, and then, I’m a rapper, with the vocals. I always wanted to put melody into it, because melody is timeless,” he says.

With Live From The Ghetto, says Hutch, “I want to put melody back into gangsta rap, and put that back into the fold. I wanted to sing the melodies myself, rather than hire someone else, and just be a rapper. I wanted to be a full-fledged artist, a true musician, and show that side of me. This album enabled me to give you all my soul, and that’s the way I look at it.”

1086734152 - January 1, 1970 By : As of this week, Bad Azz left his label D3 and is now officially a free agent. Mr. Bad is currently shopping for a deal for his new album and his imprint Double Dolla Sign Records. "I ain't gonna go for no OK deal, or no coo deal no more, I done been through that shit and in the end it's all fucked up. I need something good, because I KNOW i got a SMASHING album ready to come out, for whatever label I go with! It's some smashing shit, I guarantee you!", he said.
His album "Executive Decisionz" was repeatedly pushed back by the lable, to the point where it looked like it was never coming out.

Let's hope Bad Azz finds a fitting situation to be able to unleash his record to the masses, and finally gets his long overdue recognition in the music industry!

He is now set to release the follow up single, called "Sunshine"! Sandy Lal, Flip's manager and attorney of Kingpin Entertainment Group, had the following to say about the single: ""This track is a collaboration with Lil' Flip and our newest artist Lea, just signed to Kingpin. It's produced by The Synphony. Lea's sweet voice combined with Flip's playalistically catchy rhymes really takes this song over the top. The single speaks for itself; it's already at over 3000 radio spins and will be going to Top 40 this week. I asked Flip to collaborate with Lea and he just jumped right on it. That was no surprise; she is as talented as she is beautiful. As for Flip, he gets up close and personal on "Sunshine", he's still a player but not on the courts on this track."

And Flip himself had a few words about the song too, ""Sunshine is a little different from what people have heard from me. I wanted a smooth track for the ladies this time. My manager Sandy originally
did the song for Lea but then decided to put me on it. When I heard the track, I got right on it and wrote it in fifteen minutes! I wanted to lay down the rules for dating a rapper like myself. Since I'm always on the road, she has to be patient. I'll definitely be in touch once I get into town but I can't stick around for too long. I can't be a steady boyfriend because of my schedule, but when I have the time, I will definitely give it to my babygirl. I touch on these things in the song. I think everyone will appreciate "Sunshine", both the males and females."

1087996096 - January 1, 1970 By : Dirty Dirty rapper T.I. who was in the news last week for shooting an unauthorized video in prison, had dissed Lil Flip on stage at Atlanta's Summer Jam, calling him out for calling himself the King Of The South. Flip now responded to that, here is what he had to say:

"“I hear T.I. is on stage with like 20 of his men supposedly ready to confront me when it was my turn to take the stage. First of all, I was late and it was supposed to be over. At that point the police and the venue people kept us off the stage, they were gonna shut it down and leave. Dude is on stage mad, claiming he’s the King of the South, and that I said he wasn’t. Everybody knows the real king of the south is Scarface. All I gotta say is that I don’t even KNOW him. If we wanna talk who’s hotter, I’ve been all over the mix tape scene, now I’m all over the mainstream scene, off the strength of my own hustle. A lot of people have been coming at me, and I really don’t have the time to address all of them. Like they say; mo money mo problems. That’s all I gotta say, Ima keep doin’ me regardless, I got a new hit record out. I’ve been in so much beef in my life, I’m happy to be here and still be living. I don’t know if dude’s been through half of what I’ve been through. I’ve been living with some real demons in my life, and niggas that know my story know what’s up so I don’t need to do anything extra to draw more attention to myself. I mean, I hear he’s calling out my peoples Luda and DTP too so I guess it’s just part of the game for him, a publicity stunt to move some more units. I guess he’s just mad cause I f*ck with everybody else in ATL but him. Look at my album; I got Pastor Troy, Luda, Killer Mike and Baby D. ATL is like my second home. And I guess he’s mad ‘cause he did a verse for the Game Over remix and I didn’t use it. Bottom line, I’ve put in my time. If he wanna take it there, I mean he got a team, I got a team too, so its whatever. Otherwise, go find another way to sell records ‘cause I am selling records”"

Let's hope this gets squashed and the united force of the south doesn't start breaking up like the West has been... To me though, the only person who can call himself the King Of The South is Scarface without a doubt.

1087997610 - January 1, 1970 By : On the new DJ Whoo Kid "Shadow Ops" mixtape, there's a 2Pac remix called "Casket" which was released by Mr Cynical from the homies at WCRydaz over a year ago. He didn't get any kind of credit nor a shoutout. Cynical left a message on their site about the situation, here it is:

"Well WHOO KID decided 2 take a remix I did over a year ago, called SLEEPIN IN A CASKET (PART 1) and put it on his mixtape without shouting me out or giving me credit or anything. I posted this on tha DPG Recordz forum over a year ago, and I know for a fact tha webmaster of tha site, KP is homiez with WHOO KID, so im sure thatz how he got tha track. Anywayz a big fuck U goes out 2 WHOO KID for tryna make it seem like he did that mix....Next time U use someone elses shit give them credit...."

1088000759 - January 1, 1970 By : I would like to Introduce you to a up and coming R&B artist (Unsigned) out of Southern California, "KROOK". Krook has been around for awhile on the underground circuit working with artist such as Kurupt, Roscoe, Bad Azz, 40 Glocc, Latin artist Capone', Nite Owl, Snapper, Kid Frost and many more.
But Krook has branched out on his own with a completed album, album cover and ready for press under his cousins Independent label Soulyric. I'm not going to hype him up, I'll let the music speak for it self. Krook's looking for a warm R&B label that's self contained, artist to work with, meaning writting, appearing on tracks and just networking with artist period. Most of you will ask the question "why isn't this cat out, his music is off the chain"!!, well Krook has been overlooked, but also things happen for a reason, and we hope that a label will have the ears and eyes to realize that. Krook has been spoke on in New York alot lately and he's getting radio spins in Syaracuse New York!!!! top mix show, that's a start but not enough!!!!!

I don't want you guys to read a book, so let me send you to krooks E.P.K. site for you to view, we're adding things daily so check back frequently. I hope you enjoy Krook, and the definition of Krook is "DON'T LEAVE YOUR LADY UNATTENDED" Think about it!!!!!!!!

Check out the site by clicking HERE.
There you can check out his bio and much more, and listen to three songs. You can download the three songs directly by clicking below too:

Krook - Passion
Krook - What Would You Do
Krook - Shake That Thang

Enjoy, and look for much more coming from Krook soon!

The two combine soulful melodies and profound lyricism over the head knocking production of Pale Soul, Smoke, and Mako, setting the mood for those who truly appreciate good music.

1089063290 - January 1, 1970 By : From Immature to IMX, Young Rome is no new comer to the game. His first solo album Food For Thought was recently relesed on TUG/Universal. He has features from B2K member Omarion on the first single "After Party," new Compton sensation Guerrilla Black, Atlanta's Drunkest and Crunkest YoungBloodz as well as ex Immature/IMX frontman Marques Houston. True to his R & B roots, a lot of the topics on this album are based around sex. So, it's not your typical Pop Rap album. It's actually a good mix of R & B and Hip Hop. Support this, it's pretty hot. I guess you could compare him to San Diego's Nick Cannon, but with little smoother style. The reason I posted this is 1, the album is rather hot and 2 L.A. Hip Hop isn't just gangsta music. Underneath the tracklist, click the link to listen to snippets.

Here's the tracklist:

01. Intro - (with Baby Paul)
02. Freaky - (with Guerilla Black)
03. I Don't Care - (with YoungBloodz)
04. After Party - (with Omarion)
05. Interlude: In My Bedroom
06. In My Bedroom - (with Rufus Blaq)
07. Crazy Girl - (with Rufus Blaq)

1089677637 - January 1, 1970 By : Goddaaaaaaaaaamn, what a show! Last night, at the Henry Fonda Theater, a live crowd witnessed the reunion of some of both coasts most notorious artists. Mobb Deep had their anticipated show with Sly Boogy opening up, but it turned out to be much more than just a Mobb Deep show.

Mobb Deep, Kurupt, Jayo Felony, 40 Glocc, Boo Yaa TRIBE, Eastwood, Dilated Peoples, Alchemist, Bushwick Bill, Tri-Star and many more, all on one stage???? Now that's some shit!

The Riflemen is official, oh boy, it is official! After Havoc & Prodigy performed a few of their hits including Shook Ones, they called the Riflemen along with everybody else on stage, and from then on, it was a party on stage. Everywhere you looked, a big name artist was rocking off. The Mob put down a hot show, and with Jayo's new invention, which brings the left half of the crowd to yell out "FUCK THAT SIDE" to the right half, the crowd was really and into it and rowdy.

Everything remained peaceful though, it was a hot ass show, and hopefully this is just the beginning of a flourishing relationship between Mobb Deep & Riflemen. After the West Coast left the stage, Mobb Deep closed it off with some more cuts including their current smash hit "Twisted".

DUBCNN was present for you, from back at the hotel before the show, to backstage, to on stage, to back at the hotel after the show. We have tons of pics, aswell as a 1hour+ film. The movie aint on the computer yet but for now you can check out some of the pictures below:

1089836738 - January 1, 1970 By : The Virginia emcee and Ghostwriter Skillz has released two new mixtapes. One showcasing his abilities on the mic, the other destroying the former L.A. Laker, now Miami Heat, center Shaquille O'Neal. Sometime during the NBA Finals a Shaq track surfaced and for some reason he was dissing Skillz. Rumors went around that Skillz paid Shaq to diss him as a publicity stunt, but I think those Rumors can be laid to rest. On Skillz vs. Shaq: The Finals, Skillz not only points out that the Lakers lost horribly to the Detroit Pistons, but he clowns Shaq poor Free Throw Shooting(over Jay-Z's "99 Problems"), as well as Shaq's lazy eye on another track. I don't know what Shaq was thinking, but I can bet he'll never go at Skillz crazy again.

Here's the tracklisting:

Intro
MTV News
Shaq Dissin Skillz
The Champ Is Here
Bad Boy Radio Skit
Back Down Freestyle
Free Throw Skit
99 Free Throws
Freestyle
Coaching Shaq
Dem Wallace Boys feat. Joey Gallo
Jamie Foxx vs. Shaq
Take It Back
Lean Back feat. Joey Gallo
J.R. vs. Shaq

Purchase Skillz vs. Shaq.

On his other mixtape, Got Skillz: The James Brown Collection, Skillz spits over nothing but James Brown samples. 11 tracks and only a limited amount was pressed up. This shows Skillz' true talent and it proves his creativity. It's hard enough to drop one mixtape, it's even harder to drop one with a concept. Skillz has dropped two and they both have great concepts, which are held through the entire tape.

Here's The Tracklisting:

Intro
Impeach The President
Rick James
Who's Gonna Take The Weight
The New WWF
Jus Rhymin
Why James
Bukked Naked
Do It Again
Good Look
Do The James

Purchase Got Skillz.

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!

1092805218 - January 1, 1970 By : There has been alot of talk about an incident from last week that concerned Jayo Felony. We just want to let you know that Jayo is doing good and to be on the look out for the new Riflemen album project, and his solo album "In Da Trenches" dropping this fall on Universal Records.

I have had the opportunity to listen to both the Riflemen and his solo album, and they are THE SHIT, without exagerating. Jayo Felony delivers and amazing performance on both records, two of my most anticiapted records of the year.

In other Riflemen news, 40 Glocc has been in the studio this week with RBX and Kokane working on his 2nd solo album, the follow up to his HIGHLY underrated debut The Jakal. We will put up pictures from the studio sessions tomorrow.

1092827127 - January 1, 1970 By : When I first arrived backstage they told us digital cameras and videocameras were forbidden. Even the tv station in Sweden wasn't allowed to film or take pictures..
After a few hours of waiting 50 Cent and G-unit showed up,
they had cleared the backstage area and all backup artists were moved into this big tent or was forced to sit around the taped area so they wouldn't be able to speak to 50 Cent and crew when they arrived.
My friend from Kingsize magazine was with me and he did a interview with them the day before after signing a 20 page contract he spoke to them for a few minutes without cameras etc.
Youngbuck had been without weed for a few days and all he kept asking him was "can you please get some weed".

Anyways I had spoken to Youngbuck about hooking up so when he saw me in the tent he sent his bodyguard and got me. I went back and met 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Youngbuck.
I'll just put it like this he was so happy about Yash gettin him some of that sticky icky that he gave me the hotel room nr with a big smile on his face:)

The Game wasn't there and Tony Yayo had a restraining order so he couldn't leave the country.

They smoked some chronic and headed up the stage to do the show.
50 started with ”What up gangsta”, ”Wanksta” and ”21 questions" in a fastpase tempo then came his biggest hit "In Da Club" and the 10 000+ crowd went crazy.
After 15-20 minutes 50 Cent started doing G-Unit songs then Lloyd Banks did "On Fire" with crazy fire effects.
Youngbuck later did a few songs from his upcoming album.
I was surprised that most of the people knew the lyrics to "Let Me In". Because they haven't played that song in scandinavia that much. After each song they performed they ended with a Gunshot that Dj Whoo Kid is famous for in his mixtapes.
50 Cent finnished up with "If I Can't" and a few other solos.
He stopped the music took off his cap and threw it out and told the crowd I gotto give yall something to remember me by then took off his new G Unit Boots and threw those out aswell which unfortunately hit one girl in the head and knocked her unconcious for a few minutes. He even dropped his diamond ring while he threw stuff out but they later found and gave it back to him.

After the show I went to the hotel where we where planning to do a few interviews. Now that The Game and Yayo wasn't there I was thinking of doing a interview with just 50 Cent but he was so tired so he went to his room and slept.

So I took Youngbuck and his peoples to the club called KB in Malmo. Oh boy we had a great time partying we even went on stage got Youngbuck a mic and he rocked the club and tookover the Dj's job.

Youngbucks new album has been pushed back and he has recorded new songs that will replace some of the ones that were leaked to the internet.
Youngbuck was one of the nicest most humble people i've ever kicked it with too bad the people in his security and entourage was straight assholes to people in general.

We will post a 50 Cent Interview which my boy from Kingsize magazine did later this month. So be on the lookout for that and make sure you go out and cop Youngbuck's album "Straight Outta Cashville" BOOOOOW!

1092888008 - January 1, 1970 By : “You don’t have to go to L.A. to get your MC Eiht,” Lloyd Banks contended on his debut album, Hunger For More, which entered the Billboard pop chart at Number One. Banks’ assertion on his madly successful album keenly demonstrates how deeply it is ingrained within hiphop consciousness that MC Eiht is known as being the streets’ ultimate spokesperson for the West Coast. Period.

As signified by the title of Eiht’s new album, Veterans Day, slated for release on September 28, Eiht is one of the true O.G.’s of L.A. hiphop, a true veteran of the ghetto, emerging in 1989, with the debut release from Comptons Most Wanted, It’s A Compton Thang. Coming into the game, Eiht rolled along side Tha Chill, their luminary scratcher DJ Mike T and producers Slip and DJ Unknown. Cited as a select musical inspiration for producer/director John Singleton’s classic film, Boyz In The Hood, the group’s single, “Growin’ Up In The Hood” was picked as the single for the film. Eiht’s releases with CMW, Straight Check’n Em and Music To Driveby quickly became West Coast underground classics. Eiht, who has graced the cover of the Source Magazine twice, appeared in the Hughes Brothers’ feature film Menace II Society, and also achieved critical acclaim for his indelible single, “Streiht Up Menace,” which appeared on the film’s multi-platinum selling soundtrack, which held the Number One spot on the Billboard Top 100 R&B Albums Chart for eight weeks. We Come Strapped, which quickly achieved gold status, created controversy for its no holds barred attack on racist police officers, and was eventually attacked in a speech by then Presidential candidate Bob Dole. Rolling Stone Magazine was among the media outlets that joined in the frenzy to address the fact that Eiht’s record label, Epic Records, felt compelled to issue an extra warning sticker on the disc, which stated that Eiht’s lyrics were not necessarily the opinions of the Sony label.

Eiht released Death Threatz and Last Man Standing, officially ending his time with Epic, and then he signed with Priority, releasing Underground Hero, Section 8 and N My Neighborhood. Always in demand, he has accepted numerous offers to record duets on albums released by other artists, a few of which include Spice 1, Scarface and Pete Rock, but now he’s back on the solo tip with a new album, Veterans Day.

Eiht comes back for the kill with his new album, Veterans Day, released by West, Inc. Records though Native Records with distribution by Ryko’s Penalty Associated Labels. Again, as noted by the album’s title, Eiht is reveling in the light of a long career that has garnered him sheer respect from the streets, as well as countless props from other artists. On Tupac Shakur’s birthday this year, L.A.’s KWPR 106 FM re-broadcast the interview during which Pac stated that when he was in prison at Dannemora, he fervently listened to MC Eiht’s music. When Ludicris broadcast his video countdown on MTV, he opened it up with Eiht’s “Streiht Up Menace.” To Eiht, these were not just props---they were omens. “All of this just told me I needed to be working on putting an album out, to keep going. I had done some projects that were just to keep my name out there, but I realized this year that I really wanted to do a significant album, which will actually be my very first since being in the Priority situation.” Despite his heavy reputation in the hiphop world, Eiht acknowledges, “To some people, this will be my first solo album, because they weren’t around for my prior releases, and to them, this will be my first album.”

The production on Veterans Day was done by Tha Chill, who has also recently recorded tracks for Snoop Dogg’s 213. There is one exception, and that is the track, “Some Of These Thugs,” produced by Prodeje of South Central Cartel.

>From its provocative intro, “Vetz Day,” Eiht takes the listener into the streets with him. He potently explains of the album’s opening, “It’s the national anthem, but this version is our national anthem, for those that can relate to it. It’s national throughout ghettos everywhere. You’ll listen to it, and you’ll say, ‘That’s real what he’s saying there,” referring to the police violence, the people, my generation, and he’s trying to make a point.”

Among the album’s tracks is “Gangsta Smash,” which Eiht describes as “a gangsta groove song. It’s just telling gangstas to mash to this groove."

“It’s Alright” deals with the problems and struggles going on with males and females as they hustle up and do what they need to do to keep food on the table.

Being a true vet, “We Made It 2004” derives from a song CMW did on their first album. Eiht says, “We had a clean version, a radio version on that album, so we recreated it here. We made it a street version for 2004.”

Words from the wise, “Nobody Beat Us,” says Eiht, is a Biz Markie remake. “Like nobody beats the business,” pontificates Eiht, but I’m saying that nobody beat us. I’m using old school sounds on this record, using a little Biz Markie and UTFO. I think people will like this cut that features people from my era who started out with early hiphop.” It has a bit of an East Coast feel to it. It’s all West music again, however, when Eiht returns with “Streets Don’t Love You,” which Eiht describes as “more steered towards classic Eiht, CMW music. It’s that old Barry White that we’re known for. CM-Dub is known for heavy Isaac Hayes, the Meters, stuff like that. I was thinking of veteran shit, old school shit, trying to do something significant, so people would say, ‘That’s classic Eiht right there.’ It’s explaining the circumstances that we live in today.”

“I speak for the people on the streets and the underground,” notes Eiht. “I try to keep my music on that level. I don’t deal with how much money there is, or how much it’s going to cost to get a chick that is a celebrity. I can’t talk about people in Compton riding around in Bentleys and going to the clubs, messing with models. We don’t even have any clubs in Compton. My music is about being in the neighborhood, being around real people, who are stuck in the struggle of doing whatever they be doing, every day jobs, dope dealing, trying to take care of their families.”

He adds, “A lot of guys never get a chance to do what I’ve been doing, but I still stay true to where I started, still being able to connect with folks. That’s why I feel I can touch a lot of people.”

You don’t have to go to L.A. to get your MC Eiht, because instead, you can go to the nearest place where there’s a record store, and get a copy of Veterans’ Day. Geah.

1093453623 - January 1, 1970 By : Kila Krock steps on the scene with a mug that's mean. Hailing from Lynwood California, Krock represents a new era of west coast music. Underground for years, Krock is finally ready to show the whole world what he has. With a voice that'll rumble through the air like a sonic boom, he's been told that its his aggressive word play and heavy tone that sets him apart form the normal rapper. And Krock's no stranger to performing either. He's opened up for well known artiest such as DJ Quik, Suga Free, KRS One, Slick Rick, and 2nd 2 None. He's also performed at colleges, clubs, and different city functions. "I believe that I'm one of the next unknown emcee
s to get that big break," quotes Krock. With many songs recorded and many more to come, Krock's ready for any thing. And with a mix tape on the way, he's destined to get his proper due.

The homie C-4 from Xplosive Magazine took the time to sit down and conduct and in-depth interview with the man about the politics over at the radio stations and what it takes to get radio-play. Below is a little part of the interview, to read the full thing either pick up the new Xplosive Magazine or click here to read it on the Siccness board.

"What do you think about what gets played on the radio these days? “People always complain about the songs that get played on the radio, but if they was here all day and hear the phones ring and hear people request the sh*t, they would know. People think we sit here and think ‘let’s pick the most f**ked up song we could play, just to piss everybody off.’ NO! People seem to think that since I work inside the radio station I’m some sort of like corporate white suite type dumbf**k. NO! I’m from the same place everybody else is from, I just happen to know what goes on in here. Don’t think that I like the sh*t. I’m not a fan of a lot of the sh*t that goes on. Then you go ‘Okay this song sucks,’ but ain’t this the same song you watched on TV? Don’t blame the radio. MTV playin’ a thousand times, BET playin’ it a thousand times. He must really suck, there’s only a million people that bought his record.”"

1093637342 - January 1, 1970 By : If you haven't already, here is your chance to sign the petition to free J.Dee of Da Lench Mob. Here's a press release:

This cry for freedom is one I pray that doesn't go un-heard. My name is DaSean "JDee" Cooper. I am an Original Member of DA LENCH MOB, a rap group founded by Ice Cube in the 1990's.I was the lead rapper in the group for our debut Platinum release titled, "Guerillas
In The Mist."

Upon our return home from Europe in the summer of 1993, I was falsely accused, tried and convicted of murder - a crime that I and 95% of Los Angeles (including the victim's family) know that I did not commit. My trial attorney had suffered a stroke prior to my trial
and subsequently he had a mild stroke. I was denied several constitutional rights and was tried and convicted based on rap lyrics and a 911 tape recording. There was no gun, no gun shot residue, no credible eyewitness and the only compelling witness
was instructed to stay hidden until the prosecution needed her. There was ineffective assistance of counsel, jury misconduct, prosecutorial misconduct and judicial misconduct. Hearsay evidence was illegally admitted and jurors were overheard in elevators
discussing the case before it was submitted for deliberation.

There is a retired L.A. Sheriff named Herb Giron who's known me for over two decades and he conducted his own investigation and knows that I'm not the real suspect shooter and culprit. My 14th,5th and 6th Amendment, Rights were violated. And I truly believe that "Music" was placed on trial and I was convicted of being black and a "gangsta rapper". I was denied any and all Black jurors...my jury consisted of 8 whites & 4 Asian-Americans. This was in 1994 - post L.A. uprising/Rodney King beating and during the O. J. Simpson pre-trial circus. I was denied bail in a non-capital case, which was a violation of my 8th Amendment Constitutional Right.

O'Shea "Ice Cube" Jackson left me for dead due to negative publicity. The record label, East-West/Time lawyers and law students to help me prevail in this fight for freedom. I've wrote several law firms who claim to do Pro-Bono work. But no one likes rappers; especially one who's as outspoken as myself. There are plenty of Federal & State violations and I am literally throwing myself at the mercy of this law school (and/or firm) to please get involved in my fight for my life.

I've been in touch with the retired sheriff (Giron), this past Feb.2003 and he's willing to help. I've tried everything in my power and I've even located 3 new eyewitnesses who were present the night the crime was committed.

As of this writing certain artists are expressing their concerns. However, talk is extremely cheap and I'm in need of serious help. Please feel free to write me at the address below with any help or suggestions. Comments are welcomed also.

