Exclusive: Blunts L.L.A. - I'm Ruthless (Audio) - August 30, 2005 By : SGV

"I'm Ruthless, I Ain't Talkin' Bout The Label, I'm A Monster Of Rap, I Was Made For Turntables"
Blunts L.L.A. is back in the studio cookin' up more of that crack music for ya'll. I was able to get my hands on a new song that he just recorded. This is not the full version, you can expect that on the his up coming Mixtape, following up his "City Of Gods" Mixtape that was released a few months ago. You should have your copy already, but in case you've came down with a severe case of narcolepsy, pick up City Of Gods at the RapTalk.net Store!
And, don't forget, Blunts will be live this Friday at Club Maya in Rosarito, Mexico with Suga Free. Join DubCNN and BYI!
Check out the Front Of The Flyer and Back Of The Flyer
Now onto the song! Tentatively titled "I'm Ruthless," Blunts spits:
"This For The Gusto / For The Mixtapes, A Must Flow / Much Respect Given, Rest In Peace The Homie Justo!"
Indeed, Rest In Peace to the true Mixtape King, Justo Faison. With the Screw-esque voice sample of Game and the gritty backdrop prodvided by Javie Lopez, Blunts provides the perfect contrast as he reps the "City of Gods" to the fullest.
Enough talking, check it out:

Charlie, Last Name Wilson - August 30, 2005 By : Rud

Charlie Wilson is a name that stands out as one of the most influential artists in the history of R&B music. Throughout the late '70s and early '80s he dominated the charts, wrote and produced four #1 R&B hits and 15 top ten hits including "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," "Outstanding," "Yearning for Your Love," "Oops Upside Your Head" and "Early in the Morning." Uncle Charlie, as he is fondly known, has also added his trademark voice to many landmark hits of the '80s, most notably "Computer Love" with his late friend Roger Troutman and Zapp.
Uncle Charlie and The Gap Band have been instrumental in defining modern day urban music. As the most sampled artist in history, The Gap Band has been used by over 150 recording artists including Mary J. Blige, Usher, Ashanti, Will Smith, Madonna and George Michael. As many of you will know in 1997, Uncle Charlie forged a relationship with Snoop Dogg, performing on Snoop's platinum "Doggfather album", singing "Snoops Upside Ya Head," "Tha Doggfather," "She Was Just a Groupie" and many others. More recently Charlie collaborated with Snoop on tracks including the smash hit "Beautiful" featuring Pharrell and the latest hit "Signs" featuring Justin Timberlake.
Uncle Charlie continues his legacy by enlisting an incredible array of talent including Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Justin Timberlake, Will.I.Am, Pharrell, Scott Storch, Kay Gee, Todd Terrill, Dre & Vidal and the Underdogs for his latest album, "Charlie, Last Name Wilson."

Snoop & Bing : "Snoop Dogg Board Company" - August 26, 2005 By : Rud

Snoop Dogg and his younger brother Bing are preparing to release a new line of skateboards, "Snoop Skateboards," under the enterprise, "Snoop Dogg Board Company." The boards are to be available through Pentagon Distribution (the distributor for Academy Snowboards, Kampus Wakeskates and shoes, and CD Wakeboard Bindings) and will see the launch of a complete line of skateboarding products, including long and short skateboards, accessories, and backpacks. The decks will be manufactured with a standard of high quality, but will have competitive prices.
"Bing Worthington, Snoop Dogg’s brother, came to us with a vision of bridging these two industries together because there is already so much crossover between skateboarding and the rap/hiphop market," says Duane Pacha, President of Pentagon Distribution. Bing explained "We are excited to work with the Pentagon group. These guys are definite hustlers in this business. We are down with skateboarding and want to get more music fans into skateboarding. Both of these should be part of everyone’s lifestyle."
Boards available to view at the Official Website of Snoop Dogg Board Company include the "Caddy," "Doggfather," "Dogg Pound," "Cartoon," "Snoopdollar" and "Pimp" series!
Bing is currently putting the finishing touches to the Lifestyle album, the group consisting him and DJ Quik’s cousin, Hit.

Sacramento's Self Confessed "Aziaddict" - August 26, 2005 By : Rud

No excuses people, get this checked out and help support the new westcoast! This time im here to introduce one half of the duo Another RAP Group, Aziaddict. A 23 year old MC with thoughts and attitude more mature than his years would indicate, a fan who became an MC to speak on social issues, politics, and the realities of life. Over the years he has put pen to paper to unleash creativity which is now being portrayed through the mic with strong emotion and a unique tone. Aziaddict has heart, a strong personality and street credibility which he hopes will serve both the "so-called" backpack audience and the mainstream needs.

Already a local celebrity with his group, Another RAP Group, he has already performed in shows ranging from High School venues to appearing on television at the San Francisco Asian Pinnacle Showcase with over 2,000 attending and 50,000 TV viewers.
I have here his latest track, which features a sample of Dr. Dre's "The Watcher", it is a rough version and not mixed down yet but you get the idea of his production and lyrical skills. He is currently 8 tracks deep into his debut solo album, "From The SOAL" which he hopes to release buy November 2005. His group Another RAP Group i mentioned earlier already has the album out called, "Aziaddict and Ospis are...Another Rap Group".

