Another week has passed, which means it’s time for another Weekend Audio update on dubcnn! We have several goodies for ya’ll this time around, including a new Game track off “YouKnowWhatItIs Vol. 5“, a Nate Dogg collaboration with Bozak Black Sox, a new solo joint by Billy Danze of M.O.P. and more.
Let’s jump right into it with a The Game and his new artist X.O., who is none other than the artist formerly known as Scipio. He dissapeared for a minute and is now returning as a part of the CMC (Cali Murda Crew) on Black Wall Street under the name X.O..
To get a first taste of what you can expect, check out “I Dare You“, a new collaboration between Game and X.O., off the upcoming “YouKnowWhatItIs Vol. 5” mixtape coming soon:
The Game – I Dare You (ft. X.O.)
Next up is a track by the Bozak Black Sox aka Bozak Trybe, a West Coast ensemble consisting of Doe-Boy, Rhyme Slik, & Coolie High. They hooked up with Nate Dogg for their new single “Life“, produced by Lab Ratz. No word on whether this was recorded prior to Nate’s stroke or not. What I do know is that this is a certified banger and not to be slept on – Nate at his finest! It’s off the new mixtape “Get Da Bozak Vol. 1“, check it out:

Let’s get to Tha Crow, the Loud.com $100,000 contest winner from Los Angeles, who beat out 9 finalists and over 20,000 tracks submitted. He got his check handed to him live on Power 106 this past week, and with his new record deal on SRC/Universal Records, he’s eager to start pumping music out there. He’s got a street single out there called “Dippin’ Low Lows” which we have available for you to check out:
Tha Crow – Dippin’ Low Lows
We have a new joint by Billy Danze of M.O.P. called “Savages” that’s fire. The high energy production uses the same sample as the Madlib produced Talib Kweli track “The Show“. This keeps us hoping for a new M.O.P. album or solo projects from Lil Fame and Billy Danze. The duo also recently appeared on “Freestyle 101” over at g4tv.com to drop a few verses, check that out by clicking here.
Billy Danze – Savages
Next we have a new track by Bay Area rapper Ya Boy. It’s called “Wide Open” and is off the “Black Wall Street Radio Pt. 4” mixtape by DJ Haze and Nu Jerzey Devil. However, the version on the mixed was not mixed and mastered yet, and the producer of the track Infra Red just sent over the final mix of “Wide Open“, which you can download below. Ya Boy’s latest mixtape “I’m Bout To Murdah This Sh-t” with Digital Product also got reviewed in the latest Source magazine issue with Game on the cover, check that out here.

Last, but not least is something for all the smooth jazz lovers. I’m talking about an instrumental track off jazz musician Norman Brown‘s latest album “Stay With Me“. The track is a collaboration with Seattle producers Dow Jones and J-Hen aka Tha Bizness. They produced the track, while Norman Brown plays the guitar on it. If you’re looking for some relaxing sounds to chill to, it doesn’t get any better than this:

Before we go the dubcnn staff would like to say Happy Birthday to O’Shea Jackson aka Ice Cube, who turned 39 today!