May Our Creator Bless You All! Peace!

ince 213's "The Hard Way" didnt have any Warren G production on it, it was only right for the G-Child to go ahead and remix the first single "Groupie Luv". And what can you say... Warren laced a laid back beat which has that smooth G-Funk sound that his fans love to hear. Tracks like these keep me wondering why they didnt let him produce any songs on the album... We got the audio up for you to listen: 213 "Groupie Luv (G-Funk Remix)".



Also, please sign this petition which urges Warren to take into consideration a Warren G Remix Project for the 213 album. Who knows if its gonna work, but it wont hurt to try.

1095113825 - January 1, 1970 By : I got this E-Mail from Big Shysti today:

The First Annual Latin Rap Conference was a complete success…Thanks to everyone who participated.

LRC 2005 is already in the making. It will be held at the Harrah's Resort and Casino, in San Diego, CA February 1-3 in 2005.

We have big plans for taking our newly formed family to the next step of success. As you all know, we accomplished the hardest thing at the LRC 2004, coming together in a positive Forum. Now, we can move on and created an agenda for our goals.

As some of you already know, Rags and I quit the radio station we were working at (98.9 More FM) about a month after the conference. The PD also quit in support of our demands. Since then, the station has turned into another "Pop Clear Channel Wannabe" piece of shit.

Like we said in one of the seminars, we have to constantly take the risks necessary to advance our cause and sometimes, we have to face the conseuqences of taking those risks. It was a good ting all and all, however, because other acorss the Country have started to follow the format we created. That is progress.

I am writing to you all to inform you that the LRC 2005 is almost ready to go. The new site will be soon. For now, please visit the Here's the Old site and hit up the message board with ideas and plans you have for LRC 2005. Remember that it is our conference...ALL OF OURS, and we can do whatever we want and accomplish as much as we want through the organization we formed in 2004.

To that end, please send us pics and videos of your experiences at the LRC 2004 for us to use on the site. We will give you credit on the site for your pics and/or video. We just want as much coverage as possible to remind everyone how it went down. It seems there were many different experiences, all positive, but all different.

1095726516 - January 1, 1970 By : Hey ya'll, I briefly caught up wit the legendary DJ Slip, who's now running IV Life Records, to talk about the new 4life projects and more. We'll be conducting a more in-depth interview soon, but here's the current scoop as far as music goes.

As ya'll know, IV Life & Tha Eastsidaz collaborated on alot of songs, and they are currently looking to drop a project called "Duecez, Trays & Foes", and 18 song project featuring all IV Life Records arits and Tha Eastsidaz. "We're trying to put this out first, cause you know, instead of sitting on them, we might aswell let people hear it, cause I don't see nobody else droppin' it if it ain't us. It also should help us get a foot in the door, cause of Tha Eastsidaz, who are an established group", Slip said. There is no set release date yet, as they're still looking for the right distribution deal to put it out.

"This is what we're lookin' for right now, the right distribution deal. Cause last time we did it ourselves, and it doesn't work. Some stores get it before others, and shit ain't organized. Also, you get killed by bootleggers, cause your product ends up in the street before it hits stores. But you know how it is, people ain't tryna break bread, but we're positive that we can find the right situation to release our music.".

So it's really up to when they find the right deal that we will finally hear the Eastsidaz collab aswell as the real new album, titled "The New Breed", which is complete, but new songs are still being recorded as we speak.

When asked about expanding the IV Life Family, Slip said: "We're always looking for new groups, new artists. We're lookin' to pick up some singers, cause you know you always need atleast one singer on your label. A label with all rappers isn't gonna work, you defintely need somebody with a voice. So yeah, we're expanding the label in future, definitely".

Sounds promising, as of now IV Life has release some hot mixtape music. Those of you who've been following the label for a while, might remember that Leicy Loc, Gangsta Dresta's sister, used to work with them closely, however hasn't appeared on the new projects. "You know, Lecy wanted to be a solo artist man, but we were going to sign everybody as a group. We're a new independent label man, we couldn't start giving everybody solo deals.. But it's all friendly with Lecy, there is no animosity whatsoever.", Slip had to say about the situation.

Look for a more indepth interview with DJ Slip soon, if you have any questions you'd like answered, you can send an email to nima@dubcnn.com.

1095874676 - January 1, 1970 By : "If you listen to my lyrical content, I'm bigging up the West and saying how people forgot about how the West was won. I'm reminding them." — Game


Like his teammate 50 Cent did with "Wanksta," G-Unit's Game wants to get a buzz going by putting out a record for the 'hood, then hitting the masses upside the head with a blockbuster Dr. Dre-produced official single.

So far he feels he's on the right track.

"That's like my 'Wanksta,' " Game said of his current record, "Westside Story," also produced by Dre. "That ain't even the single, that's my street single. It's picking up like crazy. I took the title from the movie ['West Side Story']. If you listen to my lyrical content, I'm bigging up the West and saying how people forgot about how the West was won. I'm reminding them."

"Westside Story" features 50 on the hook rapping, "If you take a look in my eyes/ See I'll be a gangsta till I die/ That California chronic got me so high/ Game, tell 'em where you from/ Westsiiiide." There's also a version of the song with Snoop Dogg saying the identical rhymes as 50.

"Higher," Game's real-deal lead cut produced by the leader of the Aftermath Records squad, should surface soon.

"It's a club knock," he said of the record. "After that, we're off to the races. It's just 'Operation Bring the West Coast Back.' I'm happy to be a part of this sh--. It seems like everything is falling in my hands."

Besides 50 Cent, Dre and Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Nate Dogg and Mary J. Blige will also appear on Game's debut LP. If the Compton MC gets his way, he'll have yet another Cali icon on the album as well: the late Eazy-E. Nothing is definitive, but Game is contemplating adding the mixtape cut "Still Cruising," which features never-before-heard lyrics by Eazy.

"I didn't expect it to blow like it did, but since everybody is loving it, I might have to bonus track that," the 24-year-old said. "Red Spyda and Whoo Kid produced it. I don't know where they got the Eazy vocals from, but they found them. They brought them to me. I know every Eazy verse line-for-line and I never heard that one. I heard it, I ran out the studio. I couldn't believe that. I followed Eazy my whole life and to hear an unreleased Eazy track, I went bonkers."

As the ultimate show of respect to Eazy and Dre, who were both members of legendary rap crew N.W.A, Game wants to title his album N.W.A Volume 1, but that name might hit a red-tape snafu. Regardless, the LP is tentatively scheduled for release before the end of the year. Game is shooting the video for "Higher" in the next couple of weeks.

After my first listen, the album sounds hard as hell, the production is much better than on his previous recent independent efforts, and he sounds more focused. You can check out the tracklisting below. Make sure to pick this up in your local record store, it dropped today!!!!!!

In an interview, Shock G said "Now more than ever, with almost all emcees on the same subject matter & viewpoint, it's especially necessary to lift the human spirit & break the monotony of continuous, increasingly bleak, negative or desperate songs & topics; and to also break the chain of constant blatant reality. The human mind also thrives & prospers from fantasy & hope. Perhaps 'Fear of a Mixed Planet' is an intermission from the front line & a visit to the recreation tent."

1096640736 - January 1, 1970 By : What do you think of when you hear the name 40 Glocc? (We're talkin' rap... so don't bring the gun-talk in)

Well, ever since starting off with the Dogg Pound a few years back, 40 has been steadily on the rise. After releasing his HIGHLY overlooked debut solo "The Jakal", which featured damn near the whole West Coast, his non-stop grinding and huslting has brought him up to a point where people look at him as one of the West Coasts most promising prospects.

He's part of the Riflemen crew which consists of the legendary Mobb Deep from the East, and West Coast legends Kurupt & Jayo Feloney. All together, backed by smashing production from Havoc & Alchemist, these boys are bound to shake up the game.

As we reported a few weeks back, the Riflemen are currently looking for the right deal to release the completed album on, and are also gonna release a mixtape really soon.

To back up what I just said about 40 Glocc, I have three songs below for ya'll to check out. The first one features Petey Pablo, who's been rumoured to have signed with Death Row, and Jayo Felony. The song is called "Shame" and is a definite BANGER!

Check it out below:

40 Glocc, Petey Pablo & Jayo Felony - Shame

The next song I have for you is a 40 Glocc solo song called "Runnin'". The copy I'm puttin' up is just a ruff mix, it's not the final mix. Check it out below:

40 Glocc - Runnin'

And last, but not least is a song from J Steez' upcoming album (look for a detailed J Steez update tomorrow with more audio). The song features Suga Free, Weasel Loc & 40 Glocc and is called "On Point" and is banging as shit. Suga Free is at his BEST on this one!

J Steez ft. 40 Glocc, Weasel Loc & Suga Free - On Point


This is it for now, but we're gonna bring you an in-depth 40 Glocc interview soon, aswell as audio from his newest project:

40 Glocc & Kurupt Present.... The Zoo Babies!

Stay tuned!

This song is bound to cause ALOT of controversy, as Kurupt and Jayo Felony go after... (big surprise)... Daz. 40 Glocc, to me, really shines on this one, Jayo, as always, kills it, and Kurupt comes very solid. I really like the chorus of the song.. it's addicting!

1097012913 - January 1, 1970 By : Friday October 1st found the Malibu Inn being invaded by the Project Blowed and other West Coast Underground acts. Big shouts to Brian Lewis & Juda Starr for putting on the show. Thanks for lacing your boy with some VIP acess. I got you on anything you need homie. Now, back to the show.

I showed up with LatinaBeatz(from this site, with her fine ass. LOL.) and her cousin, about half way into the first set. The first group up was 7th Sign. Seen them before, real dope group. Didn't get any pics though. They are actually a 7-8 person squad, including a drummer, but this night they only had 5 people. Not sure why. Nonetheless, I suggest peeping them out here. Preview their album on CDBaby.com. Their emcees are very powerful and don't follow that usual Compton sound. Very dope group who are yet to get the attention they deserve. They have a singer, a Reggaeton artist, male emcees, female emcees, the works. A real eclectic group with a real crazy sound and great message. Now, they're not on some preachy shit, but they're socially concious, and all of them can spit it hot. Watch for more on them here in the coming weeks. On to the next act.

Hailing from the Northside of Long Beach is the Project Blowedians Da Mon Star Mob. I've also brought them up before on the site during a few of my reviews, these cats are SERIOUS. Skarekrow on the beats, and let me tell you, this boy is a problem. He's got some of the illest beats I've heard in a minute. Jul Unique, L-Swift & Onslaught are very dope emcees, I might add, as well. They all have mad energy and spit heat for the streets and the clubs. I got a couple videos of their performance so you can see for yourself. I'll be dropping that in the coming time. I'm for sure gonna bring a lot more info on this group. They're being slept on, but it's time to change all that. They got an album dropping and another one coming sooner than you think. Check out their official website.

Next up, more Blowed members, Customer Service. This is an 8 man squad, but they only had 6 members with them. They all looked rather young, but all controlled the mic well. This group is truely breaking down the color lines, so to say, we find in Hip Hop today. They got cats of all colors and creeds and cultures in their group. I had heard their name before, but I've never seen them. I enjoyed their set. They have fun with Hip Hop, but keep it in it's purest form. But, if you're a close minded person who only wants gangsta shit, they may not be for you. Anyway, the entire crew has some real good energy. I enjoyed their set. I'll also be bringing info on them. If you don't frequent the Project Blowed events on Thursdays, you can keep up with the crew on their Official site or their page on Myspace also. Look for a video of some of their perfomance coming soon.

Now don't sleep on this next emcee. He's one of THE illest on the West Coast, hell, he's one of the illest in all of Hip Hop. I don't give a fuck, I'm big uppin' him like that. Trenseta is NOT for play. On the mic he's a beast. He's cocky, but he backs it up. He has witty punchlines, but DO NOT confuse him for a punchline emcee. Tren comes with depth, real lyrics and a great live show. On stage, he's no different that he is on CD. Anyone who heard his Uncut Vol. 1 mixtape will know what I mean. Unfortunately, my camera started acting up during his performance, I was only able to get a few pictures and the video cut off. Not to worry, I'll be bringing the scoop on Tren and his Urban Legendz crew, soon.

Planet Asia. What else is there to say? A Legend. An amazing emcee. One of the greats out here. His live show is a must see. He comes out solo. No hype man, which is a major plus. He gets the crowd very hype. He performed some old cuts and did a lot of new shit. He even treated us to a cut off his up coming Mixtape. It was tight as hell. I got it on tape and I'll be bringing that exclusively to ya'll here. Also, during his set, Asia pointed out legendary Hip Hop producer Battlecat(shouts to BC!) in the crowd. He mentioned that he and Cat will be collabing, so be on the look for that. It's gonna be major. One of the illest producers with one of the illest emcees, can't wait. Also, don't forget, As is doing a full album with Evidence of Dilated Peoples. He's working hard, so support the man damn it!

To close the show, you had the leader of the Project Blowed, Aceyalone. As always he puts on a great show, going through classics and new material. Just as with the rest of the acts, I got some video of his performance. You'll just have to keep checking back for that. It's gonna be off the hook. Ace ended his set by bringing up a bunch of emcees who performed and they all started freestyling, in classic Project Blowed fashion. Cats from Customer Service and other Blowedians like Non-Stop went up and busted. Even Planet Asia joined in on the fun. Great way to end a great show. I'll be keeping ya'll informed on the Blowed as well, too. All the artists.

Here are some pictures to keep you occupied until I get the videos ready.

He told told Mtv:
" 'Higher' is my second single, Dre put it out because by the time we get ready to shoot the 'Higher' video you know [the song].
It's gonna catch on, and it's gonna be bananas. The [first] single is a joint called 'Fresh '83.' I call it 'Fresh '83' because that's when Dr. Dre did his first beat, in 1983.
I heard [the beat to my song], and it sounds like it was his first beat. He said he did it a long time ago, back in the N.W.A days."

1097238332 - January 1, 1970 By : Death Row Records, the cult rap and hip hop record label run by rap mogul Suge Knight; has signed a mobile deal with digital media company Buongiorno that will offer fans truetone sounds, wallpaper and videos of its artists for the first time.

The exclusive content deal will include material from rappers like Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Kurupt...


It will be distributed globally by Buongiorno in a deal brokered by entertainment industry specialist The Nickels Group.

Death Row Records is known as the pioneer of gangsta rap and was created by former Bobby Brown bodyguard Suge Knight in 1992. The label launched the careers of generation of artists, including the late Tupac Shakur.

Content available will include truetones of original classics such as Tupac's 'How Do You Want It' and Snoop Dogg's 'Who Am I (What's My Name)', as well as artists' videos and previously unreleased photographs.

Because the content is truetone, consumers get ringtones that are the original song rather than a polyphonic version of it.

According to Suge Knight, founder and CEO of Death Row Records: "We selected Buongiorno Vitaminic as our preferred partner due to its significant global distribution footprint and its unparalleled understanding of the wireless content space."

The agreement with Death Row Records is part of Buongiorno's strategy to offer high quality content services to mobile phones worldwide.

Burton Katz, managing director at Buongiono Vitaminic UK, said: "Gangsta rap has a cult status -- it makes sense to give fans of Death Row Records artists more ways to access both the music and the visuals."

1097602507 - January 1, 1970 By : MTV.com have some news up on Ice Cube. Check it out below:

Shooting the $118 million "XXX: State of the Union" has been a different sort of movie experience for Ice Cube.

"This movie's taking up a lot of time," the rapper said during a break at a soundstage last week.

Between training for the role and shooting all summer in Baltimore, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., Cube has had little opportunity to work at his other job. An album planned for late '04 is now looking like a fall 2005 release (see "Ice Cube Ready To Work On Solo LP, Still In Talks With Dre").

In the meantime, Cube has found the time to do one track and hopes to do another before his "XXX" sequel hits theaters.

"I did a single with Lil Jon. He from the dirty dirty, so it's gotta be gutter. He flew out here and we put it down. I think he's doin' a rock version of it. It's called 'The Real N---a Roll Call,' so we had to do it right."

The song, which has been called "Roll Call" on mixtapes, will be featured on Jon's Crunk Juice, due November 16 (see "Lil Jon Mixing Up A Potent New Batch Of Crunk Juice"). Cube and Jon are also talking about teaming to do a song for the "XXX: State of the Union" soundtrack.

"I want something hard," Cube said. "So we been kinda putting our brains together trying to come up with it."

But while Cube's been hitting it off with Jon, talks regarding teaming up with Dr. Dre have fizzled.

"I don't know if that situation is gonna work out, but who knows," said Cube, who was poised to record with Dre and sign to the producer's Aftermath imprint (see "Dr. Dre To Produce Next Ice Cube Record"). "Dre got real busy last year, and the year before that he dropped 50. So I'm doing my thing, he doing his. I'd love to [work with] him."

On the movie front, Cube can next be seen alongside Jay Mohr and Nia Long in "Are We There Yet?," opening January 28. "I play a bachelor who don't like kids, [and I'm] trying to get with their mother, and of course they don't like me," Cube said. "So we kind of meet in the middle and by the end of the day we're at each other's throats."

"XXX: State of the Union" follows a few months later, on May 13.

I reported on a few of their upcoming shows, but they've been pushed back. The show this Thursday, with Members of the Visionaries, Brother J and Trenseta, was pushed back to Jan. 7 of 2005, still at the same venue(Vault 350). The show on Friday, with Buckshot, Brother J and others, has been bumped to Jan. 8 of 2005. But, Buckshot will STILL be at the Malibu Inn this Friday, he'll do a few tracks, but the real performance will come in Jan. Stay tuned for that. If you're in the L.A. area, pick up the L.A. Weekly, look for the ad for Friday's show, you'll be in for a pleasant suprise. Peace!

Max Julian who has been in The Regime has put the finnishing touches to his album called "Smoke N Roll".

After listening to the album I gotto say it was one of the best albums to comeout in quite awhile.
The production is super tight and Max Julian's lyrics and wordplay is on point. He has very little guest appearances on the album which is a good thing because Max Julian can hold his own.

Dubcnn lets you listen to a few cuts from this supertight album:
Max Julian "Im In Love" ft Val Young and Charlie Wilson
Max Julian "Smokin N Rollin"(First Single)
Max Julian "Hummer For The Summer"

"B-Sharp man, that's me. BC Powder, that's me. Battlecat, that's me. It's just different sides and aspects of me. I love it, when people say "Who's that B-Sharp dude, he sounds like Battlecat". I'm just trying out new things, new sounds, and the 213 album was just the first LP of me as B-Sharp. You gonna see B-Sharp, again, cause I'm sharp man, anybody that knows me knows I'm sharp. I'ma be Battlecat too, it's all me man."

And about the whole 213 Lawsuit thing, which caused alot of controversy, he explained that it's strictly business.
"I had to sue 'em! They put out the record without havin' the contract finished! I gotta get my money man, it ain't no personal problems. I did the music, i gotta get paid. Ain't no beef or no nothin' that muthafuckas be tryna tell you. It's business homie!."

1098991474 - January 1, 1970 By : First off, I'd like to apologize for this update taking so long. I've been have a few problems over here, so I haven't had much of a chance to update on the site. But, better late than never.

About 2 weeks ago, I hit up the Cali Comm Tour with Del, Haiku D'Etat, Zion I, Bukue 1 & Tee Double. I went to the show at the Glass House in Pomona. Nice spot for a show, they just need to change that Alcohol policy. Anyway, Bukue 1 & Tee Double were first up. First time I had ever heard of them, but they were tight. Busted some real dope freestyles and did some of their own songs. Since this was my first time seeing them, I'm not sure names of their songs, but I liked what I heard. Tee Double has his "Lone Star LP" out now. If you can find that, scoop it.

Next up was Zion I with Deuce Eclipse. They went through a lot of album cuts and including "Cheeba Cheeba." AmpLive was killin' it on the drum machine. Zion and Deuce had a grip of energy, they had everyone bouncing. Both Zion I and Deuce Eclipse got mixtapes out right now. If you get a chance, peep those out.

A bunch Project Blowed cats came out to open for Haiku. Non-Stop and Reggae artist Jah Orah, among others. They did a nice job of getting the crowd ready. Once Aceyalone, Myka 9 and Abstract Rude hit the stage, the crowd really got into it. They did tracks off the first album, as well as cuts off the new album, namely "Mike, Aaron And Eddie." On top of that, Myka was ripping acapellas like he always does. Their set ended with a huge posse cut. Busdriver and a whole bunch of Blowed cats came on stage and ripped it. Their set was real hot. Pick up Coup D'Theatre.

Del closed the show. He did cuts off of most his albums, including "I Wish My Brother George Was Here" and "Both Sides Of The Brain." He brought out Opio. Op was promoting his new album "Triangulation Station." They did cuts off of some of the Hiero albums. Overall, I was diggin' Del's set. Never seen him live before. He has some good crowd control. If this tour hits your city, peep it. Very much worth your money.

Thanks to Non-Stop, Badru and Ben for the hook up into the show.

Here's some pics:

1099241374 - January 1, 1970 By : First of all I have to say that I am really dissapointed in this album... I'm sure none of us were expecting a classic from Snoop Dogg on the Neptunes label, but atleast something decent.

The newest Snoop Dogg LP features Nelly (!), Lil Jon, Justin Timberlake (!!!), Trina, Daz, Soopafly, Pharell and more.

The main subject of the album is love, alot of love songs or about women in general.

However there a few decent tracks on there, check out 3 preview songs from the record below and make up your own mind wether you will be spending your $15 on this record or not.

Snoop Dogg - Promise I

Snoop Dogg - Step Ya Game Up (ft. Daz)

1099269124 - January 1, 1970 By : From the Northside of Houston, Texas comes the 6 feet 6 inch emcee named Slim Thug. If you keep your ear to the streets, you already know who he is. He's been grinding in Houston's underground, killing mixtapes with his crew Boss Hogg Outlawz, as well as Michael 5000 Watts and The Swisha House, for years. You might know him from his work with the legendary E.S.G.. But, most of you, will know him for sure now. His debut CD "Already Platinum" is on the way and will be dropping on The Neptunes' label Star Trak in conjunction with Geffen Records.

Right now, you can catch Thugga in two videos on rotation. One is "Still Tippin'", which features Swisha House emcees Mike Jones and Paul Wall. That's a single from a Swisha House release entitled "The Day Hell Broke Loose 2." The other video is Slim's first single, which features, the legend, Bun B of U.G.K. and one of the hottest emcees in the South right now, Atlanta's T.I. The track's called "3 Kings." Keep your eyes open for those. They're BOTH heaters. The album will have Neptunes production, as well as Jazze Pha. On top of all that, Jay-Z drops a guest verse on "I Ain't Heard Of That." The Neptunes are working with various producers from Houston, keepin' the vibe very Southern.

When Thugga blings on tracks, believe, he's REALLY doing it. If you've seen his spot on "You Heard It First" on MTV, he talks about his owning a 7,000 sq. foot house, a Bentley, a Record store and Real Estate. Step ya bling rap game up! Shit's about to change. I've been following this cat since 1999, it's REAL good to see him get on the map, now.

The album will be out around December, keep an eye for it. If you're disapointed by Snoop's album on Star Trak, don't shy away from this, PLEASE!

1099460299 - January 1, 1970 By : Xzibit is set to release "Weapons of Mass Destruction" on December 7th, it will be released on Sony Music.
The album features production from Timbaland, Hi-Tek, Rick Rock, Battlecat, Denaun Porter, Jellyroll, Sir Jinx and more.
(No word on if the Dr.Dre produced "Grown man business" makes the album, or if it's retitled)


Those who have heard the Timbaland produced first single "Hey Now" will be pleased to know that the album will have more serious subject matters.
Xzibit told MTV:
"I have always been aware of my surroundings. So not putting that in the forefront of my creativity would be a travesty. I had to put it out there."
The first track on the album takes aim at George W. Bush, twisting his own words against him, comparing Bush to his enemies.
The Jellyroll produced "Cold World" also have a political message.

