Post by: CRAFTY on March 30, 2006, 09:26:32 AM: ^^^^That's good...I'll be on the look-out.

I think this means that it will be a gift & a curse for him: a gift because he'll have major exposure (if everything goes as planned); a curse because most likely he will be put on a waiting-list since there are other Aftermath artists waiting to drop (Bishop will come first).

Hmmmmmm, of course he won't have to worry about the money he'll earn, but I just hope he won't have to sacrifice too much of his own style in order to appeal to a mainstream audience.

Believe it that whereever Omar is going, he'll keep his creative control. That's a fact.

Have you heard his follow-up mixtape "Blow"? That shit impressed me quite a bit...lyrically he's on a higher level than most up-and-coming West Coast MC's.
On a side note: I tried to buy City of Gods through HipHopWest.com about a month ago but everytime I wanted to make the payment via PayPal, there was an error. PayPal kept asking me to re-enter my e-mail address & password. As a consequence, I still don't have City of Gods >:( >:( >:(
Title: Re: OMAR CRUZ GOES TO AFTERMATH
Post by: SGV on March 30, 2006, 09:39:11 AM: Have you emailed them?
Title: Re: OMAR CRUZ GOES TO AFTERMATH
Post by: CRAFTY on March 30, 2006, 09:42:53 AM: Yeah I've e-mailed PayPal (since the error appears on their page, not the one from HHW.com), but their feedback didn't exactly match my problem.
I've e-mailed LuLu to ask whether BYI ships to European residents but so far (after 3 weeks) I still haven't got a reply yet.

city of gods is all i have, i got that from hiphopwest.com through paypal with no problems. I didnt not like it, i just thought it wasnt anything special maybe i need to give it a few more listens.
Title: Re: OMAR CRUZ GOES TO AFTERMATH
Post by: SGV on March 30, 2006, 09:47:00 AM: Just e-mail Hip Hop West. BYI isn't shipping internationally right now. E-Mailing LuLu right now will result in a late reply. Dude is extremely busy.

Omar Cruz aka Blunts LLA To Aftermath? Interscope? - February 1, 2006 By : SGV

The next to blow in 06, Omar Cruz aka Blunts LLA has been taking the industry by storm as of late. All his hardwork and grind seems to be paying off now. I've heard some serious talk from a few industry insiders that O.Cruz may very well be heading to Interscope or it's mainstay imprints, Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records or Eminem's Shady Records. Now, I'm sure most of you are probably thinking "Yeah... Everyone's signing to Aftermath."

But these rumors are strongly supported by Blunts appearing in a video with Detroit artist, Hush, a few months ago. The song features Nate Dogg on the hook and the Shady CEO, Eminem, on the beat. Being that Blunts is obviously in close contact with Hush, it, in a sense, reaffirms the rumors as to where he'll be signing.

Of course, these are only rumors, but who knows exactly what might happen. Remember where you heard it first! Your voice of Hip Hop... Dubcnn!

Check the Hush video, you'll see O right next to him throughout the video.

MC Hush - Hush Is Coming

Post by: Intriago33 on March 30, 2006, 10:01:27 AM: i didnt even know Blunts 6 months ago til dub introduced him, then that Blow tape killed it.
& he's down with Joker Brand ;D
Title: Re: OMAR CRUZ GOES TO AFTERMATH
Post by: SGV on March 30, 2006, 10:06:32 AM: We introduced him well over six months ago! But yea... O been down with Joker Brand since he was on that other label.

Blunts LLA - November 29, 2004 By : SGV

Blunts The Latin Lyrical Assassin or just plain Blunts LLA has apparently got a spot on the up and coming DJ Whoo Kid Mixtape. Blunts is an emcee out of South Central and has been putting in work, in the Hip Hop scene, for years. I'm pretty sure a lot of you have slept on him, but it's time to wake up. He's worked with Battlecat and Jellyroll and he was featured on The Ollin Project, the Pass The Mic DVD and was on the Pocos Pero Locos 2004 Tour and CD along with Diamonique, Monteloco and others. Here's the song that will be on Whoo Kid's tape, "Here Comes Blunt LLA". Here's some other tracks: His version of the Juvenlie, Wacko & Skip's "Nolia Clap" entitled, "Cali Clap". "Step Into The Sun" is his track from the Ollin Project. And finally here's "Hold You Down" and "West Coast Joker".

Shouts to BYI Entertainment for posting the info on our forum.

On a side note, don't forget to register for the Latin Rap Conference 05. Register now!!

November 04... The first story we ever ran about Blunts.

Title: Re: OMAR CRUZ GOES TO AFTERMATH
Post by: CRAFTY on March 30, 2006, 10:46:37 AM: L.A. Wolves is one of my favourite O. Cruz songs. I'm telling you, you really need to check out that song. In fact, the entire Blow mixtape is a banger front-to-back.
This is a more recent song (premiered on DJ Skee's Westside Hype Radio about 3 weeks ago, when O. Cruz was a guest in the show). It's called Supernatural:

Title: Re: OMAR CRUZ GOES TO AFTERMATH
Post by: Ozir on March 30, 2006, 10:54:54 AM: I agree... outta those four tracks... L.A. Wolves is the best. The beat is nice. The other tracks didn't really "hit" me.

Hopefully some more good music comes from this.

Post by: Dubz on March 30, 2006, 03:22:23 PM: ^i think blunts will have a javie track or two on his aftermath debut. the only thing that makes me worried though is that hes signed to aftermath so his album might be mad late/ never come out. hopefully itll come out in 6 months. great news for blunts.
Title: Re: OMAR CRUZ GOES TO AFTERMATH
Post by: SGV on March 30, 2006, 03:31:49 PM: He'll still be fuckin' with everyone he does now: Rome, Javie Lopez, Merz, Dow Jones, Skee etc. Look for O.Cruz on some features coming soon.

Post by: T-Dogg on March 31, 2006, 12:55:10 AM: Props to Blunts for this. He deserves it. Though you always gotta remember that although they do quality music, they sure take their sweet time at Aftermath and sometimes nothing even comes out.

But fuck all that, focus on the positive. Go Omar, go! 8)