Magnificent Bout His Cash Prod. Chops (Audio) - August 26, 2005 By : SGV

"Mike Jones be runnin' game and Magnificent 'bout his cash!" - Paul Wall from "Still Tippin'"
I'm sure you heard the line. You may or may not have known who Magno aka Magnificent was at that time. But, you'll find out now. He recorded "First Round Draft Picks" with Mike Jones, which was referenced to in "Still Tippin'" as well. Now that his crew is all over BET and MTV, it's Magno's turn.
"When Paul Wall said that, I swear he never lie / All I do is rhyme a little, and my cheddar rise / You seen "Still Tippin'," that wasn't prop money / That was on the grind, CD's on the block money"
Taking a page from Mike Jones ("Back Then") and Paul Wall ("Goin' Nuts"), he uses a line from the SwishaHouse summer anthem for his latest song. Getting with Philly's Chops, Magno knocked out the banger "Magnificent Bout His Cash" with the Screwed up Paul Wall sample for the hook.
Magno - Magnificent Bout His Cash (Prod. Chops)
"I can't knock the hustle, get it how you live! / No matter what it is, keep food behind ya ribs!"

DJ Quik - Black Mercedes (ft. Nate Dogg) [Audio] - August 25, 2005 By : Nima

DJ Quik is coming back hard on September 13th with his latest studio album "Trauma". After he recently dropped "Trauma: The Mixtape" recently with some new joints, he's been buzzing on the radio with "Fandango" ft. B-Real, "Ladies & Thugs" ft. Wycles Jean and now his latest track is "Black Mercedes" and features Nate Dogg.
Personally I have to say I was starting to get tired of Nate Dogg's repetitive hooks as of late, but he really surprised me with this one. One of Nate's best performances in a long time, this song is an undeniable banger. It's being hailed as an instant classic on message boards, judge for yourself by listening to it below:

Introducing : Soul Shack - A New Breed - August 23, 2005 By : Rud

"Quit acting like Ray Liotta, Your no goodfella, not one iota, your more like a lil bottle o' soda, kinda fizzy when your open, kinda flat when its over".
Could Dusty Roze have put it any better? Some food for thought from this animated MC im about to introduce you to as part of the collective that is, Soul Shack. Soul Shack is a Multi-National, Multi-Cultural crew based out of Long Beach, California.
The group consists of Tone Blair, NDO, Fabmal, Dusty Roze & Chad Bishop. The producers of the group, Tone Blair & NDO, are Hispanic & Native American respectively and they both hail from Long Beach. Fabmal comes from Lynwood and brings a street concious flow while Dusty Roze, as i mentioned earlier, brings that animated style originally from West Palm Beach Florida. Chad Bishop got some old school sounds for you and is originally from Alabama.
Im here today to introduce you to their music and try to gather some support for a group that most definitely goes against the grain of what typifies most Westcoast Hip-Hop, and to be honest i know many of you will feel they are a breath of fresh air in a sometimes frustrating cycle of music. With a new, creative and fresh style i know some will love and some will hate, but at least try to appreciate the angle at which they approach the scene. We have the single for download along with the video for the "Ain't No Gangsta" track which i hope you will listen to and spread around, radio stations and DJ's feel free to pick this up. Tone spoke with dubcnn and said : "We defy the stereo typical westcoast hip-hop, and for that matter hip-hop worldwide. We're not caught up trying to mimic others, we're just ourselves. We are all real down to earth people, with good vibes, good music and a love for hip-hop and all music."
So check below for the "Ain't No Gangsta" single and video and look out for more audio coming soon such as "Double Deez", a solid party anthem and a track called which speaks of the desire at times to just take to the sky and escape the realities of life. There is some banging production on this release which people of all ages and backgrounds will enjoy mixed with melodic sounds and emotional and deep lyrics.

Crooked I's new video to his street single "Boom Boom Clap" is finally out and will hopefully be getting some airplay. After his first video "Still Tha Row" didn't make much noise, the Young Boss is making another attempt at breaking through to the mainstream crowd.
Ya'll know this song by now, very catchy cut. The video is pretty simple, black and white, with Crooked I, his Dynasty crew and some fine ladies. Check out "Boom Boom Clap"'s video below in .wmv format (10mb) below:
Crooked I - Boom Boom Clap (VIDEO) (10MB)
In related news, Crooked's debut album "B.O.S.S. Music" will most likely not be dropping until early next year. In the meanwhile, he will be releasing his DVD this fall. Stay tuned for more news on that.Discuss This Topic

Kurupt - Against The Grain In Stores Tuesday! - August 19, 2005 By : Nima

As you can see on the banners above and to your right, Kurupt's long awaited "Against The Grain" is actually dropping on Death Row Records this Tuesday, August 23rd. With virtually no promotion, no real single or a video, it is kind of sad to see the album coming out with no mainstream attention.
The street single is "Homeboys", featuring 2Pac and Eastwood. To me, this song is a certified banger. Eventhough it uses an old Pac verse, it seems to just fit perfectly here, and both Kurupt and East come correct.
Incase you haven't heard "Homeboys" yet, check it out below:
Kurupt - Homeboys (ft. 2Pac & Eastwood)