About working with Timbaland:
"Timbaland was crazy to work with. When he stepped in the studio, it was like working with Morpheus from 'The Matrix' — he stepped in with three beats and said, 'Pick one.' They all sounded crazy, but I could only pick one. I picked one and he hooked me up. I never wrote like that before either. He scatted out something for me and then I wrote the lyrics to it."

Tracklist:

1. State of the Union
2. LAX
3. Cold World
4. Saturday Night Live (featuring Jelly Roll)
5. Muthafucka
6. Beware of Us (featuring Strong Arm Steady)
7. Judgement Day

1100613006 - January 1, 1970 By : Last nights Vibe Awards in California seem to have been total chaos. From Suge Knight yellin' out "Fuck The G-Unit" on stage, to Dr. Dre getting attacked by somebody in the crowd right when he was getting his lifetime achievement award presented to by Snoop Dogg & Quincy Jones, to somebody getting stabbed.

It is still not too clear what exactly went on, and it looks like the media is trying to cover up some shit, as MTV.com changed their article on this after an hour, taking out Suge's name. However, I have a link for you below to check out, it is a video of what happened from the news, check it out below:

News Report On The Vibe Awards and then click on the right under "Featured Videos" on "Chaos At Award Show".

Here are some pictures from the show:

Game & 50 Cent On Stage

Snoop Dogg & Quincy Jones Presenting Award

Crowd At The Show

Here is a news article on this:

"SANTA MONICA, Calif. - One person was stabbed at the second annual Vibe awards Monday as rapper Snoop Dogg and producer Quincy Jones were preparing to honor Dr. Dre with a lifetime achievement award, authorities and witnesses said.

Dozens of people sitting near the stage Monday inside a hangar at the Santa Monica Municipal Airport began shoving each other as the show wound down about 7:30 p.m., a photographer who covered the event for The Associated Press said.

News video showed chairs being thrown, punches flying, people chasing one another and some being restrained.

"To my understanding ... the show was going on when the stabbing occurred," said police Lt. Frank Fabrega in a press conference following the fight.

It was unclear if the stabbing preceded or followed the fight. The victim, a 26-year-old man, was taken to a hospital and was listed in stable condition.

Police were looking for the assailant and no arrests have been made.

Witness Frank Williams told KCAL-TV that Dr. Dre was involved in the brawl.

"I saw Dr. Dre fighting somebody," Williams said. "I don't know if he was fighting back. But there was a guy taken out basically bloodied."

Andrea Ferguson, employed by a public relations firm that worked with Vibe for the awards ceremony, called the incident a "disruption" but declined to provide details. She added the show was allowed to continue but it was halted for about five minutes.

Dr. Dre, who was scheduled to receive a Vibe Legend Award for his lifetime contributions to hip-hop, had not come on stage yet when the fight erupted. Jones and Snoop Dogg stood on stage without saying anything.

"My understanding is that it was somewhat chaotic in there," Fabrega said.

About 1,000 people attended the event, some of whom scurried for the exits when the fight broke out.

"It's really important that we don't take a negative incident like this and do away with the awards," Suge Knight told reporters."

We'll keep you updated.

Crooked Stilo will be performing tomorrow, Tuesday, November 23rd, with Mellow Man Ace, Don Cisco, Kemo The Blaxican, Locura Terminal, Reazn and many more at the House Of Blues on the Sunset Strip. Her update, which is about half the page down, contains the flyer. Make sure you peep this show, as it's Latin HIP HOP at it's finest. Especially if you're tired of that BULLSHIT you hear on Pocos Pero Locos.

In other Latin Hip Hop news, JenRO's album The Revelation underwent major surgery. According to Young Joe the "beats are slappin', front to back now. At the moment we don’t know what features will stay but trust it will be Hot. That should be out in March and we plan on shooting her video at the end of January." You can catch JenRo on VH1’s “My Coolest Years,” airing next month.

Here are two new songs she recorded: "Ain't Ready" and "Red Rova."

For the latest on JenRo check her official site.

Big Ups to Young Joe of Unknown Muzic and EstiloUrbano.net for the heads up.

1101172290 - January 1, 1970 By : All of you established, underground, independent, up and coming, but most importantly, DOPE artists: If you're interested in doing shows at the Vault 350 in Long Beach, this is a must read. Juda Starr Ent. is getting together Hip Hop shows at this location, which has hosted shows, for the likes of Too Short, Digital Underground, and MANY more and will soon have shows from KRS-One, Bone Thugs and others to it's name. A good Hip Hop crowd is always in attendance. The spot it's self is spacious, has many bars, a big stage and a huge floor. I'd compare it to a House Of Blues set up and is in a great location in Long Beach, on Pine Ave. near all the clubs. If this interests you in anyway, please contact Juda at (562) 239-1178 or (562) 590-5566. You can E-Mail him at: billionforce@yahoo.com or Juda@vault350.com. as well. It don't matter where you're from, if you want to perform, just hit him up. This is a great oppurtunity for many artists out there, don't let this chance slip away.

Check the Vault 350's site for info on the location.

1101173904 - January 1, 1970 By : A week and half ago, DubCNN was in full effect at the Sony offices for the Xzibit "Weapons Of Mass Destruction" listening party. I was gonna put up a review of what I thought of the album, but was shocked to see that it had already been leaked to the net. I didn't feel the need to let everyone know the scoop on the album, since most probably already heard it by then. But, with a little persuasive talks, thanks to Yash, I'll drop a tiny review. In the house that night was Super Producer Bosko, Latin Fros, Damizza and a few others. Sony were great hosts. They had an open bar the whole night, along with free Valet Parking, which I'm not used to, at all. So big ups to them for that, I for one appreciated it.

As for the album, it knocked, seriously. This is a major step up from Restless and Man Vs. Machine, both of which I disliked. The production was NICE on this album, very fitting for X. The features were crazy, Steady Gang on a track with Suga Free? WOW! Everyone held their own. For me, it was nice to hear Phil Da Agony and Krondon finally get the recognition they deserve. I felt X really got his bars up this go around. Since he's rollin' with SAS, it seems his mind is back in the right place. Make sure you cop this album. And here's some pics.

1101251178 - January 1, 1970 By : Hailing from North East Los Angeles, in the city of Highland Park, comes this bilingual wonder, known as Reazn. When I first met Reazn in August at the Latin Rap Conference in San Diego, we chopped game about Hip Hop and life in general, and clicked right away. He likes everyone from the Dungeon Family to Too Short, not to mention he lives the B-Boy lifestyle. He breaks, he emcees and he graf's, retaining 3 of Hip Hop's key elements. He's not just some Chicano Rapper you hear on Pocos Pero Locos.

Flipping in English and Spanish, Reazn is a rarity in the Hip Hop game. He's no slouch in either language, when he busts, he's as serious as cancer. On his album La Razon De Ser, translated as Reason Being, he touches on the streets, his life, growth and a number of other social concepts that are rarely touched upon in Hip Hop, especially in Latin Hip Hop. His album is tough, I bumped it the weekend I got it, and haven't stopped yet. I conducted a real short Mini Interview outside of Sinful of Tha Mexakinz' album release party with Reazn. Peep that to get insight from the man himself. I'll put text up for it soon, and believe me, I'll bring a more in depth interview soon, as well.

Here is 3 songs from his album, so you can hear what he's working with. First is the catchy Espanol O Ingles, then we got, exactly what the title suggests, something new in the track Algo Nuevo and last but not least, Reazn invites you into his life with Welcome To My World. If you enjoyed these tracks, or want to hear more of Reazn, you can cop the album for 10 dollars or listen to a few more tracks here.

Shouts to the whole Contraband Records crew!!!

Now I'm going to take you just East of Los Angeles, into the Desert area, in a VERY important city in California, for the growth of Latinos, called Coachella. Here we find Malverde. He brings an amazing presence on the mic. He flips his raps in Spanish like no other. The first time I heard his album I was hooked. His rhymes are intelligent, yet understandable and rather catchy. I also conducted a Mini Interview with the man outside of Sinful's release party, so go ahead and listen to that to hear more from him and who he is. Much like with Reazn, we'll bring you a more indepth interview with Malverde soon. He has a lot to say, and DubCNN is willing to be the outlet for that.

On to his album. Mi Palabra, which means "My Word," contains 13 tracks, fully in Spanish. Even though some of you may not be able to understand Spanish, the production WILL catch your attention, without a doubt. He carries a militant mindset, with the ability to move the crowd. He pays his respects for the man he got his name from, Jesus Malverde, as well as brings to light issues he's lived with and many others who came up as he did, have lived with. To get a taste of Malverde, here's three tracks, as well:

The title track, Mi Palabra, the infectious Sonador and finally the insightfull Asi So Yo.

If you enjoyed those tracks, make sure you head to his Official Site and cop the album.

Both of these artists are performing tonight at the House Of Blues on the Sunset Strip. I strongly suggest peeping this show out, to not only see them, but Crooked Stilo, Kemo, Mellow Man Ace and others.

Latin Hip Hop is here, and it ain't a game anymore!!! Latinos stand the fuck up!

But CONTAC has been saving his best for last. "It's time to show and prove that "EEYEAYA" is indeed the album that I've always wanted to make." His producers on this project are talented beyond belief, and they have brought something real spicy to the table.

He was born on the east coast (Connecticut), raised in the Midwest (Minnesota)and dirty south rooted from Arkansas, his unique sound and lyrical weaponry is guaranteed to Blow-up. Most recently, CONTAC worked on collaboration with Atlanta's own Lil Jon & The Eastside Boys (BME/TVT Records). The song "Do Something is a very crunk up-tempo song that is ready for action.

He also took a trip to the westcoast and recorded a song with Kurupt called "Whats Pappin" and the other song he did while being in california was the banger "What We Do" featuring Bad Azz.

Make sure you go out and checkout his album titled "Eeyeaya Ready 2 Play"!

1101988304 - January 1, 1970 By : Man, man, man. I'ma prolly give ya'll a heart attack one of these days with all these news! But I got to do it! Our new staff member Justin had the chance to catch with the legendary, the one and only DJ Quik in L.A.

Now what new staff member gets a interview of this caliber after just a week?? Applaud Justin, ya'll, the man comin' through big time. DJ Quik was cool as hell, gave tons of info about some of the following:

- When his new albums coming out.
- His new mad science label & artists on his label.
- Who he wants to work with.
- His thoughts on DJ'ing with game.
- His thoughts on retirement after under the influence.
- His relationship with Suga Free.
- The Petey Pablo incident, and what would have happened if both of them were in the club at the same time.
- Nate Dogg punking Petey Pablo.
- The 50 Cent remarks by him about not being a gangsta.
- Him meeting 50 cent.
- His criticism of past albums.
- Expanding his horizons into different genre.
- Working with crooked i,
- His favorite albums and songs from his discography, the Game tour, the house of blues sunset show..

So now if this is not fucking unbelievable, I don't know what it is. Like Bad Azz said, "Dubcnn, we kill'em baby!"

Special thanks to the Quikster for being cool as fuck and answering the questions, it's appreciated! Lookout for the interview this week!

1102007274 - January 1, 1970 By : Back again with another bang, this time I have the video to The Game's new video "How We Do" aka "Fresh '83", which features 50 Cent and was produced by Dr. Dre.

It's a typical G-Unit video, alotta flashiness, club scenes, nice cars, smoke, all that. Personally, I was hoping Game would keep it gutter with his first video, sort of like Young Buck did, but hey, it's still a tight video, cameos by Dr. Dre & DJ Quik.

Download it below:

Well that boy Scipio, for those who are still sleeping, is one of the illest emcees out right now. I was priveleged enough to be with Scipio, Warrior, Strong, Da Riffs and others when they were filming a DVD. During that time, I was able to sit down and do a quick interview with Scipio. We talk about his outlook on his career, Ras Kass, the state of Los Angeles Hip Hop and much more. On top of that, I was also able to grab the producer team of the moment Da Riffs and get an interview with them, too. As you can see with Coast Control, they do most of the production on these mixtapes and, as you'll hear in the interview, they handle tons of production for Video Games. We speak about who they've worked with, plan on working with, their musical tastes and more. Peep those interviews out, as audio for the moment, and don't forget to cop DJ Warrior's mixtapes and support Scipio and Da Riffs also!

1102127224 - January 1, 1970 By : This season, hiphop merges with Hollywood in a major way as the third and final film to be released from the mega-popular “Blade” trilogy spotlights Kool Keith and his group Thee Undatakerz’ innovative CD and their single, “Party In The Morgue." The New Line Cinema Blade series’ grand finale, “Blade: Trinity,” starring Wesley Snipes, features cutting edge filmmaking, special effects and technologically advanced creative sound effects, making it a high-tech, cinemascopic auditory experience for hiphop fans.
Highlighting the innovative score, composed by Wu Tang leader RZA, is the film’s climactic fight scene, which is set to the song by Kool Keith and The Undatakerz’ “Party In The Morgue,” taken from the CD, “Kool Keith Presents Thee Undatakerz” which was produced by the critically acclaimed DJ Daniel Merlot.
Already having received rave reviews, “Party In The Morgue” along with its innovative music video, has been compared to the controversial, mega-hit “Smack My Bitch Up,” the Kool Keith and Prodigy collaboration that achieved multi-platinum status worldwide.
“Kool Keith Presents Thee Undatakerz” featuring the “Party In The Morgue” track was released by Activate Entertainment. The album features a hybrid disc, which plays the CD on all standard audio players. It also contains an enhanced format, so if played in a DVD player, the music video for the title track can be viewed.
What also contributes to making the album an item that is much sought after by hiphop fans is that the disc also contains an a cappella hidden bonus track of “Party In The Morgue,” so that fans can make their own mix and send them to the record label at http://www.2activate.com to enter a competition. The producer of the winning remix will receive a record deal and an appearance on a major upcoming movie soundtrack.
In other Kool Keith activity, Daniel Merlot of the group Crash Berlin, has recorded a self-titled album that will be released on February 1, which contains the European smash collaboration with Kool Keith, “Movin’ The Hype Track.”
Meanwhile, the soundtrack album of the “Blade: Trinity” film has also been released, on which artists joining Kool Keith and the Undatakerz include Raekwon, RZA, E-40, Fat Joe, Ghostface Killah, Lil Flip and the late, great, Old Dirty Bastard

Willie D, Scarface & Bushwich Bill's new album War & Peace is dropping on Rap-A-Lot Records and is already looking promising. As usual, it's being executive produced by J.Prince. I know I can't wait for it. DubCNN, like we always do, bring you the exclusives. Here's the first video for ya'll to peep out. It's called Yes Yes Ya'll. I dig the video. It shows the group back in the hood and still in the club. There's plenty of good lookin' women in it and cameos from Juvenile, Slim Thug & Bun B.

Also, here's what Willie D has to say:

"It’s definitely not a departure from the old Geto Boys shit. The only thing that is really different about the album is the beats are more up-tempo. But our energy level is still the same and our subject matter is still the same. We’re still championing the cause of the underserved. We’re still Geto Boys for life.”

As you can see it's official! I'm glad to see these dudes back. Real legends in the game, still putting out quality records.

1102381302 - January 1, 1970 By : The G-Child Warren G let me know some news about his upcoming, still untitled, solo album. But from what he's saying, this record is going to be very musical, very instrumental, very bass heavy. "Let the game unfold, G-Funk Classic Part Two!", he says.

"I'm on my own again, it's back to the G-Funk era!"

He's said to be hooking back up with The Twinz on some music, and he's recently been in the studio with the 5 Footaz. After a dissapointing 213, Warren is trying to come back hard with his solo, and don't hold your breath for Nate to be on there. (Yes, Warren and Nate are COOL, to quiet all the "beef" rumours I can see cookin' up from that comment!)

The record is still in the beginning stages though, so ain't no tellin' what will happen and who will be on there. The G-Child is just working in the studio right now, trying to put it down, so we can get some new G-Funk Flava next summer!

Stay tuned right here for the newest concerning Warren G as always, big shoutout to him!

The project was put together by Big C-Style & Frank Nitty. They aren't recording yet, but it's going to go down in near future.

This is a real dream team, I'm especially happy to see Bad Azz and Crooked I back fucking with each other after a long, long break, due to Crooked I being on Death Row.

Lookout for interviews with Big C-Style, Lil C-Style, Techniec, Bad Azz, and Crooked I coming here soon regarding that situation.

1102553873 - January 1, 1970 By : I just wanted to pay respect to a local lady who wasn't afraid to play West Coast music and unsigned artists that were hungry to be heard. You'll be missed Break-A-Dawn =(




MAITLAND, Fla. -- Orlando radio listeners are mourning the loss of a local morning show personality.

Complications from pregnancy killed Dawn Blackstone Fleming Wednesday morning, who used the on-air name "Break-A-Dawn," WESH NewsChannel 2 reported.

She was a newlywed and a new mom.

Break-A-Dawn was part of the "Wake-Up Posse" on the morning drive at 102 JAMZ. She handled community and entertainment news for the hip-hop station and used her talents to help dozens of charities in Central Florida.

Earnest James, the senior vice president at 102 JAMZ, said everyone at the station feels they've just lost a family member. Fleming was more than an on-air talent: She was the station's leader in community outreach and a sparkplug personality with a warm heart who will be sadly missed.

She was newly married and set to deliver her first child when doctors told her she was having trouble with dangerously high blood pressure. She went off the air and into the hospital last month. She delivered her new daughter just before Thanksgiving, but then lapsed into a coma.

"The birth of her child is what she gave her life for. So, it's important that I do my part to recognize Dawn as the heroine that she was," James said.

Just 31 years old, Fleming lost her battle Wednesday morning. Her co-workers are being offered grief counseling, and sympathy cards are likely to pour into the station, joining the dozens of thank-you notes and awards from the charitable organizations that benefited from Break-A-Dawn's weekly broadcasts that focused on people most in need.

Karen Yeager, who runs Place of Comfort in Longwood, said she'll remember Fleming not just for her radio broadcasts that helped her agency collect food and toys, but for her personal commitment to help struggling kids and families.

"She truly had the heart of a volunteer. How else to be remembered? She really has a legacy," she said.

On her station Web site's bio page, Break-A-Dawn wrote: "We are not promised tomorrow."

Her co-workers now understand that painful truth.

"Her way would have been to live fully for today," James said.

102 JAMZ has been flooded with calls about Fleming. Funeral arrangements are being made as her family struggles to cope. Station management said at least one of the services being planned will be open to the public.

One ray of light in all of this: Her new daughter, born premature, appears to be healthy and doing well.

1102928260 - January 1, 1970 By : The homies over at Ground Up got some new heat they wanted me to let ya'll check out.

Ground Up Records is the newest and hottest label on the West Coast. It's home of Logic, Manson, E-Nuff, Scan, Swiss Cash and Juan Jones.

Ground Up was founded in October of 2003. It's the perfect name for the label considering that the CEO Donald Johnson ran his company operations from his Navy paycheck. He runs Ground Up Records like his mentors Damon Dash (Roc-a-Fella Records), Russell Simmons (DEF JAM), and Lyor Cohen (Warner Brothers). He studies his mentors blueprints for success and applies them to his record label. On top of running an up and coming record label he serves in the United States Navy, he is stationed in Ventura CA and has been in the Navy for 5 years.

Jason Strother is the Company General Manager and Don will always say “Jason is a genius and is smarter then I am on a lot of industry topics.” The first artist signed to Ground Up was Logic. The West is really thriving for an artist with Logic's style, charisma and lyrical prowess. Some of the West Coast hottest artists have reached out to record with him; artists like Knoc-Turnal, Spitfiya, Planet Asia, Tha Relatives, Techneic (Dynamis Certified) and many others have took notice to what’s going to be the biggest label and artist on the West Coast. Major labels have already showed interest in Ground Up and Logic such as Ballr Records, Def Jam (East) and Interscope Records. His album will be hitting the streets soon and is yet to be titled but is sure going to give the West an extra platinum plaque. Logic was signed with the now shutdown Rawkus Records when he was 18 years old and since has been ripping MC’s and amazing every A&R at every Major Label and now, teamed with Donald Johnson, he is set for stardom and is going to be a major part in the resurrection of the Left Coast. Ground Up will be Logic's home forever just like every other artist on Ground Up as every artist is real serious and committed to the Ground Up emblem. Logic states “If it wasn’t for Don getting me back rapping none of this that is happening and is going to happen in the future would be possible.”

The next MC’s that signed to Ground Up was Manson and Juan Jones. Jones is currently serving a bid in the California correctional facility in Taft California but will be out next year. Manson is a versatile rapper that started rapping when he was eleven years of age; him, Logic and Spitfiya (Next Up Interscope) formed a group named “Dot Com." Manson's voice tells a story like no other rapper that graced the mic before. His songs tells a story that will give you chills and before you get to cold he will have you dancing with his tongue spitting lyrics. Manson, just like all of the Ground Up artists, will go down in history in hip-hop. His album “The Gemini” is going to be slated for later on this year and is going to be one of the best albums ever on the West Coast.

The next artist on the roster was a CEO pick, and that is Scan. Scan caught the attention of Don while freestyling at the Spitfiya video shoot. It took six months for Don and Spitfiya to put a tap on the streets of Compton, Watts, Gardena, Inglewood and neighboring cities to find the mystery MC. Once found, Scan has not disappointed his label mates or even more importantly his hard to please label exec. He spits hard and his lyrics are off the charts. Scan brings to Ground Up raw lyrics layered on top of cleverness. He has worked with many top producers and his album is slated for later in the year.

E-Nuff is the official left hand of Ground Up. His voice, lyrics and delivery will make him one of the greatest MC’s ever to come out on the Left Coast. He's been rapping since he was nine years of age and has been improving on every bar. E-Nuff was brought to Don by Manson and Logic and has been amazing the CEO ever since his first bar. His album is under development and will be coming out next year.

Last by not least is Swizz Cash; he is the newest member of the Ground Up classic roster of MC’s. He was just recently released for jail and is excited to work with the label. He rapped side by side with the rest of the Dot Com family that consist of Logic, Manson and Spitfiya (Interscope). He'll bring the streets and the nightlife of the West Coast on wax and will keep you on your toes with his delivery and versatility.

The Ground Up roster is full of talent that is going to explode on the West Coast. Each of the artists are lyricist and the average age is only twenty one so Ground Up will be around for a long time to come.--Tha Schizo WWW.WESTSIDERAP.COM

I have four cuts for ya'll to check out below, so make sure you peep them, these cats got some serious heat!!

Logic - What It Do (ft. Spitfiya)

Scan - Let 'Em Go (ft. Logic & Spitfiya)

Logic - Sup Crip, Sup Blood

Manson - Wake Up

Enjoy the songs, and look for much more coming from Ground Up in near future!

1103066913 - January 1, 1970 By : Looks like both of Kurupt's unreleased verses from the 2Pac track "Still Ballin'" are out now. Kurupt was replaced by Trick Daddy on the posthumous Pac release Better Dayz.

A remix was released on a DJ Vlad mixtape which seemed to have one of Kurupt's OG versions. Now, a new DJ Fatal remix is out, and it has another additional verse and a different beat than the Vlad or Better Dayz one. It's not using the same accapella as on Better Dayz neither, as it has 'Pac shouting on Kurupt at the beginning of the song.

So check it out for yourself, and if anybody has more info, holla at me here.

1103079115 - January 1, 1970 By : Kokane Is Back!!! The funkiest man on the coast is back cracking with a new underground record coming out called "Take It Back To The Clap". For those wondering, this is not the "Ghetto Gospel" album he talked about in our interview, but it's new material. The Gospel record is locked in the vaults and should be coming out after this one. I personally had the chance to listen to the Gospel record, and I have to say it's amazing. I wish I could post some clips for ya'll, cause it's really hot.

However, let's get back to this album. It's coming out on Burnt Out Music/Street Life Records, and is entirely produced by Fingazz. For those who don't know about Fingazz, just know that he's probably the best white producer on the West Coast. The man got beats for days, and he got it cracking on the talk box too!

For those who have never heard him, check out the song below, from Down's album, featuring Kam & Suga Free. This is just an example of the type of production Fingazz brings to the table.

Down ft. Kam & Suga Free - Caliways (prod. by Fingazz)

We should be having audio from the "Take It Back To The Clap" up soon, along with interviews with Koka & Fingazz. The record is scheduled for a March release, hopefully it sticks! It's straight West Coast, baby! Lookout for much more from Kokane, as I linked him up with the Cali Untouchable crew... oh boy!

1103901413 - January 1, 1970 By : Wednesday December 22, 2004 at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood found DubCNN in the midst of one of the illest shows this year. The line up included headliners and people you brought us this amazing show, the F.I.L.T.H.E.E. Immigrants, as well as Underground legends Mykill Myers, 2Mex & Busdriver. Along with plenty of Up and Coming artists like Global City, Borettta, Second State, Fats and others.

How much was it to get in you ask? 5 dollars or a Toy. All of these artists came out in support of a Toy drive! That's real ill. As they said during the show, "This time of the year is for the kids." The house was packed there's gonna be some very happy kids this Christmas. Props to Rif, Dutch & F.I.L.T.H.E.E. for putting this together.

The show was a heat rock in it's own. Everyone was given 10 minutes to do their set. And it moved very quickly. There was only one point of dead time during the entire show that boasted performances from over 10 artists. Pretty damn good, if you ask me.

All the acts were good. But, it wasn't until 2Mex and crew came out, that the crowd got crazy. On the first song of his set, a Mosh pit erupted. F.I.L.T.H.E.E. Immigrants continued the onslaught of hard hitting jams, keeping the Mosh pit going strong. But, when they brought out the special guests of the night, the place was truely bumping. For the first time since 1998, Sick Jacken of Psycho Realm and B-Real were on the same stage performing together. Along with Street Platoon, it was a perfect way of ending the night.


So, not only did the kids get a treat, but so did the fans. They witnessed Hip Hop history! Again, I'd like to thank the F.I.L.T.H.E.E. Immigrants for putting this together and giving back to the community. Also, I really would like to thank them for showing DubCNN so much love. Pick up their muthafuckin' album!!!!! Shouts to everyone who came out to support the kids!

Back in the late 80's there was The Goodlife Café in Leimert Park, which was an Open mic spot. No cussing was allowed and you were allowed to do one song. If you were wack, much like with the Apollo, you'd get booed. An enormous amount of people came up in the ranks there, such as Aceyalone, Kurupt, The Visionaries, Of Mexican Descent, Busdriver, Abstract Rude, Pigeon John, Dilated Peoples, among many others.

The Goodlife Cafe is something legendary in the History of L.A. Hip Hop. A few years later, it continued as the Project Blowed. Leimert Park and 43rd is the spot. Every Thursday night you can find it popping off. It's still a staple in the name of Los Angeles Hip Hop. Not only is it a weekly Open Mic, but it's also a crew. An amazing crew, at that. The members include Aceyalone & Freestyle Fellowship, Abstract Rude, 2Mex, Busdriver, C.V.E., Living Legends, Trendseta, Medusa, Hip Hop Clan, Volume 10 and many many more. Their extended family crazy, too. Dilated Peoples, Hieroglyphics, Pharcyde and Jurassic 5 to name a few, are all down with the Blowed.

So...If you're not familiar with this crew, you're about to be. Wednesday, December 29th, probably the last real dope show of 2004 and quite possibly the illest of the year is about to go down. In Celebration of the 10th Anniversary for the Project Blowed, damn near all of Los Angeles Hip Hop's best a brightest will be out to show their love. As you can see in the flyer, I posted to the left, the line up is already lookin' packed full of dope acts. The Q-Events Center in Hollywood has had some ill shows, but this might top them all. Expect lots of suprises and expect DubCNN in full effect reppin' and showin' our respect to one of the most important legacies in Hip Hop, period. Shouts to Badru, Non-Stop and the whole crew for showing DubCNN love and allowing us to be apart of this!

Be there and show the Blowed the love the deserve!

Wednesday December 29, 2004, pre-sale $15. Regular price $20. 6021 Hollywood Blvd.

1104171579 - January 1, 1970 By : Houston rapper Lil Flip's new album entitled I Gotta Get Mine is due out in late February or early March. For the album he's working with a number of producers, such as Texas duo Play-N-Skillz and R&B Crooner Mario Winans. But, look out for Flip to flex his production skills, as well.

The album will be swarmed by guest appearances. He's going to release two singles, one being the song "Real Hip-Hop" which will feature Ghostface and LL Cool J. The song is described as "a look at Hip Hop, from three different generations."

The other single is a remake Tupac's "Still Ballin'" and is entitled "Stay Ballin." This song will feature the Thug Lord himself, Yukmouth.

On top of that, Flip will be addressing T.I., as they've been trading jabs, since T.I.'s release from Jail. The album will feature Nelly and Jadakiss, too. So, it's obvious Flip is really looking to hit all demographics on this. From the Gangstas to the Hip Hop Heads to the TRL Crowd.

Also look for the first single to be premiered here around the end of the 1st quarter of 2005. The guest appearances for the album aren't confirmed yet, but look for some hot names... What I've heard has been very promising. We're also going to be conducting a video interview with the Neighbourhood Playa Patna himself, so lookout for that coming soon.

Suga Free was in the lab with his crew, including producer Freeze who had produced the unreleased song "Cool" which was buzzing all over, which didn't make Free's last album due to sample clearance. Also present were Kenny McCloud, Mike (Free's Cousin), Clue Dawg, J-Steez and more.

From what we heard, the song they layed down last night, produced by Freeze, and with Clue Dog on the hook, is sounding real promising, hopefully Free will deliver another banger with "Just Add Water"!

Check out some pictures below, and lookout for our video interview, which will clear up alot of rumours, including the situation with DJ Quik.

1105627801 - January 1, 1970 By : The only way for the West Coast to come back, is for every single one of ya'll to SUPPORT THE NEW ARTISTS. We just had a discussion regarding this topic on our message boards, and I felt like posting some of the quotes here, because it's the truth.

This is coming from the homie SGV who ya'll know for his exclusive updates rigt here every week.

"Support ALL New West Coast artists. Not just Game, not just Sly Boogy, ALL of them. From Logic to Mistah F.A.B. A-Wax to Complex.

You gotta support artists, Major to Independent. Fuck all these old ass rappers. When people drop news on an upcoming artist from the West, check it out. This is how the West will come back.

If you skip over these artists to only talk about Snoop Dogg's latest comments on his movie career or Dre saying something about Detox, the West will not blow up.

SUPPORT THE NEW ARTISTS!!!!!!!! That's all."

And another one:

"If we ain't supportin' ourselves, don't expect a Major to. Unless Game sells 50 numbers out the gate, DO NOT expect there to be a huge wave of West Coast cats being signed because we don't support.

Remember back in the day when EVERYONE got support? That's why people got signed during the wave of Major labels in the West. Interscope and Virgin took huge chances with Game and G.Black, I don't think they'll take anymore chances.

If you feel the need to still fiend for Dre's 38 year old ass to talk about being a G. If you feel the need to still fiend for Too Short's 43 year old ass to talk about Pimpin'. If you feel the need to still fiend for Snoop Dogg's tales of being a Super Gangsta at 34. If you feel the need to really hear any of these old ass rappers, over any new emcees, then DO NOT talk about the West's comeback. You're not apart of it and you're the reason for the West being so dismal and stagnant.

New West in 05!"


And as Baby G put it, "Ain't nobody gone support the West if we don't support ourself!"

Think about it ya'll!

Well as promised I'm back with some exclusive audio from the mixtape. Matter of fact I put together a 5 minute sampler of the mixtape, to give ya'll an idea of what most of the songs sound like.

The first song on the sampler is produced by Dr. Dre and is called "Synonomous II". Other producers include Rick Rock & Fredwreck. Check out the sampler in MP3 quality below, and be on the lookout for the mixtape to drop on mixtapemp3.com.

1105716129 - January 1, 1970 By : Dr Tipsy, aka Jason Santiago, is Founder of the West Coast DJ Academy. When asked, what is the purpose of doing the class and what would you like your students to get out of this class? Dr. Tipsy repsonds:

"To be able to rock a party or at least know how to mix 2 records together. I started this academy to give back to the DJ Culture who made me. I enjoy teaching others how to Mix records, make beats, blend tracks and read a crowd of party people by dropping the right tunes. We will be giving away free DJ lessons to readers who holla. Check the website www.hiphopundaground.com click on the West Coast Dj Academy flyer. We have 10 DJ teachers who are into all styles of music some spin at local clubs and bigger venues. I wanted to create a place where a person who wanted to DJ could get the knowledge first hand from A DJ ACADEMY. L.A. needed one. I have contacted the major and (not so major) record labels they will be kicking down WAX for the students to Practice on."

The course is described as "a six-week course, [where] each instructor will lecture briefly and provide demonstrations. The bulk of each class is spent with students gaining hands on experience with turntables. Courses include: Equipment set-up and break-down, Hand to record and to fader technique, Music theory, Mixing and blending, Beat making, Scratching, Beat juggling."

It's located in the Highland Park area of North East Los Angeles. If you're interested in the scheduling, call for class schedules at 877.267.4376. The tuition to enroll is S250. Check The Flyer.

He spins all kinds of music. He also does it accoding to the students tastes. He's been deejaying for 15 years. And as he puts it, he's a "Turntablist" who's into "Reggae, [and] blending 50 Cent with Willie Nelson, that type of off the wall 80's meets Hip-Hop meets 2004. But smooth, not like a jerky cut off, each records goes in tune together." The 33 year old, Harlem born, Bronx raised, Los Angeles resident, deejay credits Kool Herc, Rammellzee, Jazzy Jay, Diamond D and The DITC Crew as his influences.

The West Coast DJ Academy is also hosting the L.A. DMC DJ Battles coming up in April 2005. DubCNN is helping with putting the Battles together, so expect the Exclusive coverage from us! You can sign up (online soon!) and get your skills ready for battle at the ACADEMY.

Here, Koka told us how come he didn't release his "Ghetto Gospel" record, despite it being done, his spiritual situation (he turned to God after a prison sentence last year), his upcoming album "Take It Back To The Clap" and why he only used Fingazz on the production, aswell as the whole rap game, and his current relationship with Snoop Dogg. At the end of the interview he gave a very special shoutout to the website, so big thanks to Kokane from the entire staff for that.

According to early reports from national accounts, after one day on sale, the G-Unit/Aftermath/Interscope rapper’s The Documentary is on track to sell upwards of 600k in its first week. Sounds like he can buy Boardwalk and Park Place."

They told Funk Flex that they got on the Ja Rule song "New York" to get money and it was strictly business not knowing 50 would trip of them getting on a song with Ja.

1106335055 - January 1, 1970 By : Room Service is proud to present "Crunk n' B's" latest sensation, Brooke Valentine. Brooke's album, Chain Letter, will be released on March 15th on Virgin Records. "Girlfight" is the album's first single and features production by Lil' Jon and an appearance by Big Boi of Outkast. Ol' Dirty Bastard (R.I.P.) appears on the track, "Blah Blah Blah," also.

A native of Houston, Texas, Brooke Valentine ups the ante for creative expression with her Subliminal Entertainment/Virgin Records debut disc Chain Letter. A melodic pilgrimage through the perils and joys of a young female life, Chain Letter is refreshingly skimpy on gimmicks and ample on innovation. Valentine's diverse musical tastes create the album's universal pulse by serving a delectable stir-fry of R&B, pop, alternative and rock – offering something for all music lovers. Only 19 years of age, she explores the kaleidoscope of human emotions – the good, bad and sometimes downright ugly.

Unlike many new artists, Valentine co-wrote her entire album in just four months with her executive producer Deja, CEO of Subliminal Entertainment, an independent label and production company. Because of their around-the-clock work ethic, they were very selective when recruiting their dream team of producers. "It was important that this album was an accurate reflection of me,” she explains. “We worked with producers who didn't try to change that." Deja reached out to the industry's producing elite and before he knew it the collaborations developed with the speed of a real chain letter, with several producers and artists wanting to be involved with the project. Chain Letter’s production henchmen included Soul Diggas (Destiny's Child, Missy Elliott), Heatmakers (Diplomats, Lil' Flip), BloodShy (Britney Spears, Christina Milian), Bink (Jay-Z) and Tricky (Britney, TLC).

Here's the video for Girlfight, in Hi and Lo fi. Girlfight (hi) Girlfight (low)

1106761284 - January 1, 1970 By : The upcoming debut album slated for release from Fat Daddy Records, owned by film and television actress Yvette Wilson (“The Parkers,” “Moesha,” “Poetic Justice,” “Fridays,” “Def Comedy Jam,”) and her husband, Jerome Harry, will be the debut album for Oakland rapper, Habitt. Titled “Talk Of The Town”, the album will be in stores on February 22. Prior to its release, the disc has already been hailed as “the best album from the Left Coast this year” by the venerated radio industry trade magazine, “Urban Network.” The album features tracks produced by the Elements, who have also produced releases from the Black Eyed Peas, the Wu Tang Clan, Pete Rock (featuring CL Smooth), Will Smith and Mariah Carey. The Luniz and Knock-Turn’Al also contributed to it.

Born as Sean Johnson, Habitt has lived in Los Angeles for the last six years, although he was raised in the Bay Area. Habitt confirms, “I get all my game from Oakland, it never left me, no matter where I went,” he says. “I still have that Oakland vibe to me. I’ll always have Oakland in my blood. It’s not like I sound like an Oakland rapper, but that’s the place that inspired me.” At the age of ten, he found his first love, rapping.

When Habitt left Oakland, he was blessed with a dollar for his dynamic desire to go after his fate. He packed his lyrics and moved to Los Angeles. Although he struggled working for only minimum wage, he never lost sight of his gift and why he relocated, setting his eyes on the prize, in hopes of being able to rap for a living. His patience and never-ending drive placed him with a job as a production assistant on the “UPN” show, “The Parkers.” He began to share his rap ambitions with anyone who would listen. At last, Yvette Wilson, one of the show's stars, became fascinated by Habitt's energetic drive and persistence, along with his rapping skills. She made a decision to give him that same chance she once had at the beginning of own her successful career. She took him to a studio where he was to unexpectedly perform for some professionals in the industry. Habitt overtook his audience, which responded in sincere applause. There would soon come the opportunity of a lifetime to literally make or break it.

Habitt didn’t know it yet, but Yvette Wilson was contemplating forming a record label with her husband, Jerome Harry, who worked in the music business. The couple gave Habitt an assignment. He would have to go on NBC's Showtime At The Apollo, and survive. If Habitt was to make surviving success with an often hard to please New York audience, they assured him he would be signed. His trip to the East Coast’s beastly stage of the Apollo was another phenomenal success. As a result, Habitt is now slated to be the first artist that will be released by Fat Daddy Records, the company formed by Wilson and Harry.

Although it may sound like a fairy tale ending, life was often quite difficult for Habitt. Tragedy came early, when he was only five years old, and his father died. Habitt, who often had a hard time dealing with the loss, eventually developed a few bad habits, due to the uncertain of the direction of his life. Habitt concedes, “I finally moved to L.A. because I was doing some things I shouldn’t have, and I had an opportunity to leave. I got shot at the age of 17, being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was in the hospital and
almost died. I am so blessed to be here, as I almost didn’t make it. That really woke me up.”

Habitt learned a lot about having game from his uncles, especially Mark Curry, who like Yvette Wilson, is also a comic. Curry is briefly heard on the album, and Habitt explains, “It really means a lot to me.” Habitt often used humor as a way to pull through the hard times, and says that Curry has long been one of his inspirations. Family members always supported his talents, especially his mother. “She raised me well, and had a lot on her hands, being a single mother.”

Habitt expresses much of his personal life in his music, particularly in the track, “Street Life.” Habitt confesses, “That song gives me chills because I dug deep into things that have happened in my life. A lot of my close friends have passed away, and I felt if I stayed in Oakland, the same thing could happen to me.”

Habitt believes that part of being the best person he can be includes having as much game as possible, hence the song, “Strictly Game.” He explains his philosophy by saying, “It all came from Oakland where I got my game. It’s entirely about your game, and it will come if you’re doing a good job at whatever it is you’re doing. But without game, you can’t have anything in life.”

The song “Lesson” is about regret, and it reveals the secret to having a successful relationship with a female. “There’s no I in we,” the song observes, as it spills its guts. Habitt says, “A lot of guys won’t come forward and admit they were wrong in a relationship. But as far as my album goes, this is real life; this is not a gimmick. Therefore, this song is very real and personal. It’s like my confessions. I wanted to do something for the ladies so they know that guys have feelings, too. The guys who listen to it, they’ll know it’s real. I put all my issues I’ve had with girls in there. I’ve broken a lot of hearts, and had my heart broken, too.”

Ultimately, there is a lot more to be heard on Habitt’s album, and people will definitely relate to what is being said as they bob their heads. No doubt, listening to this CD is destined to become a Habitt.

1106800822 - January 1, 1970 By : I'm sure by now you've all heard about the "Tsunami Song" played by Hot 97 in New York's Morning Show Crew. If not, here's a brief synopsis of the situation. Prior to introducing the "Tsunami Song," host, Miss Jones and Todd Lynn attack Miss Info, who happens to be Asian, as she objects to the song. Miss Jones say she's complaining because "you feel superior, probably because you're Asian." Miss Info makes it clear that the song is offensive to Asians, which Lynn followed with, "I'm gonna start shooting Asians." They play the song, which poked fun at the Tsunami victims and Asians. Some lyrics included:

"And all at once, you can hear the screaming chinks
And no one was saved from the wave
There were Africans drowning, little Chinamen swept away
You can hear God laughing, 'Swim you bitches swim.'"

The morning show has been suspended indefinitely because of an immense backlash from angry listeners. Asian Rapper, Jin is not sitting quiet. He hopped in the lab and recorded a song aimed at Hot 97's Morning crew.

Listen to Jin's Response

And for those who so desire, here's a link to listen to the The Tsunami Song.

1106845619 - January 1, 1970 By : DIKTATOR was born Marcus Paysour on January 8, 1986 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He is the only child of a single parent household. DIKTATOR graduated from West Charlotte High School on June 10, 2004.

DIKTATOR's love for music began at the early age of six (6), by emulating known top rap artist at the time---Snoop Dog, JayZ, Puff Daddy, Dr. Dre and others. He joined with other neighborhood kids participating in school talent shows, and even church programs. By the time DIKTATOR was twelve years old, he was writing his own lyrics, and was teaching others to do the same. DIKTATOR has the uncanny ability to capture clear, simple, pungent, and heartfelt truisms about life--- friendship, love, and even death, in his writings.

In 2000, DIKTATOR and three friends formed the rap group, NuWorld. In April of 2002, NuWorld was the opening act for Lil' Romeo and the No Limit All Stars Tour at the Old Charlotte Coliseum. NuWorld also performed for the Lil' Romeo and the No Limit Allstars Tour in Columbia, South Carolina, the following weekend. DIKTATOR left NuWorld in December 2002 and began concentrating on his lyric writing, and becoming a solo artist. He records, engineers, produces and performs his own material. DIKTATOR is the latest phenomenon to emerge from the south. His style would be described as a mixture of dirty south and east coast.

He is no neophyte to the mic. In 2003, DIKTATOR's popularity really began to intensify. In June 2003, he received several airplays at the former Hot 92.7---Charlotte's FM Hip-Hop/RB radio station. He also performed regularly during the summer of 2003 at the H20 Club in Charlotte, at its Open Mic Nights. On August 20, 2003, DIKTATOR was the opening artist at the H20 Club for renowned rap artist TI. In April of 2004, DIKTATOR was featured on the World Wide Flava TV show along with other artists as Memphis Bleek and Anthony Hamilton. The TV Show was aired on UPN and a cable access channel in Charlotte, NC and in Atlanta, GA. On June 1st, 2004, DIKTATOR was featured on Charlotte's WPEG Power 98 radio show called 'The Next Big Thing". Charlotte's newest talk show called the S.E.L.F show will feature DIKTATOR airing on UPN in January 2005.

DIKTATOR's greatest musical inspiration and idols have been DMX and Nas. His future goals have always been to perfect his art while pursuing a major recording deal. Through constant writing and recording, he has completed his first album "Shut It Down."

Stream two tracks from DIKTATOR's album, below. Look for an interview with DIKTATOR soon!

The man, armed with a handgun, stopped, turned and aimed at pursuing officers before he was shot, Rohnert Park police Sgt. Art Sweeney said.

He said the man, whose name wasn't immediately available, was taken to an area hospital in critical condition. Sonoma County Sheriff's Lt. Craig Wiseman said the man subsequently died.

Police didn't identify the officer involved. Sweeney said he didn't know how many shots were fired.".

1107294772 - January 1, 1970 By : Wolfpac Records is proud to announce the newest addition to our undisputed impenetrable force, our "hip-hop R. Kelly", of sorts. Imagine, talent so fierce that lyrical content, song formatting, editing, and engineering are simultaneously mastered, in addition, to undeniable production. You see when you've been rapping since you were ten, sooner or later, those production keys begin to look pretty interesting. By age 15, BUCCWEET a. k. a. Tha Animal had credits that included accomplished producer and DJ to add to his resume.
Pulled from his San Fernando Valley and pushed to the forefront of the industry, BUCCWEET is solely responsible for the fire production on his album, in its entirety. (He produced EVERY SINGLE TRACK!!!) That alone, puts this newcomer in an extremely prestigious class. Tha Animal credits his production to have been most influenced by Dr. Dre. "Dre's the #1 of all time for bangin production. Timberland for his drum and song programming, and (DJ) Premier is one of a kind when it comes to sampling techniques." Being born and raised in "the 818", as BUCCWEET passionately refers to his stomping grounds as, has resulted in representin the city in almost every song. Those of you who know what's crackin know the flavor the city brings…. "that Valley Life", notes BUCCWEET. From that good kush only found roun here to every size, shape, and formed woman imaginable to gettin that REAL money: "We got land. This ain't no nickel and dime shit," he elaborates. "You put all that shit in one pot, you got some fly niggas. We do it WAY BIG out here." When asked to briefly tell people what they can xpect from his debut album, "Life and music," BUCCWEET is quick to respond with. "You can expect the truth. My lyrics, my beats, my hooks, all of the above, is THE TRUTH!" Game recognize game. DO YOU?!? Tha Pac anticipates album release early September. Until then, you can find exclusive drops, photos, and interviews, as well as, news updates on BUCCWEET a. k. a. Tha Animal, here at www.Wolfpacrecords.com.

Here are some audio previews:

1107420883 - January 1, 1970 By : MTV.com reported that R&B singer Houston who had the smash hit "I Like That" this summer, gouged his eye out after an apparent suicide attempt. Here is the original article:

"R&B singer Houston gouged out his eye after an apparent suicide attempt at a London hotel, sources close to the singer said.

The Los Angeles native, who scored a hit last year with the Chingy and Nate Dogg-featured "I Like That" (see "Houston Scores Club Hit With Help From Chingy, Nate Dogg"), was overseas for a series of performances when the incident occurred. According to sources close to the artist, he first attempted to jump out of a hotel window but was stopped by his security personnel. He was then locked in his hotel room, where he injured himself.

