As previously reported, Dogg Pound Gangsta Kurupt has been preparing the release of his new mixtape “Tha 4:20 Mixtape – Prequel To Streetlights”. As the title says, this is the prequel to his fourth solo album entitled “Streetlights“.
“Streetlights” owes its thematic content to the silent sentinels that illuminate roads and corners in every neighborhood and the stories they would tell if given the proper medium. ‘I was looking outside at the streetlights just leaming,‘ Kurupt explained the album title. ‘My whole life was just passing me by and the streetlights were just passing me by. There’s so much real life footage that you would capture — all kinds of stuff passes by one light. Each one, if they had a camera, would depict a different aura of life” he continued.
“Streetlights” features a more reflective Kurupt backed almost entirely by the musical talents of versatile up-and-coming producer Terrace Martin and is rounded out with production by Pete Rock and Lil’ Jon. Features include appearances by Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Problem and DJ Quik. What results is a body of work more profound than any of the rapper’s previous works.
“Streetlights” is set to drop April 20th on Kurupt’s own Penagon Records along with Fontana/Universal Records.
To get you in the mood for the album, Dubcnn now has the “Tha 4:20 Mixtape” for free download:
