Omar Cruz, Rome, & LuLu: "The West Coast Grind" - April 15, 2008 By : Eddie

It's Tuesday, so that means we're back with another edition of Dubcnn's radio show that's got everyone talking: "The West Coast Grind" with Young De & Eddie. This week, we reached out to one of the most promising record labels in the industry, B.Y.I. Entertainment, and we got Omar Cruz, Rome, and B.Y.I. CEO LuLu to drop by the show as our guests.

This is an exciting week, since we've got an MC, a producer, and an industry executive on board to truly give you all angles of "The West Coast Grind".

In addition to discussing his latest records like "Gangsta Music" with The Game, "Hang With My Dogz", & "Born & Raised On The Westside", Omar speaks about being overlooked both as a Latino and as a West Coast artist. He tells us more about his debut album "The Sign Of The Cruz", and also goes into his future goals as an artist.

Rome talks about his compilation "Welcome To Rome", which will be dropping for free download on April 22nd. You'll get to hear a couple of records from the project, and Rome will tell you more about his production style along the way.

LuLu discusses the B.Y.I. movement, his vision for the label, and his motivations for forming the company. He also walks us through a typical day in his life as a record label owner.

All of this and much more is on this week's edition of "The West Coast Grind". Whether you've been curious to see what the B.Y.I. movement is all about, or you're a die hard fan already, you'll be in for a treat. Download the podcast below!

I listened to this at work today. Damn cool you got the whole core trio of BYI on the same show. Looking forward to that "Welcome to Rome" project, dude is without a doubt one of the hottest beatmakers out there.

[HimselfTheMajestic]

the one track i heard seemed pretty on point, the other ones were kinda lacking though. still gonna peep this. Omar has good presence on the mic.

am i the only one who thinks he should get on a track with Aztek ?

[dubc4life]

Good interview eddie. Looks like B.Y.I has there game plan & they doing what they want to do & they doing it the right way. Looking forward to more from B.Y.I & can't wait to listen to "Welcome to Rome"

[Ese Torsido]

It's official - I absolutely love "Deja Vu." Really hits me in the heart, no lying. Thanks for playing that one, Eddie. Quite unexpected.

Rome had some heaters in the driver's seat. Will be looking forward to listening to his album soon.

P.S.: Ask him what kind of Spanish songs he uses on his records. Like, does he use Camilo Sesto, Leo Dan, Pasteles Verdes, Yndio and those dudes from the 1960's-1970's. Could have sworn the sample used in Conejo's performance sounds familiar.