There are currently no further details on the incident. Representatives for Houston's label, Capitol Records, could not be reached for comment. "

1107423503 - January 1, 1970 By : Bushwick Bill of the multi-platinum Houston-based rap group, The Geto Boys, knows what it’s like to feel suicidal, and as a result, to lose an eye. Upon hearing that Capitol Records hiphop artist Houston gouged his eye out during a suicide bid on Thursday, Bushwick felt compelled to speak out. After all, while hoping for death, himself, one fateful evening in 1991, Bushwick Bill forced his girlfriend to assist his suicide attempt, and she shot him in the eye, but miraculously, he survived. That night, June 19, 1991, would become immortalized on the cover of the group’s platinum-selling album, “We Can’t Be Stopped,” which pictures a graphic photo of Geto Boys members Scarface and Willie D pushing a bandaged, incoherent Bushwick Bill on a hospital gurney. “I wouldn’t wish that on anyone else, to force the hand of death,” he contends.
“Fame will make you crazy,” states Bushwick. “Fame isn’t for everybody. There are people who have a fear of fame, those who want fame, and those who don’t understand fame. It drives them crazy, because it is a lot of responsibility to be all things to all people, and you can lose yourself in the shuffle, where there are no longer fifty-two cards in the deck.” He notes that contributing to the stress of fame is that things are often not as they appear. He explains, “There is the added insanity of having a big selling record and fame, yet somehow, you don’t have any money to match what you have accomplished. You are going through that misery with your label, and it makes utterly no sense.”
Bill adds, “The advice I would give to Houston or to any other artists who are either up and coming, or who are already established, and are going through mental storms right now, is this. You need to be rooted and grounded with the same love you have your family and God to yourself. Since God wanted you to be an entertainer, you need to look to God more and less to yourself, because we as artists are confused as human beings, and then lack of knowledge pulls us into different directions. You are put in the position where you have to smile when you are sad and be gracious when you are depressed, and not everybody knows how to play the roles that fame requires. Some people wear their life on their sleeves, and they wear their emotional life on their face, which broadcasts their situation like a news station. When some people can’t handle that, can’t cope, they start to fall apart.”
Bushwick Bill has clearly given such matters deep thought. On his solo album, “Little Big Man,” he raps on the track, “Ever So Clear,” the highly self-analytical lyric, “I had to lose an eye to see clearly.” Media outlets, including the “New York Post,” reported that MTV banned the end of that track’s music video, in which the expressive rapper took out his glass eye and dropped it into a glass of Everclear.
Bushwick elaborates, “I want Houston to know that he is in my prayers, and that I will ask God to give him peace of mind and peace of heart, and I hope his eye heals as well as his mind and his emotions.”
A new Geto Boys album, “The Foundation,” was recently released, and Bushwick is also in the spotlight, as he has also signed a joint venture deal with Adex Records, which will release a solo project, “Gutta Mixx” through Lightyear/Warner Brother Records on March 29.

In contrary to what we were hearing in the last weeks, Tray Deee will not be getting out of prison anytime soon by the looks of it. I heard from a credible source that he was sentenced to 12 years in jail earlier this morning, and indeed, this was confirmed by The Sacramento Bee Newspaper.



Here is the press article:

"LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Rapper Tray Deee, who formed the group Tha Eastsidaz with rappers Snoop Dogg and Goldie Loc, was sentenced to 12 years in prison Wednesday in connection with a 2003 shooting.
The rapper, whose real name is Tracy Lamar Davis, was sentenced in Superior Court after pleading no contest to shooting at an occupied vehicle, prosecutor Cynthia Barnes said.

Under a plea agreement, prosecutors dropped two charges f assault with a semiautomatic firearm and one count of possession of a firearm.

Davis allegedly shot at two people in a car but nobody was injured."

The DubCNN staff would like to send out their support to Tray Deee and his family & friends. We will keep you updated on any happenings concerning this situation.

Keep your head up Tray...

1107730659 - January 1, 1970 By : Rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was booked on suspicion of violating his parole after police found marijuana in his truck during a traffic stop, authorities said Sunday.

Knight was arrested about Saturday evening in Barstow and held by sheriff's officials pending his transfer next week to state prison, said sheriff's Cpl. Lorraine Riser.

State officials would then review his case to determine if he should be held or released, Riser said.

Police said they searched Knight's Ford pickup and found marijuana after pulling him over for making an unsafe U-turn. He was cited for not having insurance.

A woman in the vehicle, identified as Alexis Wilkenson, 18, of Las Vegas, allegedly had a fake ID and was arrested for investigation of providing false information to police. She was later released.

Knight, 39, co-founder of the pioneering rap label Death Row Records, was released from prison in 2001 after serving time for assault and weapons violations. He recently served an additional 10-month prison sentence for violating his parole and striking a Hollywood nightclub valet.

A call to Jonathan Wolfson, a publicist who has represented Knight, was not immediately returned Sunday morning.

Barstow is in San Bernardino County about 100 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles.

"To be able to rock a party or at least know how to mix 2 records together. I started this academy to give back to the DJ Culture who made me. I enjoy teaching others how to Mix records, make beats, blend tracks and read a crowd of party people by dropping the right tunes. We will be giving away free DJ lessons to readers who holla. Check the website www.hiphopundaground.com click on the West Coast We have 10 DJ teachers who are into all styles of music some spin at local clubs and bigger venues. I wanted to create a place where a person who wanted to DJ could get the knowledge first hand from A DJ ACADEMY. L.A. needed one. I have contacted the major and (not so major) record labels they will be kicking down WAX for the students to Practice on."

The course is described as "a six-week course, [where] each instructor will lecture briefly and provide demonstrations. The bulk of each class is spent with students gaining hands on experience with turntables. Courses include: Equipment set-up and break-down, Hand to record and to fader technique, Music theory, Mixing and blending, Beat making, Scratching, Beat juggling."

It's located in the Highland Park area of North East Los Angeles. If you're interested in the scheduling, call for class schedules at 877.267.4376. The tuition to enroll is S250.

He spins all kinds of music. He also does it accoding to the students tastes. He's been deejaying for 15 years. And as he puts it, he's a "Turntablist" who's into "Reggae, [and] blending 50 Cent with Willie Nelson, that type of off the wall 80's meets Hip-Hop meets 2004. But smooth, not like a jerky cut off, each records goes in tune together." The 33 year old, Harlem born, Bronx raised, Los Angeles resident, deejay credits Kool Herc, Rammellzee, Jazzy Jay, Diamond D and The DITC Crew as his influences.

The West Coast DJ Academy is also hosting the L.A. DMC DJ Battles coming up in April 2005. DubCNN is helping with putting the Battles together, so expect the Exclusive coverage from us! You can sign up (online soon!) and get your skills ready for battle at the ACADEMY.

They did "Liberta," "Proposition Fuck You," "Liberta," "C.H.I.L.D.," and many other of their dope tracks. The crowd was really hyped and even had a nice little Mosh Pit going!

B-Real was the next act up. This had to be one of the illest performances I've ever seen. He did brought Mellow Man Ace & O Brown for "Never Back Down," as well as Sick Jacken and Mellow for "Hold You Down." Jack stayed on stage with B-Real and brought out Street Platoon do run through some Psycho Realm tracks such as "Psycho City Blocks."

B did "Back To The Apple," "Warriors," "Yo Quiero Fumar" and much more! Filthee and Son Doobie came out to do "No Model." Fredwreck did a little set on the Talk Box. But, to end the show, B brought out Sen Dog and ran through a bunch of Cypress Hill tracks, such as, "How I Could Just Kill A Man," "Hand On The Pump" and others. The show ended with THE ENTIRE CREW coming on stage as Sen & B did "Latin Thugs." B and Bobo hopped on the Congas and did their thing, as well.

If some of the tracks that I listed above do not look familiar for you, that's because they're off B-Real's new Mixtape, and you must be sleeping!

1107831661 - January 1, 1970 By : The second issue of Hood Grown Magazine goes to the presses today. This issue contains the following interviews and features: A Tribute to Ol' Dirty Bastard, Hip Hop Beef-The Next Level?, How To Start A Record Company For Under $1000, The Game, Ciara, Cormega, Miri Ben-Ari, Lord Have Mercy, Noah, Angelous, Maverick Video, Record Reviews, Hood Grown Girl of the Month, and Upcoming Artist & Producers. It's also includes a free Amplifire sampler cd inside every issue all for only 50 cents!!!!!!

Hood Grown's purpose is to cover urban music in a street oriented, yet intelligent manner with content driven by artist, music, and African A0merican culture as it pertains to the art form. The magazine is 36 pages, features full colors covers on 80lb glossy paper, with black & white insides on 70lb glossy paper, and is published bi-monthly.

One of the unique aspects of Hood Grown magazine is that it fosters the discovery of new music and artists whether they're on a major or independent music label. We're one of the few magazines where you'll see major artists featured along side independent artists with no seperation based on the celebratory status of their record label. Our specialty is featuring unknown upcoming labels, artists, &roducers exposing them to an audience that might have little knowledge of them.

To this end we have decided to provide Hood Grown magazine at a minimal cost to the consumer in order to gain readership for those with limited budgets who would be more likely to pick up XXL or the Source magazines. Hood Grown magazine's cover price is 50 cents and in some stores it is given away for free. In order to do this, Hood Grown is totally advertiser supported. We understand the limited budgets of most independent labels and have priced our advertising rates so that even the most cash strapped label can afford to advertise their product.

Hood Grown magazine is distributed to "mom & pop" and specialty stores throughout the country through Clout Distribution, Domination Distribution, and in the Newbury Comics chain of stores. Currently in talks with Barnes & Nobles and Borders.

For more information go to: HoodGrown.com

Hood Grown Magazine (wwww.hoodgrown.com), the new Hip Hop magazine with it's focus on featuring major and indie artists without bias, will soon be launching it's new endeavor, Hood Grown Records (www.hoodgrownrecords.com). With the launch of Hood Grown
Records, the focus of this new upstart is to bring back the spirit of Rawkus Records in it's hey day.

"With the success of artists such as Kayne West, we feel the climate is right to release hip hop artists who want to release hard hitting, intelligent music, and don't feel the need to conform to the commercial formats dominating popular radio and video shows." said Christopher English, CEO of Hood Grown Records. "We can use our magazine to get our music in the public eye and use our distribution channels to get it in stores."

The first release on the new Hood Grown Records imprint will be the BombSounding Compilation which will be followed by an EP release from upcoming artist, Frozen Heat.

This album is basically their most solid album to date with guest appearances from Kokane, Dave Hollister, Butch Cassidy, Mitchy Slick and more.
As for the production... if you were expecting the same funky westcoast beats that we are used to hearing on Relativez albums you won't be disappointed.

Here's 2 tracks from the album called "Money Respect Money":
The Relativez "Run These Streetz" featuring Dave Hollister
The Relativez "Pimpin" featuring Too Short

1107905939 - January 1, 1970 By : Drama Started rapping at the age of 13, writing poems in class instead of daily bases academics. Freestyle sessions were common with him and his friends at school, He quickly got a name for rapping with his school peers. People started recognizing him as a rapper, But never did he take serous to his music, time passed and he got better, but he only started to take his music career seriously when his fame was becoming more and more locally. He took his music and put it on the internet, started collabing with diffrent artist such as "Doshuz", Passing out copies to people and becoming more and more attached to the music industry.

I have a song by Drama right here for ya'll to peep out, don't sleep cause the boy got heat:

I'm not even gonna say anything else, check out the freestyle from the Funk Flex show yourself below. It will be interesting to see whether Game will follow his decision "to never take shots a legends" as he put it, or retaliate.

1107999076 - January 1, 1970 By : You'd think an aspiring rapper was crazy if he turned down deals with Hip-hop heavyweights Def Jam and Sony, but Kiotti rejected contracts from these labels and others before settling down with Unauthorized Entertainment distributed by Asylum/WEA. Kiotti, now twenty-two, first gained credibility in 2001 upon winning The Source's "Unsigned Hype" award. In 2002, he became a threat to household names when outshining Lil' Flip in a freestyle contest on Houston's KBBX.

The ambitious rapper has released several underground albums and mixed CDs, which attributed to his street credibility and fan base. Not only do the streets relate to the lyrics; his songs have become Houston anthems.

It's inevitable that once the streets love you, the majors jump on the bandwagon. Once the hit "Hooker Hooker" dropped, he was bombarded with proposals from the likes of Sony, J Records, and Def Jam. Kiotti was hot and could afford to be choosey, so he decided to pass and patiently awaited the right deal.

That deal came in 2005 when he signed with Unauthorized Entertainment run by former Def Jam and Sony A&R Executive Selim Bouab. Kiotti explains his decision to sign with UE: "I feel confident and comfortable with Unauthorized Entertainment taking my street audience to another level. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone stepped up to the plate and offered me what I'm worth."

Kiotti has already begun giving back to his community by launching a program called Young Fam Against Drugs. Through this program, Kiotti has become a speaker at Houston schools educating our youth on the negative affects of drug use.

Be on the lookout for Kiotti's full-length CD, which will hit stores this summer. Also, check out his website for upcoming shows and events. www.kiotti.com

1108098853 - January 1, 1970 By : On his first tour through Europe, The Game sparked alot of controvery. Myself and Yash went to the Snoop Dogg & Game show tonight in Amsterdam at the Heineken Music Hall, and it was definitely worth it. Having trouble with the security guards, we weren't able to take any pictures or film the show, but I'm gonna give ya'll a detailed review of what went down.

We got there a little late, missing the beginning of Game's performance. As we entered the arena, Game was on stage with his shirt off, the pants sagging extra hard, and his Aftermath chain shining around his neck. He had a very good stage presence, and a very solid performance overall. After doing Dreams and Church For Thugs, where he already took shots at the likes of Yukmouth, Memphis Bleek, Joe Budden and Murder Inc, he told DJ Quik on the 1's and 2's to stop the music and announced something that could be the start of a huge battle in HipHop.
As ya'll saw on here the other day, Jay-Z recorded a little song going at Game on Funk Flex radio show (Hot97). "I got an email from the USA, saying that JayZ been on the radio dissing Game...", Game spoke. "Now I told ya'll I don't take shots at legends, but how many of ya'll think Game should record a diss song for Jay-Z"?, he asked the cheering crowd.

That's when the beat to "How We Do" started, and Game started a little chant that he then repeated about 10 times.

"Ja Rule Can SUCK MY DICK, Ashanti can SUCK MY DICK, Irv Gotti can SUCK MY DICK, Murder Inc can SUCK MY DICK, Joe Budden can SUCK MY DICK, Memphis Bleek can SUCK MY DICK, Beanie Sigel can SUCK MY DICK, Jay-Z can SUCK MY DICK, Rocafella can SUCK MY DICK, if you a hater nigga SUCK MY DICK".

At that point Game was totally pumped up, and went into "How We Do", followed by "Hate It Or Love It". After a little interlude by DJ Quik where they played the beat to "Pitch In On A Party", Game came back to Jay-Z again, visibly even more heated. He ended his set by doing the "Suck My Dick" chant a couple more times, and left the crowd hyped, but shocked at the same time.

Did Game bite off more than he can chew with this one? Will G-Unit ride with him through this beef? This will be interesting to see in the coming weeks.

Let's get back to the show, after about 15min of break, DJ Jam took the stage and announced Snoop Dogg, Soopafly and Uncle June Bugg. Daz, however, couldn't make it due to problems with his passport. Snoop walked on stage dressed in blue and white, to the intro of Paid The Cost, "Da Bo$$ Would Like To See U". As always, he went through all his old hits, performing every single song off Doggystyle except for "For My Niggaz & My Bitches, Serial Killa and G-Funk Intro". They rapped Kurupt's verse on "Ain't No Fun", throwing in a little Fuck Kurupt! at the end. "Deep Cover, P.I.M.P remix, Bitch Please, Drop It Like It's Hot, Let's Get Blown, Down 4 My Niggaz" were also part of the set. After blazing a huge joint during his chronic break and doing his obligatory "Smoke Weed, Get High, and FucK" chant, bringing his Uncle Reo" on stage to help him out, he let his band The Snoopadelics go into a little reggae instrumental, making the crowd singing along with him. He finished it off with "Who Am I", Snoop and his crew exited the stage.

Overall it was a great show, I missed the other opening act Flipsyde, and the songs "Higher, Westside Story and Put You Up On Game" off of Game's set.

We will be uploading pictures that our forum member Mauzip took, anybody else with pictures, feel free to email me them.

Dubcnn will also be present at one of the Germany shows, this time bringing ya'll some exclusive footage and interviews, so look forward to that!

1108240790 - January 1, 1970 By : It's official, Flipmode and Aftermath. We got a new Busta song off his upcoming Aftermath LP "The Big Bang". Funk Flex recently leaked the song on his radio show and Busta wasn't too happy about it leaking early but later said,

"It's a good problem to have in one sense, because if a song is that dope that you have to take it and just run with it like "F**k it,' I can't be mad at that.".

This is causing Busta to start promoting his album earlier than scheduled. Scott Storch laced Busta with a banging beat, and Busta rides it perfectly. Check the song below:

1108335755 - January 1, 1970 By : Sup everyone. Let me introduce you to producer extraordinaire EMBRYO. Born in Brasov, Romania, he came to the states and landed in Southern California when he was only 2 1/2yrs old. He started DJing 7 Years ago under the name DJ Embryo. Shortly after that he decided he wanted to produce his own rap demo since he was rapping a little. He had a friend who had some equipment (old vintage analog equipment like Original Roland TR-808, TR-909, etc). He produced Electronic music. So with his help he produced his first 2 Hip Hop beats.He started working on more tracks though and in the first month...somehow his beat CD got around and he started getting alot of attention from local and even out of state artists. Since that moment, he knew what he was made to do. He dropped the DJ and became Embryo ("An Organism in the first stages of Development").


5 Years later....He's creating a buzz around the music industry...working with artists from around the United States like "Sincere" (Blackground/Universal Recording Artist out of New York), R. Prophet (of The Nappy Roots on his solo debut out of Kentucky), Ras Kass, 40 Glocc, Scipio, Diamonique and a many more. His style is unique and diverse... while most producers are sample based (which I respect), I on the other hand am completely opposite. Embryo is the name, Embryo Productions is the company, "The Future Sound of Music" is the slogan. EMBRYO is working on some major projects right now. One of my main focuses is his artist TEXACAL. Born in Texas, Raised in Cali. He just finished their debut Street Banger "WHO U!?" "Both the south and the west are not prepared for what we are about to drop", states EMBRYO. The streets are going to embrace this for sure.

Thanks to the homie Lazee for hooking up "Dirty West Vol.2", another banging mixtape from top to bottom featuring Dre'sta, Young Hoggs & Six Mill. They picked some banging beats again, from "X, On Fire, Breathe, Locked Up, Westside Story, How We Do, Don't Say Nuthin', Eazier Said Than Dun to Best Of Both Worlds, Soldier, I Smell Pussy, Ether, Jesus Walks & Family Afair.

Thanks to Dre'sta for allowing us to put the mixtape up for all of you to download, burn, and spread. Enough talking, download "Dirty West Vol.2" below, and hit up dresta.com for the latest news, and drop feedback about the mixtape at the official forums.

I attended the NAMM audio trade show in Anaheim back in January and had the chance to check out new musical and audio equipment from lots of different companies. Of course attending the largest audio trade show in the world means seeing lots of musicians and performers as well. Caught up with lots of different West Coast artists like DJ Revolution, King Tech, Da Riffs, B-Real, and Fredwreck among others. Here are some pics from the show

You can download it in QuickTime format below, play it with either Windows Media Player or QuickTime Player. The video is funny, although it's low budget, staying true to the independent release of the CD. Look for his big budget video to his So So Def single in a few months.

1108649687 - January 1, 1970 By : JT THE BIGGA FIGGA & GET LOW RECORDS SET TO RELEASE THE GAME 'WEST COAST RESURRECTION' (By: Betsy Bolte)

(Los Angeles, CA.) JT The Bigga Figga's Get Low Records announces the
upcoming release of The Game's 'West Coast Resurrection' on March 29, 2005. The album features previously unreleased material recorded in the bay area with JT The Bigga Figga.

JT the artist-CEO traveled from his Bay Area base to attend a hip-hop
conference featuring Russell Simmons and Minister Louis Farrakhan and was inspired by some of the personal and professional lessons he learned at the event. But JT was most impressed by an up-and-coming rapper he met there. The rapper's name: The Game.

"He caught my attention," JT recalls of the superstar rapper now signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. "His style was not like a normal West Coast style. It was more like an East Coast style with a West Coast look and West Coast lyrics. He sounded like a bunch of famous people. I knew if the right amount of money was behind him that he would definitely become a star. I told him I could bring him to the Bay and go ahead and knock out an album -- really as much material as possible. I told him, 'All I want claim to is the songs that me and you do. Whatever you do on your own after that, it's on you. Get your money, cousin.'"

As they say, game recognize game, so The Game agreed to JT's terms and
recorded approximately 30 songs with JT. Some of those songs are featured on The Game's 'West Coast Resurrection'.

Fans of The Game's major label debut, 2005's platinum-plus 'The
Documentary', will be able to trace the Compton rapper's evolution with 'West Coast Resurrection'. "You can hear early stages of The Game," JT explains. "You can hear a little bit of his development all the way through the album. You can hear the youngness in his voice, but you can still hear the hunger and still see the style."

The first song The Game and JT recorded together was "The Streetz of
Compton," a stellar remake of DJ Quik's classic "Born and Raised in
Compton." Another one of their early recordings was "Blacksox," a thumping song that also features JT and Bluechip.

"When you listen to that particular track, that's him finding his identity and it stands out because it's the rookie card," JT says of "Blacksox." "It represents The Game's essence coming into this rap game. That is the resurrection of the West Coast, because he's the shining star of the West and everybody's taking their hat off to him for the West."

Now, with The Game's 'West Coast Resurrection' ready to hit the streets, JT The Bigga Figga has positioned himself as an artist and executive with a keen ear for emerging talent.

"I want to be known as the guy that you can come to when you want to get your jumpstart," JT says. "If you're dope, let's throw it out there and see what we can do."

The Game did it. Who's next?

'West Coast Resurrection' Tracklisting:

1. Intro / feat JT
2. The Streetz of Compton / feat JT
3. Blacksox / feat JT & Bluechip
4. Krush Groove / JT & Get Low East
5. Troublesome

1109103472 - January 1, 1970 By : Yes sir, you read correct! We done did it again! Last saturday, myself, Yash & the big homie Lil Jay had the chance to hook up with Bigg Snoop Dogg after his show in Cologne, Germany, with The Game opening up for him. We have all of this on video, yes sir, a Snoop Dogg video interview!

Time was limited, but I believe the most important questions that have been very requested by the fans were answered. Yash had his "Free Tray Deee" shirt on, so you know Snoop had to speak on the Tray Deee/Eastsidaz situation. He also talked about the 213 and why it wasn't promoted well, his relationship with Dr. Dre and how he's still pushing for that Break Up To Make Up album. He also answered my question about working with producers like Battlecat, Meech Wells & Fredwreck again, and hooking back up with his old people such as Bad Azz and others. His answer to Jay's question, wether he will be going back to his Gangsta style, G-Funk, will probably anger alot of you... But hey, that's how he feels!

Highlights are him announcing that The Lady Of Rage is back in the studio, and his statement on Kurupt is very interesting too. We were pleased to see that Snoop is up on his internet game, and knew all about DubCNN already.

This is not all that's coming though, in a few days we will have some exclusive video footage from the show up for those who weren't there, and we also conducted a video interview with Soopafly, who answered alot of questions.

And in addition to all that, we also have an exclusive video interview with Snoop's 213 buddy Warren G coming. Matter of fact, we have TWO Warren G video interviews completed, yes sir!

'Nuff talk, check out the video footage of Snoop Dogg now by clicking below:

1109215756 - January 1, 1970 By : "The story of the legend who inspired the biggest name in rap."

On March 8, 2005, Vision Plant Pictures, in association with Czar Entertainment, will release The Infamous Times - Volume I: The Original 50 Cent on DVD to eager home entertainment audiences everywhere. A powerful music-driven video magazine chronicling the nation’s most reputed street figures, notorious neighborhoods and the alluring frills of the fast life, this explicit exposé goes behind the stereotypes typically associated with legendary hustlers to uncover the true tales of pain and betrayal that all too often destroys their lives and, most times, finds them dead or in jail. Volume one of The Infamous Times has already shipped platinum to major retail outlets throughout the U.S. and is on pace to quickly become one of the best selling urban DVD’s to date.

Running 120 minutes, the main feature of this landmark series tells the true story of Kelvin “50 Cent” Martin, a cold-blooded crook who, armed with an arsenal of weapons, robbed, killed and extorted many of Brooklyn’s biggest hustlers at the height of New York’s brutal crack cocaine epidemic and from whom the multi-platinum rap superstar, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, borrowed his moniker. This is the true story of the legend who inspired the biggest name in rap.

