We bring you an introduction to a hungry young lyricist straight from South Central, he represents what his name is, and that is Dubb. Those you picked up a copy of The Game's Black Wallstreet Journal heard a small taste of what young Dubb is capable of, and his spits left many wondering where the MC came from and what he's about. So West Coast Rydaz connected with Dubb to give you some more information on the 'hood's finest', who at only 19 years old is already turning heads.
First off is some new exclusive audio from Dubb, download the mp3s below as well as the tracks Dubb was featured on from the BWS Journal. This the first but not last time you'll be hearing from Dubb on WCR, he has some big things in the works so we'll let you know about his latest moves.

West Coast Rydaz: Let's start off with some background info on you and when you started rapping?
A nigga started rappin in like 11th grade, I'm only 19. Niggas don't really believe it because of the level I'm on, you hear me and say 'who is this nigga?' I'm coming. I grew up in South Central, I had a little rough life and I'm just trying to make it better for my family. I ain't really the type of person to have a regular job, if I'm good at something why not get paid for.
West Coast Rydaz: Talk about Hoodz Finest.
Yeah Hoodz Finest is my label. Me and a couple of my boys came up with it. We just trying to put it on the map. I been pushing it on my mixtapes. You know I pushed it on that Black Wall mixtape. With my name I'm trying to put that out there too, my label.
West Coast Rydaz: Who else is involved in Hoodz Finest?
We got Soco Raided, Lexo, my nigga Lo Pro. We got DJ Bakerman, CEO Gino Cap. We got a couple of affiliates, niggas we just hang around with, the homies. We got a couple of artists though.
West Coast Rydaz: So how did you end up on the Black Wallstreet Journal?
First of all, my nigga Gino, my manager, plugged me in with Two Teez. He's on Black Wallstreet. So he holla'd at him and he was like, 'we got to put him on something.' He brought me just like that. He called me one day and said, you going into the studio with Game. I'm like what, you serious? So Game was like you got somethin for this? I just did my stuff and now a nigga just fuckin with them. I did the "One Blood" video shoot. I got in that video "Compton" with Will.I.Am. I'm just meeting a couple of people. I'm doing hella shit I never thought I was gonna do. There are a lot of haters out there so you gotta avoid all that.
West Coast Rydaz: What do you have coming up any solo projects?
Yeah I already got 2 mixtapes out there. I put them out there myself, it ain't really out there, out there. It's in the streets a little bit. My first mixtape was "What The Hood Want, What The Streets Need", and my second mixtape was called "Let Em Know". Really I'm just writing, trying to keep my craft up in case something come up I can drop somethin on it.
West Coast Rydaz: Have you been working with anyone else on the west?
Nah not really. I just be doing my own thing and mess with the Black Wall. I get on a couple of people's projects now and then. If somebody call me to get on a verse I do it, I ain't no conceited type nigga. Anybody that want me on they tape I'm gonna get on it.
West Coast Rydaz: What producers would you like to work with in the future?
Man, you already know, coming from the west I gotta say Dre. Kanye, Pharrell, Just Blaze, it's alot of people out there I wanna work with.
West Coast Rydaz: Which song in your career are you most proud of so far? The hottest song you have to this day.
To tell you the truth, at this point I have no original songs whatsoever. I did some but that was earlier in my career when I wasn't at the level I'm on now. I just got all mixtape shit. So if a nigga get signed it's gonna be off of mixtapes right now.
West Coast Rydaz: What about mixtape songs?
Man I got about 60, 70 of those. I can't even say what's my favorite one. Everytime I get one it get better, so I can't really say this one is the best one. I never look at it like that. I never get stuck at one song cause you'll never get better than that song.
West Coast Rydaz: Who are some of the influences in the rap game?
I look at Dre, I look at Game. Ice Cube. Coming from the west, I look at a grip of westcoast people that done it and went platinum. Somebody I can really look up to. A couple of east coast cats, BIG, and 2Pac I gotta say him. It's a couple of people that influence me.
West Coast Rydaz: Can we look forward to some more collabs with Black Wallstreet?
Man that's coming. Definitely. Those is my dudes, some cool peeps. I really expect to work with them again. Another dude I wanna shout out is my nigga Jay Rock, K-Dot. Those is my dudes, Top Dawg Entertainment.
West Coast Rydaz: Anything else you'd like to the world know?
I'd like the world to know that I'm coming, expect alot from Dubb, Hoodz Finest. I'mma leave it at that, westcoast!
