Since we first unleashed Watts flame spitter Bad Lucc onto our readers in 2005 things have snowballed dramatically for the up and coming artist.
From relative obscurity he emerged and instantly made the world sit up and take note; from his vocal tone to his flow, from his lyrics to his ability to craft a song – he made sure that when he dropped a track it was fresh and worthy of listeners attention.
Westurn Union, a group that he had been in with Damani for some time at this point, also started reciving attention with the “Jackin’ 4 DJ’s” series they were putting out and soon recruited a third member, Soopafly. The buzz grew stronger, the music kept getting fresher and before anyone knew what was happening the group was working on their debut album, made an appearance on Snoop Dogg’s “The Blue Carpet Treatment” and Damani inked a deal with Sony Records. Not bad for a year’s work!
While Damani and the Westurn Union as a collective continue work on their debut albums, Bad Lucc also wants to ensure 2007 is the year of his first solo outing. Since the turn of the year he has had his head down grinding out hits for his release which, although not yet titled, will be out after the Westurn Union album in the summer.
The first track we have is a THX produced banger that sees Bad Lucc getting real serious for a moment on the issues that are really effecting his life; “I cant really hit the streets cause i aint risking it all, i don’t wanna say oh sh-t but there’s chickens involved, i gotta take life slow, that was passing me by, too weak to hold my head, too much of a man to cry, on the comp all day, myspace and the blogs, i would love to get out, no money no cars, bills popping up and i ain’t made no moves, i feel sick, shit stunna must’ve took my groove, i could fall down through it, but that ain’t my style i just conjour up a way to keep making these smiles.”
The lyrics don’t get the angst he creates with his voice as he delivers these heatfelt verses and when they align with the killer hook by B.J. The Chicago Kid you really get the truth he is trying to get across.

On the second cut Bad Lucc enlists Westurn Union partner in rhyme Damani and fellow Watts native Halla [see our On The Come Up article] for a track called “Gangstas.” This high tempo, heavy bass production is by none other than Swiff D, who laced the acclaimed Pacific Division track “Women Problems” that we dropped last year, all the MC’s on this track match the hard hitting beat with equally vicious lyrics.
When asked about the track Bad Lucc told Dubcnn; “This one is just about how in Cali, we dont need a reason to do sh-t. We just go. Whether it’s shooting, fighting, whatever. We dont need a reason to do that sh-t. We from Killa Cali. Its all green light. This is more war than peace, ya dig!”