Hosted by venerated columnist, actor and convicted felon, Bonz Malone, the subject matter echoes the insight, candid perspective and journalistic intensity of esteemed investigative programs like Dateline NBC and 20/20. Likewise, The Infamous Times is poised to be one of the preeminent urban DVD series of the decade, revolutionizing the genre with its blend of in depth coverage accompanied by a hard-driving soundtrack. Superbly helmed by pioneering video director, Froi Cuesta and the brainchild of acclaimed music impresario, Jimmy Henchmen, along with entertainment industry veterans, Tone Boots and Griff, the series aims to enlighten “at-risk” youth on the hazards of street life as it contrasts the glamorization of criminal behavior that is all too common in rap music and mainstream film and television nowadays.

“We’re taking them all to task…politicians, parents, the young generation,” says series co-creator Tone Boots, who is also the Producer of MTV’s Direct Effect. “This story is very dear and close to me because I knew the original Fifty-Cent,” adds Jimmy Henchmen, the project’s Executive Producer and manager of platinum recording artists such as The Game (Aftermath/G-Unit), Mario Winans (Bad Boy) and Black Rob (Bad Boy). “I’m honored to tell a story like this that influenced the biggest name in rap as we know it today.”

In addition to the true story of the original 50 Cent featured in The “G” Chronicle segment of the DVD, the Danger Zone profiles the Brownsville section of Brooklyn and uncovers the influx of the LA-based ‘Bloods’ street gang that has besieged the neighborhood’s housing projects. In the Paper Dolls segment of The Infamous Times their cameras go behind-the-scenes of one of the most popular gentlemen’s clubs in the country, Sue’s Rendezvous – made famous in the lyrics of many rap artists over the past few years. Also, the DVD’s bonus content includes an exclusive interview with Jimmy Henchmen; a profile on celebrity jewelers from Manhattan’s famed ‘Diamond District;’ and a photo gallery featuring the work of award winning photographer Jamel Shabazz – author of the celebrated photo essay, Back in the Days.

1109218118 - January 1, 1970 By : Grammy award winning artist Common is often referred to as one of the most thoughtful and gifted lyricists in hip-hop.

His impressive music career began twelve years ago with the release of his debut album, Can I Borrow a Dollar? That effort was praised for its down-to-earth vibe and intelligent rhymes, but the unapologetic middle-class sensibilities conveyed on Common's second album, 1994's Resurrection, which yielded the hip-hop classic "I Used to Love H.E.R.," earned him the respect enjoyed by kindred spirits such as A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul.

Following the release of his deeply introspective third album, 1997's One Day It'll All Make Sense, which addressed serious issues like family planning, Common relocated to New York to heighten his visibility and become more involved in the music industry. Common unleashed 2000's noticeably more musical Like Water for Chocolate. The album was a versatile mix of gravity, sardonic humor and soulful hip-hop beats that spawned the Grammy-nominated single, "The Light." Like Water for Chocolate also signaled Common's emergence as a member of the Soulquarians-a collective of musicians that includes Roots drummer Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, beat-maker Jay Dee and keyboardist James Poyser, among others-which reconvened to produce the bulk of 2002's Electric Circus. Circus, Common's fifth album was anchored by an uncommon and refreshing air of open-mindedness, both musically and lyrically. The album included the hit single "Come Close" featuring Mary J. Blige.

Common has been keeping busy since the release of Electric Circus. In 2003, he received a Grammy Award for "Love of My Life," a duet with Erykah Badu from the Brown Sugar soundtrack. His appearance on "Why (Remix)" with Jadakiss, Anthony Hamilton, Styles P., & Nas, garnered him a 2004 Vibe Award for Coolest Collabo. Common left fans hungry for more after he performed "Food" with Kanye West on the Chappelle Show earlier this year. The wait is almost over. Common is currently in the studio working on his new album, BE, with producer Kanye West. BE is scheduled for a May 2005 release

1109636078 - January 1, 1970 By : Wow, after weeks and weeks of speculation about this apparent beef between 50 Cent and The Game, and 50 taking sublminal shots at Game in various interviews, it looks like the situation finally escalated.

According to many different internet forums, 50 is on 105.1 radio in New York right now talking about The Game. Here is a post by "Money In Da Bank" from the SOHH.com Forums:

"It's true, heard Power 105.1 with Ed Lover, and he had 50, Yayo & Olivia as guests. What 50 said was that Game is not with the group no more, because after coming back from overseas, he came back as a different person with a different attitude. 50 was talkin' how Game was more focused on dissin' Bleek and Jay and not focused on the label. 50 even admitted that Game is a rapper, not a songwriter (hint: 50 wrote his lyrics) and also gave him the cuts for Westside Story, How We Do, Higher, & Hate It or Love It. Ed asked 50, "So what happened, you and Game are in a shoving contest?" 50 responds, "He's the one who put his elbows out first. You know why Game sells? 'Cause they all knew that 50 Cent would be on the album. I won't be affiliated with him no more. His next album will probably sell 500 k cause of me. I gave him the ball and he ran with it, and now he ain't down with us."

Here is another post:

"when ed lover asked him what the situation is with game, and how is he as far as g-unit goes and 50 responed " he's across the street, around the corner, also said that he;s done as far as g-unit and that there will be no mending between them,,,he went on to say that the game is too inconsistent, he spoke about how he started beef with joe budden and then took pics with him @ a club in nyc...same situation with memph in miami..he said he say;s things and then ends up taking them back... so it looks like 2005 is gonna be a Big and messy year in HipHop..cant wait to seee what happens"

50 even went as far as saying that if Dr. Dre sides with Game instead of siding with him in this, he would drop a double album, fullfil his contract, and cut all ties with Interscope!

Apparently, The Game is now simoultaneously on Hot 97 talking to Angie Martinez about the situation. If anybody was able to record the show and has audio of any of the interview, please email me.

It will be interesting to see Dr. Dre's take on all this. Stay tuned!

They say all promotion is good promotion, so lets see what this does to Game's sales and 50's sales when his album drops in March. In my personal opinion (not Dubcnn.com's opinion), it seems like Game and 50 both have big heads of their own.

1109658055 - January 1, 1970 By : A member of 50 Cent's crew was wounded in a shooting at New York's Hot 97 Monday night (February 28) just as 50 Cent was making an appearance at the radio station to announce that the Game had been booted from the G-Unit.

Police said a man in his 20s from Los Angeles was shot in the left leg during an altercation at the station and was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital. The injury was not serious, and the victim is expected to fully recover.

An NYPD spokesperson offered no additional details about the incident, and initial reports differ as to whether the young man was affiliated with 50 and his entourage. New York's FOX affiliate reports that the rapper and his crew were escorted from the building via alternate exits following the shooting and escaped harm.

The shooting occurred while 50 Cent was appearing on Funkmaster Flex's radio show, where he told the DJ that the Game had been excommunicated from G-Unit because he feels the Compton rapper isn't loyal.

50 told Flex he was disappointed with comments Game made on the station Saturday night, when the West Coast MC revealed he would not be getting involved in the beefs 50 is stirring up with "Piggy Bank."

50 also said Game should stop saying "G-Unit." "He thinks he's doing me a favor when he says that."

During his conversation with Flex, 50 claimed Interscope was going to drop the Game until 50 stepped in and got involved with The Documentary. 50 also insisted that he's making more money off The Documentary than Game is, and that he wrote more choruses than he's credited for.

Believe it or not, Game was on Hot 97 earlier in the evening, talking to host Angie Martinez. When listeners called in to ask about his and 50's problems, Game simply said he was going to continue to make "good music." Two nights prior, Game had said on-air that he and 50 did not have to be friends as long as they worked toward that same common goal: making good music.

When I asked Bugg which city he represents, I was surprised when I heard "Los Angeles, San Bernardino & Monroe Louisiana". To clear that up, Bugg was born in Louisiana, moved to Texas till he was 5, then moved to L.A. and has spent most of his life in San Bernardino.

He had his start as a part of the Zoo Crew with 40 Glocc, Kay9ine and them, and he also has his group called the Groove Click. Bugg raps, produces and is an engineer too! He's working on his solo debut called "The Roach Motel", coming late 2005, and it's set to feature the likes of Snoop Dogg, Ras Kass, Jayo Felony, 40 Glocc, Spice 1, MC Eiht, Suga Free, Bad Azz, Xzibit, Frank Nitty and of course the Groove Click. A Groove Click album is also in the works called "Catch A Fade", slated for a 2006 release.


I have 3 banging songs up here for ya'll to download, and see what the hype is all about. Check them out below, DON'T SLEEP, you'll regret it later if you do sleep.

We here at DubCNN pride ourselves in bringing you the illest Hip Hop features on the net. Yes, we're a primarily West Coast site, but sometimes, there's artists so important, that it doesn't matter where they're from. Today, I have the honor to drop on ya'll a HUGE feature. At the Latin Rap Conference this year in San Diego, I was privleged enough to chop it up with Immortal Technique.

We were able to sit down for an In-Depth interview with the Harlem emcee. We talked about his up coming album Middle Passage, the racism of Spanish television, his run in with the law in Colorado, Classism in the U.S., how Latin Hip Hop can progress, the politics of the Hip Hop game, his time on the Warped Tour and of course, President Bush and the Government. We touched on many other subjects as well. Tech elaborated on everything, holding nothing back.

Even though the Camera died during our first meeting, we were able to snag Tech to finish the interview. For those who've never seen an Immortal Technique performance, you're in for a treat! He granted us the chance to be on stage during his performance. We caught it all on tape and included it in this feature. He performed "Bin Laden," "Harlem Streets," "Peruvian Coke," "Point Of No Return," "Caught In A Hustle," and others! He dropped a few accapellas, as well.

At the moment, the transcription isn't finished, but with help from Demics, the webmaster for Immortal-Technique.com, it'll be up by this weekend, at the lastest! 56Kers, leave your computer all day, it's worth it!

So enough talking... Here it is! Spread the word, tell your peoples!

1110068050 - January 1, 1970 By : What up everyone? Yes, another chapter in the G-Unit/Game drama was written last night at the Vault 350 in Long Beach. I wasn't able to attend, as I was handling things at a show of my own (more on that soon), but I was able to get the scoop on what happened at the show. My boy Juda Starr filled me in with what went down. He told me that Game was on stage and started yelling out "50 Cent can suck my dick, Young Buck can suck my dick, Lloyd Banks can suck my dick," and went on naming the entire G-Unit, as well as Violator (50's Management company). Courtesy of DaPhatSpot.com you can watch 2 clips of it. The first clip is very grainy and was shot in the VIP section, but you can see Game on stage starting the chant. The second clip focuses on the big T.V. screens, which makes it more clear and shows Game saying a name (e.g. 50, Lloyd Banks etc.) with the crowd ending with "Suck my dick." Check it out for yourselves.

Here is a review of the show writting by the homie "caffeine" from the Siccness.net boards:

"Gane starts off by telling the DJ....(Who happens to be DJ QUIK) "cut the muthafuckin music i wanna clear some shit up! Im in my home town!! Long Beach is right down the street from COMPTON"....so he takes off this bulletproof vest and the boy is HEATED!!! MADDD AS HELL! In Games wordz......FUCK 50 CENT ABOUT 100 TIMES....FUCK G-UNIT......THEN HE STARTS NAMING ALL OF THE G-UNIT LLOYD BANKS, TONY YAYO, ETC...calling them all bitches etc etc... saying if they wanna kill me they know where im at on the corner of wilmington and in cpt!

Then he told the story about the incident in NYC how once he heard what was being said from the G-UNIT camp he took his whole Cedar Block Set up to the radio station where G-unit was at. GAME said the G-UNIT camp went out the back way and told the security guards that there was some bloods outside causing trouble! GAME said that the security guard just came out blasting and got one of his homies.

So in all the songs he sang hes ripping the G-UNIT camp a new one!!! Killing them off....freestyling, FUCK 50 (I KIDD YOU NOT LIKE 100 TIMES) He gets cut off by LBPD rep that was watching over the show....then GAME is like im gonna end the night like this .......i heard and watch what 50 said on 106 & park!! but fuck that...dem Niggaz wanna try to work things out........I QUIT G-UNIT!

The GAME is no joke, homies!! Once we got outta the dam show it was crazy!!! they closed down like all of downtown long beach, there was cops in full riot gear, the ghetto bird, everyone ended the night chanting FUCK 50 F**K G-UNIT! GAME WALKED ALL THE WAY TO HIS DRESSING ROOM YELLING THAT!!"

DubCNN is the name! We back with a WORLD PREMIERE. South Central rapper Young Dre, who caused alot of controversy with his interview we did with him last year (check that here), is back, cocked and ready to take off! He talked about the song "Rap Game Ain't Gangsta As Me" in the interview. "My lil brother's on the beginning on the intro, 8 year old boy, watchin' videos on TV, and he asks me "Is Snoop Dogg a gang member, and why are his fingernails long?" and I tell'em like "I don't think Snoop's a gang member, he grew up around the gang, and maybe his fingernails is long to represent some kind of sniffing cocaine, or some shit!" But it's hard to tell a child that when you wanna be real with them, and they askin' you is 50 Cent a killer, is whoo whoo whoop and this and that, and you tell them these dudes is acting on TV. And these dudes is proclaimin' somethin' that they actually not doin'! It's actually entertainment! And in that song, I speak on a few cats, from Puffy, to 50, to Dre, to the South the Birdman, to Fabolous, to Jay-Z, to Nas, I just speak on the truth! You feel me?", he said about the song.

The track has also angered several record label execs who heard it, but hey, you know DubCNN, we don't censor shit. As Snoop Dogg said, "DubCNN, where they give it to you raw and exclusive". So let's jump right into the track, "Rap Game Ain't Gangsta As Me", this is a world premiere!

1110165724 - January 1, 1970 By : Within four short years in the rap game, Houston heavy hitter Mike Jones has gone from a fledgling rapper struggling to get his records in rotation to one of the most well-known game spitters on the southern underground. And with the release of his SwishaHouse/Asylum/Warner Bros. Records solo debut, the world will soon know exactly Who Is Mike Jones?

Already a household name throughout the South and Mid-West, Mike Jones gained regional fame on more than two dozen now legendary SwishaHouse "screwed-up" mix tapes. Known for his amusing metaphors, witty punch lines and charismatic freestyles, Mike Jones set himself apart from other rappers by constantly repeating his name throughout his rhymes and hooks then following with the question "Who?"

With a legion of devout followers faithfully answering "Mike Jones," the self-proclaimed "king of the streets" has dropped three underground solos and spit unforgettable verses on highly praised independent compilation The Day Hell Broke Loose 2 and collaborative effort 1st Round Draft Picks with indie artist Magno.

"I used to go to clubs and give deejays my CD," he remembers. "They’d be like ‘who are you?’ And I’d be like ‘Mike Jones.’ And they’d be like ‘who?’ Mike Jones. ‘Who?’ Mike Jones."
He continues, "Then, I’d go home and tell my grandmomma I gave a couple of deejays my CD, and they didn’t know who I was. She said ‘just start saying who? Mike Jones. Who? Mike Jones.’"
Heeding his grandmother’s words of wisdom, Mike Jones incorporated her marketing scheme into every rhyme. He even put his telephone number 281-330-8004 into his verses.

"The whole concept of the album ‘Who Is Mike Jones? coming soon’- she told me to do that," says Mike. "She was like ‘give them your number to keep in touch with the people who’re helping you move your momma out of here.’ That’s what I did."

The plan paid off, making Mike Jones an underground sensation. Unfortunately, his grandmother passed away before she could see her grandson’s dream materialize. Mike Jones immortalizes his grand groove in a yet untitled song that will be featured on Who Is Mike Jones?

Raised in north Houston’s Stude Wood area, Mike Jones began rapping in 2001. Going for self, he started his own label Ice Age Entertainment and earned a name throughout Houston with his self-distributed Ice Age Vol 1. The buzz caught the attention of SwishaHouse owner DJ Michael Watts, so Mike Jones opted to curtail his own label and sign an artist deal with the indie powerhouse the following year.

"The fame was big in Texas," he says, "but when I got with SwishaHouse, it went from Texas to everyplace else." In fact, Jay Frank, head of programming and label relations, Yahoo! Music states, "Through most of 2004, Mike Jones was outsearching [Interscope's] The Game, so we knew that his first single would explode on Yahoo! Music. With over 500,000 plays every week, there's no doubt that Mike Jones will be a huge sales story for 2005.”

That fame is extending even further as Mike Jones’ jump off single "Still Tippin’" featuring label mate Paul Wall and Star Track signee Slim Thug is steadily heating up radio, MTV and BET audiences. Accompanying the video is a separate screwed version as well.

"I was hot off of Ice Age. I got with SwishaHouse and got hotter," he boasts. "Now that SwishaHouse is with Warner Brothers, we got even more hotter."

And he doesn’t intend on cooling down any time soon. Along with delivering one of the most anticipated CDs in the south, Who Is Mike Jones? will also include a chopped and screwed remix version of the album.

"Where we’re from, (screw) is a big issue. People like to hear (music) slowed up," he explains. "Some people like it regular, but they might put the screwed version in and find out they like the screwed version too.”

"I think people wanna know what screw is about," he continues. "They’ve been hearing a lot about it, and they wanna experience it." Soon, the world will know what the southern underground has known for some time now and will have no reason to ask Who Is Mike Jones?

If you've been living under a rock, here's the "Still Tippin' video.

1110166182 - January 1, 1970 By : The Game had a show sheduled this Tuesday March 8th in Vancouver. The show has now been cancelled. Here's the official statement from the promoters:

"In the 12 years in which Gman & Rizk have been doing events, the 8 years that spectrum has been doing events, and the 8 years in which Tigerstone has been doing events, none of us have ever cancelled or postponed a show unless an artist-related health matter or family emergency suddenly arose. In regards to The Game, we confirmed a show for March 8th at Plush. He subsequently postponed our date until April 3rd, a new date he confirmed with us. From there just a few days later, he asked us to switch back to March 3, and re-confirmed our original date, all the while inconveniencing not only ourselves, but our media sponsor The Beat 94.5, our retail sponsor Dipt Urban Hookups, and you the fans. Today, we were once again asked to move the date. We've developed thick skin over the years as promoters - we've dealt with countless problems, most of them we solved without you the consumer even knowing. We've been able to work through problem-ridden events with no one but ourselves being inconvenienced - but, always, we fixed what needed fixing and gave you what we promised. With regards to this show, literally everyone involved was and is getting inconvenienced with the sudden changes in dates and we have not been given reasons we find acceptable. We have the option of confirming April 3rd once again, but we choose to no longer put you, our loyal supporters through yet another date change. The word "confirmed" is not being taken seriously enough by The Game for our liking, and we wish to not put you through the roller-coaster ride any more. We have chosen to cancel The Game concert altogether and as a result we will be eating the costs of radio ads, print advertising, etc., whereas you will all be entitled to your full refund at point of purchase. Had we chose to re-confirm April 3, there existed a chance of yet another sudden date change not related to a health matter of family emergency. You deserve better. That said, we hope that you see this clearly as a matter that was out of our control, one we tried to work through. And we hope that you will continue to support Gman, Rizk, spectrum, and Tigerstone as we have been working and will continue to work hard at providing you with THE BEST urban-music events this city has ever experienced.

Yours Sincerely

Gman & Rizk - spectrum events -Tigerstone Entertainment"

1110405206 - January 1, 1970 By : Here is the official press release:

Perhaps selling 1.1 million copies of his new album in four days has softened the heart of 50 Cent. Or maybe he has so many feuds going, he can afford to let one go.

On Wednesday, 50 Cent and The Game publicly squashed a bitter feud that had erupted into gunfire last week after 50 kicked Game out of his G-Unit clique for disloyalty.

The two platinum-selling gangsta rappers didn't exactly kiss and make up. When they emerged before a media throng at Harlem's famed Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, both looked as if they'd been shoved into apologies by a stern mother.

But they did shake hands, albeit at the end of the press conference, after speaking about contrition and the need for peace.

50 noted that Wednesday was the anniversary of the unsolved murder of Biggie Smalls in 1997, the culmination of a rap war between Biggie and Tupac Shakur that pitted East Coast against West.

"We're here today to show that people can rise above the most difficult circumstances and together we can put negativity behind us," said 50, a native New Yorker. "A lot of people don't want to see it happen, but we're responding to the two most important groups, our family and our fans."

"I just want to apologize on behalf of myself and 50," said Game, who's from the Los Angeles suburb of Compton. "I'm almost ashamed to have participated in the things that happened in the last couple of weeks."

50 presented an oversized check for $150,000 to the Boys Choir of Harlem. Game donated $103,500. It was not clear why Game chose that amount or whether he had been reinstated in G-Unit; no questions were taken at the press conference. They also both made contributions to the Compton schools music program.

Is the truce sincere?

"Of course it was genuine," said hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, who was at the event. "They stood on stage together."

At the very least, it was a remarkable concession for rappers who routinely brag about killing their enemies.

"It is the first time we've seen 50 publicly take a step back" from a battle, said Elliott Wilson, editor in chief of the hip-hop magazine XXL.

In a statement earlier Wednesday, 50 Cent said: "I'm launching a new foundation, the G-Unity Foundation, Inc., to help people overcome obstacles and make a chance for the better in their lives ... to help them overcome their situations. I realized that if I'm going to be effective at that, I have to overcome some of my own. Game and I need to set an example in the community."

50 Cent has always set an example — usually as an unapologetic criminal gleefully wreaking havoc on other rappers. He almost single-handedly dismantled the multi-platinum career of Ja Rule by relentlessly targeting him in songs, magazines and his 2003 debut, the eight-million selling "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."

Last week 50 released his sophomore CD, "The Massacre," which including a song attacking rappers like Fat Joe, Nas and Jadakiss for making a record with Ja Rule. But his beef with Game was unusual because it involved a member of his own camp.

As 50 was on the radio announcing the expulsion of Game from G-Unit — apparently because Game wouldn't turn his back on some of 50s many enemies — Game's crew rolled up to the station. Guns were fired inside the lobby and a member of Game's posse was wounded.

Game is a protege of superproducer Dr. Dre, who put Eminem (news - web sites) on the map, who in turn made 50 Cent a superstar. They're all on the same parent label, Interscope Records.

Those relationships probably played a hand in Wednesday's reconciliation.

"It's pressure for 50 to look at it from a business perspective and not a personal perspective," Elliott said. "I think the press conference was forced by the mainstream media's reaction to the incident. They don't benefit on a business level to be associated with violence."

Could the whole thing have been a publicity stunt for two rappers with albums in stores now?

Elliott doesn't buy it. "There really was a beef. I think there was a genuine conflict that 50 felt The Game was unappreciative of all the work he did on his album ... and Game is feeling like, 'I'm my own man now.'"

But the two have apparently decided that they have more to lose going against each other.

"I think (50) will continue to beef with other artists," Elliott said. "But to beef with your own artist and someone who you're in business with, it doesn't help you."

1110441475 - January 1, 1970 By : Just researched into the kid Oowee and got some information on him for those interested, here's a feature that was done on him in by OZONE Magazine in December 2004.

“I’m a real street nigga, shawty,” Oowee brags, puffing on a cigarette. “A real street nigga is any man that’s willing to hold his own under any circumstance and be true to his word.” Of course, this is a standard claim coming from any rapper. But Oowee can back it up – even though he’s only nineteen, he’s already got stories for days. Still a teenager, he confidently approaches grown women with a swagger and demonstrates the mannerisms of a grown man. Oowee’s always been ahead of his time. At age thirteen, he was already driving. He recalls a situation where he’d picked up an older friend and they got pulled over. “I got caught up in some stuff that I ain’t got nothing to do with,” he remembers. “I didn’t even know he had work on him. I almost had to do a bid. He finally told ‘em [the drugs] had nothing to do with me.” Despite the street influences around him, Oowee was able to get focused on a more positive career by making use of his musical talents. Born and raised in North Carolina, he moved to Atlanta a year later at age fourteen – alone. He quickly became the flagship artist of Bogard Music, who signed a deal with Warner Bros’ “incubator” for independents, Asylum Records. His single, “Chain Swangin’,” features fellow Cak-A-Lak native Petey Pablo and has been getting play on radio stations throughout the Southeast. The video, in which Oowee and Petey party side by side in a club he’s probably not even old enough to get into, also appears on BET Uncut. His upcoming album, the appropriately named Mannish, will be an ample platform for the young’un to flex his superstar skills." Photo and words courtesy of OZONE Magazine.

