West west y’all. You know who it is, no need for a proper introduction… This being my first update on dubcnn, I’d like to take the time to introduce you to Immense.
The South Central rapper is one of the most sought after rap artists to come out of the West Coast since the Game. He has already established himself as one of the most compelling and accomplished artists to come out of the Los Angeles hip hop scene in recent years. He’s worked hand in hand and has been mentored by some of the West Coast’s most legendary artists.
Exclusively handpicked by Kurupt, he’s also been schooled over the years by legends such as rap artist CJ Mac, super producers Tone Toven, Battlecat, and DJ Uneek.
While the world waits patiently for his full length debut solo album (in which he has recorded songs with the likes of Kurupt, Petey Pablo, Yukmouth, etc.), record labels have already began negotiating. As of today, 5 record labels have already entertained offers for signing him, including Capitol, Death Row, Get Low, and Rap-A-Lot.
Immense offers a small sample of what is to come from him with the release of his new mixtape "Kurupt Introduces Immense: Protect the West Mixtape Vol. 1" Hosted by DJ AE. This mixtape is 100% free and will be available as a free download here on Dubcnn. Immense appears on 3 of the tracks from this West Coast inspired mixtape compilation that also features Kurupt, C-Bo, Yukmouth, Jayo Felony, Snoop Dogg, Too Short, King T, Hittman, Layzie Bone, Bosko, Messy Marv, Yukmouth, and many more. The 3 songs that Immense appear on are mostly unreleased tracks from his archives, but offers a solid background for the fans who will be able to see the evolution of this artist between now and the time his major label album gets released in 2006.
The "Protect the West Mixtape Vol. 1" will be available February 1st.
