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”

both tracks are nice.. i didn't realise this was gonna be a street-album, I expected a real short tape of around 6-8 tracks.
will HipHopWest stock this?

Nice tracks don't really like that the hooks on both the tracks are previous verses but still tight song and I'll fasho be coppin this album.
-
Even though I'd love to, I'm not gonna listen to those preview tracks. I'm gonna buy the mixtape off of Hiphopwest.com (if they have it in their stock tomorrow, that is) and listen to it after my exams (June 16th) so I can fully enjoy it :)
Props on the update! Btw, when are the pics from the conference coming? And how come you won't be dropping that update about Cruz' Rosarito concert anymore? Is it because it's already several weeks old? If you'd ask me, that would still be some good exposure for Omar if it goes on Dubcnn's newspage...

LOL @ You hurt. 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.

-
Both tracks were nice.
-
I'd like to shout out XXLMag.com for actually citing us as the source for their O.Cruz news. Shouts to every other site that copied and pasted my story (changing a few words) and jacked the links of the tracks to put on their own sites.
-
At first I was kinda disapointed that he didn't sign to Aftermath but after thinkin about it this was probabaly a very good move. Aftermath is hella crowded right now with a lot of people still needing to drop an album. Plus it looks like Dre is goin to be advising him so that's a good thing. Hopefully Dre drops a couple of beats on Omars album.
-
^Think of it this way: He's signed to the people that signed Dre, Em, 50, Game and Snoop... BYI has a great deal. Think Roc-A-Fella. O.Cruz is in a good situation. He's able to use his own producers and has Dre in his corner now.

I don't listen to Mexican rappers neither and I'm Mexican. Trust me though this dude is nothing like Lil Rob or those other cats this guys a spitter.

Are you serious? You've never heard O.Cruz (who's only half Mexican by the way). You've never heard Psycho Realm or Sick Symphonies. You ain't really up on game homie. You've heard a handfull of Mexicans on the mic, if that.

Trust me, this cat ain't nothin like those wack pocos pero locos rappers. This dude is a real lyricist and can spit.
-
^ what's the other half Columbian?
-
Wtf...."all the black kids I have to blast" ... wtf is that, I ain't supportin this shit
-
"Latin Jay-Z, Mexican Pac, Columbiano B.I.G."
You want Latino dudes from the West that spit, holla at your O.Cruz', Sick Jacken, B-Real, Raw Deal, O.Brown, Sinful, I-Man, Stamina, etc. Cat's don't know. Think everything is Cholo Rap and shit.

Is Merzevelli latino?
-
Yea. All of BYI is pretty much Latino. LuLu, Omar, Rome, J.Ortez, Merzevelli. Even their affiliates like Javie Lopez and Raw Deal are Latino. Noe Dout and Skee are really the only dudes who are in the mix with the squad that aren't Latino.
-
WELL I LIKE LIL ROB ........I ALSO LIKE OMAR CRUZ ..............
BUT THE BEST MEXICANS RAPPER IS SICK JACKEN .......HE WILL MURDER ANY MEXICAN MC

Yeah, I'm also glad that he didn't sign to Aftermath. Are you 100% sure that he'll be able use his own producers for his debut album? That would be a nice gesture from the execs at Interscope/Geffen if they gave him that kind of freedom.
-
looking forward to hearing this whenever I can get it.