Shouts goin' out to elmizzy from our forums (if you aren't a member yet, what are you waiting on?) for recording this. Ras Kass was a guest on K-Day today, with the homie Julio G.

The long awaited interview with The Kings of Underground Hip Hop, Sick Jacken, DJ F.M. of The Psycho Realm along with Cro and Cynic of Street Platoon, together known as Sick Symphonies; granted us an exclusive sit down interview. 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!

Thanks to SGV and JoeC you will be able to see it, hear it or read it!
I am doing my best to transcript it for everyone who doesn't have the capability to download audio or video. How was the interview you ask? One word. S I C K!

I have the pleasure to let you download the song now in high quality MP3. Yes sir! Fuck that radio rip, download this shit and bump it in your car, let everybody hear you blastin' that Ras Kass shit!

Da Riffs came with a banging hard hitting beat, and Ras opts for a slower flow, and the hook is catchy too. The song "California Anthem" fit it too, but it's "Deformed Pretty Boys" people, check it out below:

People who post on our forums know the facts, however it is easy to see how the casual observer could make the jump based on his unfortunate choice of username.

Here are the REAL facts

1) This information has been lifted from posts by a user on our forum called mellowmanisback. This user has repeatedly stated HE IS NOT MEL-MAN. He has also stated that although he says he is connected to Aftermath his comments are to remain on the forum.

btw.. a sidenote.. one site misposted his name as mellowmanisba (without the ck). You can tell which sites steal news from others instead of doing their own legwork if they've propogated this error!

2) No one has ever asked for or been given permission to take quotes from our forum by myself (I am the sole owner and adminstrator) or the user called mellowmanisback.

3) dubcc.com is NOT run by dubcnn.com. We came first by several years. In fact dubcnn.com is a spin-off of dubcc.com! However dubcc.com is dubcnn's official forum.

He had a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago, and unfortunately, he didn't make. This is a sad day for HipHop, our condolences to his friends & family.

1111022659 - January 1, 1970 By : DJ Warrior wins Best West Coast Mixtape DJ again at Justo's 9th Annual Mixtape Awards!!

NEW YORK- DJ Warrior, is now without a doubt the West Coast's
Finest mixtape DJ when he won Best West Coast Mixtape DJ again at Justos Mixtape Awards held at BB Kings on March 9 in New York City. DJ Strong, co-founder of Cali Untouchable DJs was also nominated for
the Best West Coast Mixtape DJ award. Cali Untouchable DJs were represented well by DJ Warrior, Strong, Cali Untouchable Street Team, and Dow Jones who were all in attendance. DJ Fingaz and DJ Fatal still made and appearance via satellite, and DJ Hideo was in L.A. holding it down at 100.3 The Beat.

"I Feel I definitely deserved (the award) because nobody out here in the West breaks artists like we do", said DJ Warrior about winning the award for The Cali Untouchables. In the last year, Warrior and the Cali Untouchable DJs have broken such artists to the west by putting out mixtapes featuring The Game, Saigon, Strong Arm Steady, Crooked I, Balance, Scipio, Dynamic Certified, Y.A, Technique, Ricashay, Spitfyre, Runnin Mad to name a few and hot producers such as Da Riffs. Along side major players like Kurupt, Outlawz, The Game, DJ Muggs, Talib Kweli, Method Man, Chamillionaire, Pitbull, Stat Quo, etc Warrior says, "We're respected locally, nationally, and overseas, we make it happen"

DJ Strong states "It was good to be recognized for our hard work and
talent but Warrior winning means the team wins so I got no problem coming in 2nd. Next year we're going to take over the whole category."

"We are the DJs that made this mixtape thing popular while other non
mixtape DJs trying to claim they doing something in the mixtape game,
...we would like to inform you there's no mixtape DJs in L.A.,
especiallly Southern CA, besides Cali Untouchable DJs." Says DJ Warrior. "We are the truth for the West, we dont just speak on this we live it everyday...how bout all the real mixtape DJs stand up in Southern CA...hmm, i dont see anybody. So please stop the fakeness before we do u like a chump...holla."

The mixtape awards had a new category with The Best West Coast Mixtape Artist. The artist that were nominated (Game, Balance, Outlaws, and Scipio); all were featured on Cali Untouchable DJs mixtape released as far back as 2003. You can find all of the
award-winning mixtapes at HipHopWest.com

1111117578 - January 1, 1970 By : Westcoast rhyme king Crooked I is officially in the studio working on his upcoming debut solo album, now titled "Boss Music".

Production of the album was stopped late last year, due to legal issues facing Crooked I, and his imprint Dynasty Records. Those issues have now been resolved, Dynasty Records can move forward meaning Crooked I is now legally his own boss, hence the name change from "Mama's Boy" to "Boss Music".

For further information visit the (soon to be re-designed) Dynasty Records Forum.

1111422862 - January 1, 1970 By : Snoop Dogg third single off his current album "R&G: The Masterpiece" is the song "Signs" with Uncle Charlie Wilson & Justin Timberlake. Personally, I'm not a fan of this song at all, Snoop justified the choice in our interview by saying he went pop on this one, he's been gangsta his whole life, and he aimed at the pop crowd for this one.

Whatever the case, this is his new video, I have it up here for ya'll to download (40MB, High Speed), shouts to my man Wood for his help.

1111814908 - January 1, 1970 By : Bigg Snoop Dogg hits up DubCNN.com again to broadcast a message. Tha Doggfather has been working behind the scenes and is definitely going to be shaking the rap game up real soon. It's a NEW MOVEMENT, definitely, to bring the West Coast back on track.

Snoop hit us up to let us know a little bit about what's coming.

"It's basically a movement. It's a muthafucka trying to put the West Coast in the proper perspective. As far as just unifying and organizing. And once I get with the players from the West that matter, that make a difference, that really need to be at this muthafuckin' situation, we will proceed to give you more information, and have you with us so you can check it all out with your own two eyes." [Audio: HERE]


Snoop Dogg is eager to get this West Coast shit cracking again, and as he said unifying everybody. He's going to be calling a Western Conference real soon, to make all this shit official, of course, DubCNN will be in the house.

This will also help to break new artists from the West in the game, who haven't shined yet, aswell as veterans still putting it down. "Definitely fucking with new artists, definitely. And this is basically just to help get over all the bitterness of artists that had deals, and can't make it, give them some love, and at the same time open the doors for them new acts!."

Snoop is well aware that it's hard nowadays to make it if you're not affiliated or signed to an already established artists. "It's like this. Dre or Snoop. Dre is fuckin' with none of ya'll. And I'm tired of niggaz trying on their own, doing their thang, and not selling. Every nigga that I rap with that ain't even from the West Coast somehow sell a million records. So why can't I do it for my niggaz at home? Even the niggaz that I don't like, that got attitudes wit me, that hate on me. I can suck it up and become a business man and show them that they shouldn't hate me but they should love me cause I'm a window of opportunity.".[Audio: HERE]

When I told him that alot of his fans were afraid he turned his back to the West Coast when he signed to Star Trak, he replied "I'm not signed to the Neptunes. I don't even know how that got out! I'm on Doggystyle Records! If you noticed everytime you see my video, you see my shit, it say Doggystyle/Star Trak/Geffen. It's a business move! After I left No Limit, I refused to be signed to anybody else! I'm a boss!" [Audio: HERE]

He also spoke on upcoming projects on Doggystyle Records. Soopafly's upcoming album is set to come out on there, aswell as possibly the D.P.G. album that's in the works as we speak.


But the main topic of this update is the Western Conference. This is more than just an event, or just a project, or just a record, this is a whole Movement. I'm not going to let the cat out the bag just yet, but I will bring ya'll more detailed info on this real soon. "The Western Conference. We need this! We need something to organize niggaz, unify, and have some type of leader that they can look up to in this game, from somebody who can really stamp they shit! I'ma put the plan together in the next couple of days as far as getting all the figures together that should be a part of it and run it past them. Once I run it past them, it's up to them to execute it!". [Audio: HERE]

You can also catch Snoop on tour with The Game right now nationwide. "We about to jump on that tour together. This shit is going to be a program that can work, if ya'll want it to work. If ya'll ain't with it when I come back home, cool! I'll keep doing me ya'll keep doing ya'll. But if ya'll with it when I come home, you gotta have your shit together!". [Audio: HERE]


This is just the beginning of what DubCNN and Snoop Dogg are going to bring you. Until we get the shit fully cracking, check out an exclusive drop from Snoop for the site below:

1112229223 - January 1, 1970 By : As ya'll probably heard, WCRydaz.com put up a statement from Kurupt Young Gotti, where he basically said that he would be down to get back with Daz & Snoop Dogg, for a Dogg Pound Reunion.
This is what all the fans have been wishing for since the breakup in 2002. I quickly caught up with Daz, and it looks like all parties haven't agreed to this yet, however it is not impossible.

"Ask him if he's still with Suge Knight!", Daz said. "Aslong as he's with Suge Knight & Death Row, ain't no way in hell I'm fuckin' with it!"

A reunion seems possible though, after the obligatory fight Daz wants to have. "I'ma have to beat his ass first. Then we can talk. He can do this thang. I know Snoopy been talkin' to alotta cats. And my name keep poppin' up! I ain't worried about that..">.

Hopefully we'll see something good come outta this, because we all know Snoop, Daz, Kurupt, Bad Azz, Soopafly, Nate Dogg etc were at their best when they were all together, united, as the Dogg Pound Gangstas.

It has been reported that Bishop is now signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records, however that is not completely true. They are in talks, it is looking very good, but nothing has been inked as of yet, so it's not official yet.

I spoke to Bishop about the on-going "West Coast Movement" and all of his homies that's involved. You'll notice that Bishop is ALL about bringing up other artists, and showcasing other people besides hisself. Of course, he spoke on the Dr. Dre/Aftermath thing, so find out the real about that here too.

Not to forget is his upcoming collabo album with Tyrese aka Black Ty called "Best Of Both Hoods" which is shaping up to be a CRAZY record, find out all about it in the interview.

1112443915 - January 1, 1970 By : IT'S TRUE!!!!!!! It's been in motion over the last week, starting with Bigg Snoop Dogg announcing his West Coast Conference he's going to call on the site and saying he wants to involve everybody from the West, followed by Kurupt making it public that he's down to get down with Daz & Snoop again.

Today, Daz Dillinger made the final step by announcing on Julio G's K-Day that he's ready to move on and get back with Kurupt.

This is the best news in a LONG ASS TIME, Daz & Kurupt, Kurupt & Daz, back together. It remains unclear whether Kurupt is still signed to Death Row, and what the situation with the other members such as Bad Azz, Nate Dogg etc is. However they are trying to patch things up with Jayo Felony, 40 Glocc and such.



We'll keep you updated on this, this is huge news for the West Coast, and the rap game in general. I'm sure the two still have the same chemistry they used to have before the break up.

1112755063 - January 1, 1970 By : The Boom Bap Project stands for one thing... preservation of true hiphop music and culture. As the culture has progressed into a billion dollar industry, the Boom Bap Project has remained unscathed and true to their moniker - true boom-bap-style hiphop. The multi-cultural, Seattle based trio consists of MC's Karim aka Nightclubberlang, Destro Destructo, and DJ Scene. Through their trials and travails of seven years in the unforgiving underground indie scene, Boom Bap has emerged with a soon to be classic album "Reprogram," which is being released and pushed on Rhymesayers Entertainment. The Rhymesayers label is responsible for introducing a plethora of next-level hiphop including the likes of Atmosphere, MF Doom, Brother Ali, Eyedea and Abilities, and Grayskul, to name a few. The legacy is definitely set to continue with Boom Bap Project's "Reprogram," an album that combines the street feel of Run DMC, circa 87', with the freshness of 2k5 wordplay,and production from Seattle's best Jake One and Vitamin D - producers responsible for crafting bangers for the likes of G-Unit and 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, De La Soul, Gift of Gab and Ghostface Killa. Top notch production combined with fierce, focused wordplay equals the Boom Bap.

The BBP first dropped the critically acclaimed album "Circumstance Dictates" in early 2001. The album, entirely produced by Jake One and Vitamin D made waves on the indie scene, and eventually lead to a rigorous touring schedule across the US and Canada. BBP smashed virtually every US and Canadian market with their brand of true hiphop, along the way securing an extremely loyal fanbase that continued to grow with each visit. The crews contacts and efforts found them sharing the stage locally and nationally with the likes of Eminem, the Wu Tang Clan, the Roots, the Black Eyed Peas, Snoop Dogg, as well as all the top drawing independent hiphop acts across the nation. In 2002, BBP was invited to the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they rocked to 30,000 global music fans with the likes of Erykah Badu, the Roots, Common and Talib Kweli. That same year found the Seattle trio rocking the infamous Bumbershoot festival on the main stadium stage in front of 50,000 heads with the likes of Mos Def, Jurassic 5 and Dilated Peoples. Along the way, their exhaustingly energetic stage show garnered them thousands of new fans, believers and allies in the fickle hiphop industry amongst performers and the like, and a hardcore local and national fan base. The wave of Northwestern momentum meant attention from numerous indie and major labels, and Boom Bap finally signed with the prestigious and well connected Fat Beats Records of New York City. As the buzz for the next album grew, the crew was ready to make an even bigger move, and signed to Independent hiphop's top-producing label, Rhymesayers Entertainment.

The new album bears allegiance to the classic hiphop formula and ideals. "Reprogram is Seattle HipHop, it's a unique sound that represents our undiscovered region, and more importantly, represents our take on what we feel is the true shit...straight hiphop, no chaser," BBP MC Nightclubberlang says. "We wanted to make a classic sounding album while sticking to what we know and do, and at the same time, we want to rep the whole Northwest, cuz we've been slept on and overlooked for way too long," MC Destro Destructo adds. The album does just that. With a concrete, street level, upbeat approach, the album is chock full of banging joints. To add to the all-star production lineup of Jake One, Vitamin D, Bean One and Mr. Hill, guest appearances and collaborations take the record over the top. Guests on "Reprogram" include true hiphop heavyweights Dilated Peoples, Blackalicious (Gift of Gab), the Lifesavas, Grayskul, world champion DJ Vin Roc, and their own NW based 20 person crew, Oldominion. Each guest adds their own take on that classic Boom Bap, and leaves the audience with a truly classic LP which can and will undoubtedly stand the test of time amongst other classic hiphop records. In a quest to blow up their region and rock the spot, the Boom Bap Project delivers with energetic, next level Northwest hiphop. The quest is putting themselves and Seattle and the whole NW on the map, all the while staying true to the culture and ideals passed down from the likes of Chuck D, KRS One and Run DMC. This is the Boom Bap Project...Welcome to Seattle!

Cop their Mixtape Welcome To Seattle! It's out now and is packed full of hot shit. One of the most promising producers Jake One has about 7 tracks on it.

They even got features from people like Rakka Iriscience of Dilated Peoples, the up and coming One-Be Lo, Blackalicious emcee Gift Of Gab and even Portlands own Cool Nutz!! As you can see, they're not your typical underground emcees, they can rock with anyone!

1112891448 - January 1, 1970 By : Some of the greatest MCs that ever touched a mic have past away while others have retired, but the streets is talking and everyone wants to know who has what it takes to elevate the rap game to another level.
In Hip Hop, it is about survival of the fittest and Al Gator a.k.a. “Da Free Agent” is definitely ready to put the rap game on his back.

The question is are we ready for him?

23 year-old Georgia native, Alden “Al Gator” Portress grew up in the streets of College Park where initially he started working in music production. Shortly thereafter Gator formed a rap group, with the Hip Hop artists now known as Ludacris and DTP, called “Playaz Circle” this enabled him to sharpen his writing skills as well as his lyrical prowess.

In less than two years of writing and battling, Gator has received a tremendous amount of critical acclaim being compared to rap elites such as Nas & Jay-Z in their earlier careers.As the Source Magazine’s unsigned talent to watch in 2005, Gator is making everyone aware that southern hip-hop is going to take on a totally different meaning once he’s officially in the game.

After listening to his infectious flow, heavy hitting producers in the game such as The Alchemist, Focus (Aftermath Ent.), Dent, Midi Mafia, Mr. DJ from Organized Noise, and Rick Rock have proven that Gator has what it takes to lace even their flyest beats. “Man, this dude is hot,” says Focus (Aftermath Ent.).
Aside from working with the some of the best producers in the game, Gator has created a buzz on the underground scene by independently moving over 3000 units of his first mixtape entitled “Da Free Agent Vol. 1.”

Gator has been approached by A&R executives from Island Def Jam, Star Trak Entertainment, Soso Def Recordings, TVT Records, Blackbaby Ent. and Roc-A-Fella Records.

Dubcnn Brings you two hot tracks from this young cat both produced by Aftermath producer Focus(who did Where Im From on Game's album):

Al Gator "Nothin 2 Lose" Produced By Focus (Aftermath)
Al Gator "Mouf Of The South" Produced By Focus (Aftermath)

1113014357 - January 1, 1970 By : Pariah Entertainment was formed in 2003 by Moe Arnaiz, Charles Jolivette and Desi Gallardo, with the common goal of separating the art of music from the complex business that it embodies. At Pariah we are dedicated to supporting musicians as they develop artistically, encouraging experimentation and change. We as a corporation are determined to provide our artists with the highest level of marketing, distribution and production while allowing their focal point to be the music. Pariahs goal is to bring quality, affordable music to the masses through networking, touring and Internet-selling campaigns. So please join us as we look to reshape the music industry and restore the art back into this business.

This being the groups first album together, we want to make a good first impression to our audience, and I feel that Soul Gossip is just that. Any song on this album has the power to stand alone as a single," said The Backcourt?s manager, Moe Arnaiz. With the first single "Summer Daze" already receiving airplay from radio stations such as the Bay Areas 106.1 KMEL and Hot 98.7 in Santa Rosa, the future is looking bright for The Backcourt?s debut album, Soul Gossip.

Pariah Entertainment has made the official decision to release the album, Soul Gossip , with distribution to various record stores nationwide. But they are looking to experiment by making their primary distribution outlet their company Web site, TheBackcourt.com. Pariah Entertainment insists that this method of distribution presents several benefits to its audience.

"Usually, fans are stuck paying $10 to $15 for CDs in stores. With our new method of online distribution the CDs only costs $7.99, and we will even have promotions that will enable buyers to avoid shipping costs," said the Pariah Entertainment CEO. This new method of distribution is becoming common in the independent music industry with national distribution remaining expensive and difficult to attain.

Hopefully the internet becomes the future of record distribution. "It will give indie labels, like ourselves the opportunity to compete with the big labels, and it will provide independent artists with the ability to carve their niche into the music industry," said one Pariah Entertainment staff member. Pariah is even planning to post three singles from the Soul Gossip album on the Web site for the FREE listening pleasure of their audience. Pariah artist Rap4Rights commented, "We encourage our fans to listen to our singles. Once they hear those tracks we are confident that they will be back to buy the complete CD." With the album price only a fraction of the cost compared to most albums, Rap4Rights may have a valid point, but only time will tell, as for now the coming months for Pariah Entertainment and The Backcourt look to be full of excitement and experimentation.

1113062109 - January 1, 1970 By : Sup ya'll I just wanted to give a few local homies of mine some shine and let the world know about them. There's alot more to Orlando,Fl than Walt Disney World, Seaworld, Universal Studios and tourists.

Representing Orange County, Orlando, Florida, this group of artists has managed to establish their own sound in the rap game, mixing a perfect blend of Dirty South, Crunk, R & B, and Hip Hop. The groups four members; Cheeze, Tsick, Poetic, and Eliseo (a.k.a. 50/50) have also managed to critique and perfect their skills and crafts over the years they have been together as well as accomplish many other things along the way. First starting as two separate groups, Curbside and Manifest each consisting of four members, the two groups would unite to form the eight member group 9.1.7., which represents the band room of the high school where everyone first met. However, creative differences caused the group to disband and only three members remained in contact and continued to pursue the local rap scene. Cheeze, Tsick, and Eliseo (a.k.a. 50/50) decided to claim the name 9.1.7. for themselves after they recorded their first song, “P.I.M.P.I.N.G.” together and decided to become a group in early 2000.


The group recorded a whole 14 track strictly underground album under the name 9.1.7. and released the last song that they recorded for the album, “Entering Orange County,” which was a tribute and anthem to the natives home, Orange County Florida.
This song wasn’t in “no type of way” mixed or even ready for the streets when it was released. It played on the local underground radio station and caught like wildfire throughout Orlando’s hip hop scene. However, the name 9.1.7., which actually was a group consisting of 24 or 25 members had a problem with the three claiming the name for themselves. So the three members decided not to use the name 9.1.7. and decided to use the name that the streets had given to them, TREAL, a saying that dates back to lord knows when and which means too real or as they like to say real to the T.



TREAL’s first album titled after their two year straight, number one, underground single, “Entering Orange County,” managed to sell a few thousand copies, mainly because of that one song, but had other songs such as “Ya Know” and “P.I.M.P.I.N.G.” which the street loved. However, that one song “Entering Orange County” was heard all over Florida and earned the group the name Kingz of tha County or Tha Orange County Kingz. Now the group is working on their debut album “Crunk Tested and Approved” which is the _expression given to the method of how they approve songs for an album. The group would study the industry, listen to what sound is going on, create a song of the same formula but give their twist on it and release it to the streets for opinions. If the song was a sure winner, then it was approved, if it wasn’t it was dropped. This method allowed the group
to be featured on many mixtapes especially in the Central Florida area and helped TREAL establish a core fanbase, which is growing.

Throughout the start of their career, TREAL has managed to do countless shows, especially in Orlando Florida. The have opened up for such acts as, 8 Ball and MJG, Lil Wayne, Pastor Troy, Lil Jon, Trick Daddy, Lil Scrappy and the list goes on. Many people have described their shows in one word, “Crunktivity!” “People love the energy that comes from them on stage. You can’t help but to get involved because subconsciously they make you,” a TREAL fan stated. “In fact, there has been many cases when TREAL opened up for a big act and had the crowd more involved and more energized as the opening act, than the official act itself.”

1113163046 - January 1, 1970 By : According to the dictionary the word zero is a numerical symbol that represents the absolute absence of any quantity or magnitude. It is the lowest possible point or degree, nothing, zilch, nada, nil. Over the years the word zero has come to represent the average brother struggling to survive in the wake of devastating poverty and institutional racism that has regulate young Black men to the bottom of America’s socio-economic latter; hence the reason why Houston native and Rap-A-Lot latest rap sensation Z-RO chose the numerical symbol for his stage moniker.

“I come from nothing,” says Z-RO. “Didn’t have nothing and couldn’t see nothing up ahead. Everything was just nothing. So I told myself a long time ago that I am going to adopt the name of nothing and make something with it. I [took] that name to keep me grounded [and] to remind me of where I came from [and] to respect my blessings right now so I don’t go back that way.”

And the place where Z-RO came from was nowhere near nice. Born Joseph Wayne McVey in Houston’s rough and tumble South Park area. The 28 year old rap sensation was shuttled from household to household, in search of stability. But that stability would be even harder to find when at age six Z-RO’s mother died, forcing him to come to grips with pain at an early age. Once again Z-RO was forced to move to the east side of town, where things started to get kind of hectic for him. “That’s when shit started to get real,” recalls Z-RO. “A nigga started experiencing gun shots, stab wounds and all that other type of shit….all the shit that comes with being grown.”

By the time Z-RO had reached his late teens he had fallen victim to many of the traps that the system had set for young Black males, seeking a decent life with no jobs or opportunity available. He hit the block hustling.

Ironically, it was while he was hustling that he discovered rap music. According to Z-RO listening to the music of Tupac, The Geto Boys, Street Military, K-Reno and Klondike Kat inspired him to hustle harder so he could one day get himself out of the trap for good. It wasn’t long before Z-RO went from listening to rap music to kicking his own little freestyles over instrumentals that he heard on the radio and deciding that he was good enough to get into the rap game.

