Dubcnn hooked up with Kurupt to get a few words on the Kurupt & Roscoe album, "The Frank & Jess Story", which was officially released yesterday, November 11th 2008, through High Powered Ent/Koch Records. The album was produced by J. Silva and features Daz, Kokane, Too Short, Rob Quest and Gail Gotti amongst others.
"This album was long overdue. Me and Scodie have always kept it pushing and it was about time we came full circle for a whole album. This is just the start, you can expect many more albums from me and Roscoe", Kurupt said.
Throughout the last weeks, Kurupt and Roscoe have been on a nationwide promo tour, networking and promoting the album on different radio stations. "We were out in New York, DJ Whoo Kid showed us a lot of love, everybody at G-Unit Radio, Shade 45, they fuck with us heavy. Even Kay Slay, that's my nigga! I ain't kicked it with him like that before, but I got a chance to meet him and he's a real cool cat. They all supported the project, so anything any of those DJ's need, Kay Slay, Whoo Kid, Angela Yee (Lip Service), they all support us big", he said about the duo's promo tour, which also featured 40 Glocc and Gail Gotti.
"We was just having a ball, that's what the album was about. It's conscious but fun at the same time - and all West Coast. We've got conscious records on there like "All I Need" with Daz and the one with me and Rob from the Coughee Brothaz, which is some smooth, real life shit." About the albums producer, High Powered Ent's John Silva, Kurupt had nothing but good things to say: "John really put this record together and I think people are gonna see some of his best work on there."
We already brought you two tracks off the album, "Break It Down Like" with Too Short and the introspective "I Got U", but here go two of my personal favorites off "The Frank & Jess Story", incase you need more convincing to go pick it up:
Kurupt & Roscoe - All I Need (ft. Daz Dillinger) (http://www.dubcnn.com/media/audio/kuruptroscoe-allineed)
Kurupt & Roscoe - No Time To Waste (ft. Kokane, Rob Quest & T-Mac) (http://www.dubcnn.com/media/audio/kuruptroscoe-notimetowaste)
Incase you haven't done so yet, make sure to go pick up Kurupt & Roscoe's "The Frank & Jess Story", available in stores and online now!
However, knowing Kurupt, he already has plenty of other projects he's putting together, most notably the Kurupt & DJ Quik album "Blaqkout" (spelt qk for "Q"uik and "K"urupt). This album is shaping up to be one of the most promising to drop in the near future.
"Me and Quik is next with the Blaqkout. The album is real proper, we put our foot in on this one! We're about 90% done, about two more songs to do and Quik is already mixing the tracks. This is a step above a lot of things we've done lately, Kurupt explains.
"I told Quik that people don't want too much time to go by before another Quik album comes out. He's part of the history out here and they wanna hear him! He said fuck it, let's ride out! We did a few records and he was loving it, the chemistry was there. We're both rapping on the album and Quik did all the production." If that's not enough information to get the excitement up for "Blaqkout", then I don't know what is.
Apart from that, you can also expect the upcoming Dogg Pound album "100 Wayz", a Kurupt solo album called "Street Lights" entirely produced by Terrace Martin, and another Kurupt solo produced by Snoop Dogg. "Each of these are totally different albums, none of them sound the same. Each of them got its own concept", Kurupt described his various solo projects.
As usual, you can expect the latest news on Kurupt and the rest of the Dogg Pound Gang, right here on dubcnn.

I'm not crazy about the title myself but they can call it "Carrot Top - The Album" for all I Care as long as they actually put it out and it's dope.
-
i like the idea of a Kurupt album entirely produced by Terrace Martin, but i'd like to see more signs of it actually seeing the light of the day, before i'm getting excited.
-

Where fits Snoop in the producer category? Hope that is the one that don't get released when something gets shelved.
Kurupt is really putting music out, great to hear. Curious about that new Dogg Pound album, both of them have stepped their game up.

lol, you can't really blame them can you?
the industry is dying, so more and more artists take the independent route
-
I'm definitely looking forward to Blaqkout now more than ever!
Me too!
I wonder if they'll have some major distribution or if they'll release it independently.
-
Appreciate the feedback, keep it coming!

This album could be big, I hope they get a good distributation deal, and promote it properlly. I would love to see a nice high budget video for a single, this album has potenial to be huge! Kurupt is doing it soo heavy right now! He just dropped album w/scoe, next with Quik and then 2 solos and a Dogg Pound album! Damn, kurupt is working more than ever! Cant wait for all these projects epesially the Quik album! 8) DPGC
-
i wouldn't expect this quik/kurupt album to be making any real money and i'm not really bothered either as long as it drops. i wouldn't of thought quik/kurupt would have any plans apart from some independent distribution and just getting it out there to the fans...hell there wasn't even a MV for quik's trauma lp and that was still one of the best westcoast records in years...
-
Sounds like the Quik and Kurupt album will come out just in time after i spin Frank and Jess to death!
Perfect.
Pumped for this Nima, as per others comments could we get an interview with Quik ??
-
Blaqkout cant wait
-
Really looking forward to Blaqkout. Any album with 100 % Quik production is bound to be good, but if Kurupt delivers his best effort on it too... Ooh wee.
-
Appreciate the feedback, keep it coming!
-
Can't Wait for the QK albm 8)
-
sounds to good to be true. I hope it won't end like the Fixxers project.

What's going on with that DJ Premier/Pete Rock produced Kurupt album? "Yessir" is one of my fav. songs from this year.
