G-Unit rapper Spider Loc is preparing a variety of projects as he records upcoming debut album titled West Kept Secret.

The album, which is slated for a 2007 release date, features Young Buck, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube and 50 Cent, as well as production from Sha Money XL, Scott Storch Hi-Tek and others.

While Spider Loc's major label debut is being produced, he has gained a loyal fan base by releasing a number of mixtapes, including a recent MixUnit.com collaboration titled Connected with West coast legend DJ Felli Fel and an upcoming Gangsta Grill mixtape with Philly's DJ Drama.

"I'm just trying to make the most quality album I can make," Spider Loc told AllHipHop.com. "It's been a long time coming and there's no need to put a half a** effort out there, so we are cooking it up. It's gonna be the best of the West."

Last week, the South Central native took a break from recording West Kept Secret to star as a character named "Gangster" in an upcoming episode of The WB's dramatic series Cold Case.

"I only have one line on the show, but it's a good start for me," Spider Loc told AllHipHop.com. "[But] I am taking acting serious. I just finished shooting a full length feature film entitled Parole, which costars Master P and Cedric Thomas," Spider Loc told AllHipHop.com.

Parole, a drama/comedy, was shot on location in Compton and South Central, Los Angeles. The flick was lensed by Sal Martino, who edited Master P.'s 2006 comedy, Repos, as well as Larry Elder's 2004's DVD, Michael & Me.

"My character goes to prison quite a bit," Spider Loc revealed. "It's about a woman who has a bone to pick with me. After 15 years of wanting to be next to me, she finally has me in her house, when I am paroled through a prison ministry and she tries to kill me."


West Kept Secret and Parole will be released in 2007.

Good to see he's active, but before even considering an acting career, he should first make sure his career as a recording artist takes off.

Snoop and Cube ? Interesting.

Hell never release an album on GUnit though.

[Sanford - V. President of the Dangerous Crew Movement]

damn, is he really thinkin about releasing an album?

he actually has a good buzz in S.Cal?  because for sure in the Bay down to Sac, nobody gives a fuck about spider.

[Meho]

Why would anyone give a fuck about him if hes not being promoted at all right now. When/if his album drops than you can tell who gvies a fuck about him.

He has 2 or 3 non promoted mixtapes, sort of like Game had before GUnit radios. When the GUnit radios kick in, thats when you start getting some attention.

BTW its obvious thats hes never gonna release an album on GUnit, Im just talking about mixtape promotions in general.

Acting Career  this cat is a actor he's acting as a rapper in real life

[westkoastanostra]

 he has gained a loyal fan base by releasing a number of mixtapes

What loyal fan base...?

[d-nice]

50 is gonna have a hard time marketing him. He would have to either do all the hooks or appear on almost half the album for this to sell. It would almost be a 50 solo album. I really wish he would sign Ras Kass and get him in the studio with Dr. Dre.