After going through a couple of studios recording demo after demo he finally caught a big break when he was hanging out in a studio and the CEO of a local rap label heard him free styling and signed him. In 1996 Z-RO Dropped his underground debut entitled “Look What You Done to Me.” The record created a huge buzz for Z-RO who quickly followed that up with Z-RO Vs the World and King of the Ghetto as well as a record by his group the Guerilla Maab. In addition to this Z-RO also joined the late great DJ Screw’s legendary Screwed Up Click and started spitting fire on the pioneering DJ slowed down tapes. All of these things helped to escalate Z-RO’s buzz throughout the South and by 2002 his talent and hard work caught the attention of Rap-a-Lot’s founder and CEO James Prince, who offered him a deal.

In 2004, Z-RO released his critically acclaimed Rap-a-Lot debut called The Life and Times of Joseph McVeigh. The record was a huge success and helped expand Z-Ro’s massive fan base beyond the Deep South. Now with his latest album Let the Truth be Told Z-RO is poised to take the world by storm, while starting a firestorm of controversy in the process. By sticking to what he calls “the G-Code” Z-RO is telling it like it really is on the streets and letting the chips fall where they may.

Produced by a slew of the South’s hottest producers lead by the legendary Mike Dean Let the Truth Be Told stands as one of the best records that the label has released in a while. True to Rap-a-Lot and Z-RO’s tradition of keeping their music real street is the lead single entitled The Mule featuring label-mate Devin the Dude & Juvenile, a slow and nasty song that harks back to the randy tradition of the Geto Boys “This Dick is for You” jam. “For those that don’t know hitting them with the mule means fucking the dog shit outta somebody’s daughter,” explains Z-RO. Another standout track is the heartfelt song “I’m Going Platinum,” a song that displays Z-RO positive outlook on his career. While these songs help to give the album a variety it is the hardcore, take-no-prisoners attitude of songs like the title page that make Let the Truth be Told so irresistible.

“I’m gonna let the truth be told on faggot-ass police. I’m let the truth be told on these faggot-ass CEOs of these record labels, I let the truth be told on these faggot-ass niggas in the street, I’m letting the truth be told on these rappers –that’s one thing about me is I tell like it is. You can call me a label muthafucka because I put labels on muthafuckas. It’s a lotta muthafuckas rapping from the 3rd person man. They just there to talk about shit in general. Me, I’m gonna talk about some particular shit or some particular muthafuckas. If I feel like a muthafucka’s being less than a G then I’m gonna say it on my shit. That’s why I called it Let The Truth be Told.”

1114289722 - January 1, 1970 By : I'm still in shock. I.E. representer and one of my good friends Kay9ine, was killed today. There are no details on the incident, but word is that the yet to be revealed killer(s) broke into his house, shot Kay9ines mother in the head, and proceeded to kidnap him. His body was later found in the back of a car. His mother is currently still on life support. We wish her the best.

This is a call to anybody who might have further information on this incident. Please contact me immediately at nima@dubcnn.com and let me know.

The entire DUBCNN staff would like to express our condolences to 9ine and his family. For those who don't know, Kay9ine was also the brother in law of Billboard aka 4Bent (R.I.P.) from Black Wall Street.

We will run a special Kay9ine feature tomorrow. You can also read an interview I conducted with Kay9ine back in 2002, by clicking here. He had his biggest hit in 2002 with Kurupt, called "Extra'd Out" from his album "The 9ine Cocked Back". He was also featured on our very own "West Coast Unified Vol. 1" compilation on the song "I'm Back".

We will be uploading exclusive footage of 9ine, along with audio tomorrow.

Rest In Peace homie.

1114472613 - January 1, 1970 By : Thanks to Kay9ine's manager for the update on the situation. Kay9ine just woke up out of coma. He was shot twice in his back, and once in his head. The bullet is still lodged in his head, however he is looking for a full recovery.

His mother is also in stable condition and is being released from hospital soon. The sad news however is that his cousin, didn't make it, he died the same night, after being shot several times.

As we reported, 9ine was carjacked and kidnapped by 4 unknown men outside of Redlands. The gunmen proceeded to force 9ine to go to his home, which they robbed. The mother and cousin were in the house, and were shot cold heartedly. The mother however, still managed to call 9-1-1, 9ine was found around 3:30am.


Here goes the full police article:

"REDLANDS - Police on Sunday identified a gang member as the triggerman in the weekend home invasion robbery in which a Redlands man was killed and a grandmother was wounded.

Michael Lamar Rose, 23, also known as "Li'l 9", is a member of the Harlem Crips gang of Los Angeles County and is likely armed and dangerous, police said.

Rose, who is 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weighs 200 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes, is an acquaintance of Michael Denmon, 32, who was kidnapped from the house where Gerald Brooks Jr., 28, was killed, police said.

The suspect's last known address is in Pomona, police spokesman Carl Baker said, and his gang territory is thought to extend from Compton to Pomona.

"We're making an all-out effort and doing what we need to do to solve (the killing),' Baker said at a news conference Sunday evening. "We're combing Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.'

Meanwhile, Peggy Faulkner, who was also wounded in the home-invasion robbery, and Denmon remained at hospitals where police have taken steps to ensure their safety.

Faulkner, 52, who was shot at 2 a.m. Saturday in her house in the 100 block of West Delaware Avenue, was reported in stable condition at Loma Linda University Medical Center. For her protection, police have her hospitalized under an assumed name.

"They're being restrictive about who can see them (the victims) because they're afraid of repercussions,' said neighbor William Peck, 54.

Faulkner is expected to be released today, said neighbor Trina Collins. Neighbors said she probably won't return to the house and will probably stay with her brother elsewhere.

Denmon is being treated at UC Irvine Medical Center. His condition was unavailable.

The violence, which stunned the neighborhood, began with Denmon being carjacked outside of Redlands, police said.

Next, Denmon was forced to go to his Delaware Avenue home where the house was robbed, and Brooks, who neighbors say is related to the other victims, was killed.

Faulkner was shot and the suspects took her car from the house where her seven grandchildren slept. She was able to call 9-1-1.

Police said Denmon was forced to go with Rose and three other men who took Faulkner's champagne-colored 1990s Chrysler 300. Fullerton police found Denmon at 3:30 a.m. Saturday. He suffered two gunshots to the back and one shot to the head, Peck said.

"I've never heard of something like this happening in Redlands,' Peck said. "That's more for areas like Los Angeles and Hollywood.'

Faulkner's car was discovered in an industrial area in Long Beach Saturday afternoon alongside Denmon's blue 2003 Land Rover which was also taken.

Both vehicles were towed back to Redlands on Sunday and are being processed by the Redlands Police Department forensics team for evidence, Baker said.

The victim's neighbors are trying to organize a car wash and other fund-raisers to help pay for Brooks' funeral costs, Collins said.

Saturday's killing was the first homicide in Redlands this year. There have been 14 murders in the city since 1988 and in each case, the suspect was arrested or is currently awaiting trial, Baker said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective John Moore at (909) 798-7642 or Detective Chris Catren at (909) 798- 7580 or the Redlands Police Department at (909) 798-7681.

1114637068 - January 1, 1970 By : In these Days of Maybachs and Bently's, canary yellow diamonds and platinum chains, it seems that a lot of people are forgetting about the art involved in hip hop. That's where Kevin Fitzgerald aka Dj Organic steps in. He's put together an amazing documentary dedicated to the art of freestyling. Freestyle: The Art Of Rhyme explores the art form's history, rules, legendary MC Battles, taboos, social impact, and previously inexamined dementions of freestyling as spiritual and community based art form.

Documenting the freestyle scene from the early 1980's through to present day, FREESTYLE features a who's who list of seminal hip hop figures including:

Mos Def, Black Thought, Bahamadia, Freestyle Fellowship, ?uestlove, MC Supernatural, Graig G, Pharoahe Monch, Medusa, Akim Funk Buddha, Planet Asia, Otherwize, Juice, Wordsworth, Lord Finesse, Living Legends, Jurassic 5, Boots Riley of the Coup, Darkleaf, Divine Styler, The Last Poets and more.

I got a chance to see the film and I really liked the fact that it doesn't focus only on New York, it goes into great detail on how the freestyle scene started in California aswell.

The Film will be available in stores soon. Check out www.organicfilms.com for more info.

1115093043 - January 1, 1970 By : It's about to be a what?! Girlfight! As most of you know, not too long ago Miami's Jacki-O got into a fist fight with the Foxy Brown in a Miami Studio. Well, stories vary, so I won't go into what I heard. All I know is the good folks over at Poe Boy have sent us the first lyrical jab in this already physical confrontation in the form of "TKO."

Jacki talks about their altercation in the first verse. But, the beginning bars of the second verse stuck out the most.

"And if Kurupt gave a fuck about a bitch, you wouldn't hate him/You walk around frustrated hoe, cuz you ain't Kim!"

Well, I explained enough, here's the track:

Jacki-O - TKO.

1116119853 - January 1, 1970 By : The Hip Hop world has just been struck with a huge blow, Justo Faison, the founder/creator of The Justo's Mixtape Awards, has passed. According to sources, he was in driving in Richmond, Virgina, doing promotions, which ended in a fatal car accident, early Saturday morning.

I was getting my Oil changed when I got the phone call from DJ Warrior about Justo's passing. It was saddening to hear, to say the very least. I had the pleasure of meeting Justo twice when he was out here in L.A. recently. He showed me a lot of love. I thanked him for showing the West Coast love at a predominatly East Coast function. I knew, just by talking to him, he had no cares about East Coast/West Coast or anything of the sort. He wanted to see Hip Hop progress, as a whole. He will be missed.

"Justo is a person that gave me, not only business, but personal advice, as well. He made Mixtapes official to the industry. He took it to another level for a person like me, who came from nothing and had been grinding so long. I can say that I got my break, to a certain degree, because of him. The Mixtape Awards got me recognition throughout the Hip Hop world. Rest in Peace to him. My Condolences to his family. This is Big loss for Hip Hop today. He was a legend." - DJ Warrior of Cali Untouchable DJs.

As the news came in, so did the phone calls and E-Mails of people sending their condolences and speaking on this tragic news. Here's some quotes from DJ's and Artists.

"Justo made mixtapes happen, he was the one who brought the industry to love mixtapes, to get their artists out. He gave the DJ the strive to make a good mixtape, he brought the awards where the DJs would think if I made a hot mixtape and if I was consistant maybe I would win one. Justo is a legend to the DJs and a great man he will be missed. May Justo R.I.P.." - DJ Papa Smirf

"Big ups to my man Justo, the true Mixtape King. He helped make Mixtape DJ's and Artists. He was able to break down the barriers and bring together the East Coast, West Coast, South, Midwest, Reggae, Reggaeton, etc. He'll be missed. My condolences go out to him and his family." - DJ Hideo of Cali Untouchable DJs.

"Rest in Peace to one of the coolest niggas. He was a real good brotha from the streets to the corporate shit. My condolences." - Chace Infinite of Self Scientific.

"Rest in Peace to Justo. Condolences to him and his family from Strong Arm Steady. He had a great vision for Hip Hop. Furthering everything cats were doing in the U.S. and took it all over the world. Justo gave a platform, something to look for, more so than other hierarchy of award shows. He set tone for real cats in the street makin' names for themselves. From East Coast to West Coast to London. He'll be missed, gotta keep his legacy pushing and alive." - Krondon of Strong Arm Steady.

"Salutes to Justo. This is a tragic loss to Hip Hop. He did a lot for Mixtape DJs when he didn't have to. To be nominated and apart of the Award's is an honor. On behalf of all Cali Untouchable DJs. Condolences to him, his family, friends. I wish it didn't happen. Again, this is a big loss for Hip Hop. He was a Father figure. Hope to see legacy live on. Hope its like Oscar's of Hip Hop for DJs." - DJ Strong of Cali Untouchable DJs.

"In 2003, I moved to NY from Oakland, California, dead broke with dreams of making it in the DJ business. After only being in NY for a week, totally unknown, Justo reached out to me and offered to drive me around to all the boroughs and educate me in the Mixtape game. From that moment on, Justo became my homeboy. Throughout my DJ grind, whenever I had a question or problem, Justo was always ready to listen and help out. If you were real with Justo, he would ride with you no matter what. Those that didn't like him, he didn't do that industry bullshit and pretend to like them either. In 2004 I won a Mixtape of the Year Award. This was an incredible feeling. But my greatest Hip Hop moment was being nominated for a Mixtape Award in 2003, where I sat at Justo's Mixtape Awards at the plushed out Manhattan Center alongside legends like Kid Capri and Redman. At the moment, I went from being a Hip Hop fan to feeling like I was part of the Hip Hop movement - my greatest award ever. I owe all that to Justo." - DJ Vlad.

Tragic loss! I never met him personally but heard nothin' but good things about him. Justo was the pulse of the street, his Award was something that represented hard work and really what this music is: The Streets." - Balance.

"He was doing something good for the community and had a good outlook on Hip Hop. Rest in Peace." - Styles P of The Lox.

“Devestating. He had plans to do the Awards in Madison Square. That was his goal to get there. That was the hugest thing for Hip Hop. He had been working on that. He wanted the world to know what the Mixtape awards were about. Its gonna be hard to replace him. He did the most for Mixtape djs. He put money in DJs pockets. There was nothing like the Mixtape Awards. Huge loss to the Mixtape world. Its gonna be hard to do anything he ever did. He had plans to do a Justo Mixtape every week. He started it last week. He was gonna be on Rap City on May 22nd. He had a good heart. For some to recognize DJs, you have to have a good heart. Hes gone be missed and it’s a big loss he made Mixtapes commercial, nobody ever did that.” - DJ SynCity

"You can't measure what he has done for Hip-Hop on a whole. He is a big reason why we have moved 101,000 since 2001." - Annonymous Records.

Justo recently released a DVD Documentary about the Mixtape Awards. For those who never knew him and those who did, PLEASE Cop The Mixtape Documentary!!!

Let's keep the Legacy alive and keep his dream intact! R.I.P. to a true legend and great person. Dubcnn sends our condolences to Justo and his entire Family and Friends.

We will be Editing this post, adding more shout outs, as well as Pictures and Audio, over the next few days. Continue to pay attention to this.

As we brought to you first Having been recognized in the March issue of The Source Magazine, along with credited reviews and performances all over the states promoting his Independently released debut Spanish album Mi Palabra available in stores now, this is just the beginging for his quest to bring a new name to "Latin Hip Hop" and Hip Hop in general

Malverde is defined as a lyrical emcee with transcending beats with rhythms both true to form Hip Hop with Latin Flavors, along with a stage presence that sets himself apart in a class of his own that has already been making some serious buzz in the Hip Hop scene. Currently working on his highly anticipated second album featuring collabs with some of his influences none other than B-Real of Cypress Hill and Son Doobie of Funkdoobiest, This Sophmore album promises to be ground breaking and maybe, just maybe this album will take Malverde to the top of the Hip Hop world!

1116385364 - January 1, 1970 By : The world has been waiting for a new female hip hop artist to set the music game straight. She has to be able to spit raw ryhmes for the streets and still be ladylike. She must have her own unique style of fashion and image similar to Da Brat and Aaliyah. She has to be gangsta like 2Pac, but pimperish like Snoop Dogg. She will be a sexy spit-fire thug chick. We have been traveling around the world, coast to coast, city to city, state to state, country to country for the past 10 years looking for the perfect female rap artist to fill the void. Our final destination....Californ-I-A.

Allow me to formally introduce Dutchez a.k.a Dutch Da Dame.

“Hold up...! Let me make this clear! I’m the only chick running biz this year”

Dutchez (Danisha Jefferson) was born in the little town of Batesville, Mississippi. Her parents were both in the military, so she has traveled all around the world. “Every 3 to 4 years we were packing up and moving to a different part of the world, so I love to travel.” She started writing poetry at the age of 12 and 3 years later, joined the school band.

She began combining her poetry with musical scores written by for band. Now put spoken words on top of groovy instrumentals and you have Hip Hop Music. In 1997, Dutchez moved to Moreno Valley, California. “It’s a whole nutha world in California. I had to not only be book
smart, but also street smart.” After doing numerous collabs and features with local cliques, she found a home at Paper’d Up Records. Currently Da Dame is working with Dr. Stank, finishing up her album. She is also working on a mixtape titled “Fo Dem Streets”. She has been performing at clubs and talent showcases for the last 5 years struggling to be seen and heard.
“I am very versatile. I can speak knowledge to educate the youth or I can spit that raw sh&! for my people in the streets.”
The album has a variety of tracks including gangsta rap, hip hop, r&b, reggae...Music for anyone who loves music no matter the type. Dutch Da Dame will be dropping a single in late summer 2005. Dutchez is Here! “It’s about time a real b&*#! stepped up on the scene, wit California Dreams!”

Check out two of her songs below, more coming soon:

Dutchez - Get Live

Dutchez - Wanna Be Yo Friend

Shouts out to Sylvia from Platinum Queens, keep it up!

1116473769 - January 1, 1970 By : Last Saturday morning, as you all know, Justo Faison, creator and founder of The Mixtape Awards, passed. Justo was one of the few REAL people in the Industry. He helped your favorite Mixtape DJ's get to where they are today. Mixtapes were accepted by Majors now and Justo played a big role in that. He will be missed and forever remembered as a pioneer in Hip Hop!

Here's a quote about Justo from legendary Beat Junkie DJ Rhettmatic:

"I met Justo back in 97 when he was still working at Atlantic. He was always cool whenever we ran into each other at some convention. Even to this day, he was always cool. I haven't seen Justo for almost 7 years, until I ran into him at a gig in Los Angeles and he gave me a hug. He even told me that he was following my career with the Beat Junkies; I was even surprised that he actually kept up. He even offered my crew to actually submit mixtapes to his Mixtape Awards, but I joked with him about that we really didn't fit into his scheme of things and thanked him for the love anyways......He was a good man and he definitely rep the DJs. His passing will definitely be a hard void to fill."

Like I had stated earlier when I reported his untimely death, I had the pleasure of meeting Justo out here in L.A. Thanks to my partner Big Junior of RapTalk.net here are some exclusive Pictures from the King Magazine party held at the HighLands in Hollywood, as well as the Avila Brothers Release party, also in Hollywood.

1116939228 - January 1, 1970 By : In a new interview with MTV.com, Snoop Dogg stated that not only does he want to squash the beef with Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, but he's also ready to extend a helping hand out to him. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? Well it's true. On his quest to unite the West, Snoop has no limits.

Here is the full article, courtesy of MTV.com:

"Just like the title of his latest single, "Ups & Downs," so goes the saga of Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight.

As Tha Row's number one artist in the early and mid-'90s, Snoop anchored Suge's empire. Since the Dogg parted ways with Suge, though, the relationship between the two has been nasty (see "Snoop Calls Suge Knight A Bitch On Upcoming Album"). They've dissed each other countless times in public, and they even almost locked horns at the BET Awards once during an untelevised standoff between their crews.

The Dogg, however, says he's older and wiser and that he's done beefing with the man he once threatened to slap with his pimp hand. Last month Snoop organized a summit for West Coast artists called the Protect the West Conference, and the agenda for attendees such as the Game, Mack 10, Daz and Kurupt was squashing beef (see "Snoop Dogg Holds Summit To Squash Beefs, Unify West Coast"). Snoop decided it was the best place to set aside his differences with his former boss.

"Suge didn't show up," he said, "but you know, as far as we're both concerned, we don't have no problems with each other no more. We're just trying to move forward because he's trying to do business. They're trying to take him out the game, and I don't want to see him go out of the game like that because I've got love for him. He gave me opportunity when nobody else would. I'm a grown man now, so I've learned to forgive people for what they've done, for what they know not."

Snoop speaks so highly of Suge, some sort of collaboration between the two doesn't seem like as much of a pipe dream as it did even three months ago.

"I feel like I can help him like he helped me," Snoop continued. "It's just a matter of us trying to come together and me looking at the situation. You know, when you see a brother down, do you kick him or do you give him a hand? I was taught to give him a hand. So I'm just trying to help. I don't have any problem with Suge Knight, Death Row Records, more power to them. I wish them success and luck."

A spokesperson for Suge Knight could not be reached for comment.

Another huge reconciliation to come out of the summit was Kurupt rejoining the Dogg Pound Gangsta Clique. Kurupt has been on the How the West Was One Tour with his homies Snoop, Daz and Soopafly (see "Snoop And Game Beef Up Their How The West Was One Tour"), and the entire collective has been recording a full DPGC album.

"It was crazy the first couple of nights," Snoop said, "but the first song that we actually laid down, Kurupt was so hard on the song, man, he was so vicious with the verse, I didn't even want to rap on it. I was like, 'I can't match him.' He came back, his blade was so sharp. It touched me in the heart to hear him like that because I could just tell he was holding back, like, 'I gotta say this but I don't have the right scenario.' It was just a great uplifting for us to put him back into the building with us. And it helped us. Now we're on the road, we're traveling, we're doing some of that classic DPG music onstage. Just to see us all up there smiling, having a good time, interacting is beautiful."

The DPGC are about seven songs into the album, and Snoop said to also look for Nate Dogg and Warren G on the album. Snoop wants to put his latest group project out later this year but has not settled on a label yet."

1117234130 - January 1, 1970 By : According to the SOHH's YaHeard page, Fresno's Planet Asia got jacked for his chain recently at a Game concert.

Asia spoke with DubCNN about the situation and disspelled all untrue rumors. Here's what he had to say:

For all you Backpackers out there, first of all, none of the artists you are trying to compare me to are similar to me. I was born in the Projects, I grew up in the Projects. My hands been dirty. I never grew up with everything like most of these Backpack cats ya'll comparin' me to. Very few cats get their chain back when they get jacked. You really gotta be in the streets to get yo chain back.

Also, Game did not get me my chain back, I don't even know him like that. Someone affiliated with was the one who got it back. Not to mention, this was at the a Peace Conference, it wasn't at no show.

Since my first EP and the first Cali Agents album, we been holding big guns. But, that ain't the message I'm trying convey. My message is, whatever you hear from Planet Asia is Planet Asia. I'm being Planet Asia. You can't judge a man off one EP. Thats only 6 songs!

All you dickriders, stay off the chat lines. And yea, I still walk around dolo with a big chain. That made me buy a new chain to go with the old chain. And I live in South Central. If you wanna holla at me, I'm in South Central. I dont live in the Suburbs. Stop comparing me to groups who sound nothing like me. I came in the game with Street cats!!!

Planet Asia never gets punked! I never lost a fight! I never been jumped! I walks dolo!

Bottom Line: I TAKE NO LOSES!!!!

(Dubcnn Note: While the the bulk of the story was true, there were many facts that weren't. So don't always believe what you read unless its from the horses mouth.)

1117325043 - January 1, 1970 By : Brooklyn's own, Papoose, recently released his latest Mixtape with DJ Kay Slay and StreetSweepers. For those who've never heard him, he's a Monster on the mic! One of the most lyrical and clever rappers to come out in years. Which is probably why he was the Winner of the Best Underground Mixtape Artist of the Year at the Justo's Mixtape Awards, this past March.

Unforunately, as you all know, Justo Faison passed on recently. The Hip Hop community was rocked, especially the Mixtape DJ's and Artists. For his dedication to Justo, Papoose rhymed over Nas' "Just A Moment," keeping the meaningful hook by Quan as apart of his track. He big ups Justo and speaks on the importance of the DJ's in Hip Hop music. Kay Slay also speaks at the end a little about carrying on Justo's Legacy.

Check it out for yourself:

1117410502 - January 1, 1970 By : I have some new audio from Prodigy of Mobb Deep and Def Jam's newest signee Sam Scarfo, representing New Jersey. The song is called "Thug Medicine" and is a definite banger.

Incase ya'll haven't heard, Mobb Deep are close to inking a deal with 50 Cent & G-Unit. Who woulda thought? Mobb Deep & G-Unit? 40 Glocc, who's been a close affiliate of the Mobb for a long time is also rolling with them, lookout for a new joint by P & 40 dropping soon.

Anyways, here goes "Thug Medicine" for your listening pleasure, check it out below:
