True artistic talent is rare and often overlooked in today’s highly saturated music industry. It’s always been a goal of Dubcnn to recognize and support artists from the West Coast and across Hip-Hop that are making noise both in the streets and in the industry.
Tha Crow, born and raised in Los Angeles, Ca has earned his spot in the finals in one of Rap’s biggest contests. Tha Crow was recently named the 1st Round Winner of the SRC/Loud.com contest and awarded with $25,000.
The contest which is broken into three brackets each consisting of ten rounds sees a winner selected weekly going into a pool of ten, three of which are chosen as semi-finalists for the Finals. When all three brackets have been completed, the Top 9 semi-finalists (3 from each bracket) will compete against each other in a Finals Bracket for the $100,000 and a record deal.
Omar Cruz and Goldie from The Flavor of Love show were just some of the other people in attendance.
When asked about the win Tha Crow was quoted as saying; “West West! This ain’t just another person entering the contest in hopes of winning, this is a f*ckin’ movement that’s meant to happen. Rap is what I do, this is my life, there is no plan B and I’ve been preparing ever since I began rhyming. Writing hit songs is like breathing to me; I want to be mentioned among the greats. I’m doing this for every real n*gga out there – West Coast, East Coast, Down South, Mid West…they can’t stop us if we move together.”
To showcase what Tha Crow brings to the table we have been provided with a track for everyone to download and check out entitled “Reppin’ CA” which is sure to generate some interest with its heavy hitting beat and infectious hook. You can expect to see the track appear on his upcoming mixtape “Str8 Off Da Block.”
