Some may debate if Hood is one of the most lyrical artists to come out of San Diego in the past decade but few can question Daygo’s self proclaimed “24 Hour Hustla” as he gears up a big second half of 2008.
Hood has been locked in the studio working on his upcoming album “The Movement” for much of this year. The album is slated to feature artists including Crooked I, Glasses Malone, Sly Boogy, Mr. Porter, Smig Dirtee, Mitchy Slick, One-2 as well as members of his Bloc Runnaz and 4Squad camps.
In the build up to that release he has been working around the clock to complete a series of projects such as DJ Vlad’s “Barz Out Volume 1” mixtape [covers pictured] that showcases the hottest verses from Lil Wayne, Crooked I and of course Hood. We have one track that is set to feature on that for download below.
Hood – Real Estate (Feat. Broadway and Smigg Dirtee)
