Kurupt & Tangled Thoughts Team for Philly 2 Cali Album

[Damien J.]

The abundance of rock, R&B and Hip-Hop influence that flourishes in Philadelphia's underground music scene has paved the way for dozens of artists to achieve worldwide success. Philly native Kurupt may have made a name for himself in the California scene, but he has always envisioned ways to bring his East and West Coast influences together. Kurupt teamed with Philadelphia group Tangled Thoughts to bring together the best of both worlds with their new album, Kurupt Presents: Tangled Thoughts Philly 2 Cali, due for a May 22 release on Good Hands Records.

In the Spring of 2005, Tangled Thoughts members Tek, De and Cas hooked up with legendary Dogg Pound Gangsta member Kurupt. After working on a number of projects together, Kurupt was extremely impressed with the trio, and convinced them to take their act to Los Angeles. In the Fall of 2005 they did just that, hoping to follow the same "Philly 2 Cali" route to success Kurupt enjoyed in his storied career. "Kurupt is from the generation that we look up to, and we grew up listening to his classic albums. He’s bringing the young boys up and showing us the ropes,” explains De.

DJ Truth, Good Hands Records CEO, echoes the sentiment. "Being able to work with Kurupt on breaking a group as talented as Tangled Thoughts has really been an exciting experience," Truth says. "Kurupt has contributed so much to Hip Hop already - it really says a lot about the group that he wanted to help make this happen. At the end of the day though, the music speaks for itself. It is not an accident that so many respected Philly and Cali artists wanted to be involved."

Philly 2 Cali boasts an all star line-up of guests, which includes Freeway, Roscoe, Sen Dog of Cypress Hill, Mellow Man Ace, Gillie Da Kid, Ab Liva, Gail Gotti, Natasha Ramos and more. In addition to his creative input on the album, Kurupt lends his surefire delivery on six tracks. "This album is bringing the feel and vibe of the West Coast and mixing it with the swagger and lyricism of the East Coast," explains producer/emcee Tek. "I wanted to break up the monotony and pigeon-holing, and make an album that you can put on anywhere, and can play it all the way through and everyone will feel it."

Tangled Thoughts have made two of the tracks available, "Til Tha Sun Comes Up" featuring Freeway and Rok Bottom on the Philly side, and "Jumpoff" with Kurupt and Roscoe on the Cali side. You can hear both songs at www.tygereye.net/kuruptpresents
