It’s official Powerhouse labels like Interscope/Geffen are signing Latinos! On June 2nd, 2006, Omar Cruz announced to the world that he would be the first artist to release a record on BYI Entertainment, now that the label got a 50/50 deal with Interscope/Geffen. For anyone disappointed that he didn’t sign with Dr. Dre (though BYI has a deal with the same people giving Aftermath a deal), the Doc has been and will be close to O Dot giving him personal advice. To celebrate their signing, the Westside’s pride and joy, Omar Cruz, knocked out 14 banging tracks for his DJ Skee hosted “Album before the Album,” The Cruzifixion.With beats from in-house Producers ROME(10 tracks) and Javie Lopez (2 tracks), O snatched up a beat from Julian Bunetta, who produced for Hush; as well as another producer, by the name of Xtreme. With all original tracks, this could be considered a Street Album, more so than a Mixtape. Keeping the features to a minimum, O Dot only uses family as the guests on Cruzifixion. Javie Lopez’ artist Raw Deal (whom we introduced here and will have more on soon) drops the hook on “My World”. BYI’s in house singer J.Ortez lends his vocals on two tracks (“We Right Here” & “Let’s Go (The Show)”). Lastly, O’s right hand man, Merzevelli hops on “Cops Gang Bang,” and is the only other person to have a verse on the entire street album, outside of O.Cruz. We have two tracks for you to check out, which you may have heard but have not been able to download. As usual, we got the exclusives for you. In the tracklist you’ll find the L.A. anthem “We Rydaz.” “We pump that soft and that hard like we El Debarge to the beat of the rhythm of the City Of Gods”We then have “Cops Gang Bang” featuring Merzevelli. The ominous ROME beat and a “Screwed Up” O.Cruz voice sample set the serious tone for this ode to crooked cops.“Walk with me so you can see how these LAPD muthafuckas is living so dirty, some of ‘em claim hoods, some of ‘em still ride, some of ‘em is movin’ birdies”Check these tracks out in the Tracklisting and head over to BYIEntertainment.com to order this Street Album on Tuesday, June 6th, 2006 (6-6-6).Tracklisting:01.

It is a Mixtape... That's why it's hosted by a DJ, has drops from the DJ on it, etc. It's just formatted as a STREET ALBUM since it's ALL original music. Don't be a moron.
