(http://www.dubcnm.com/artistimages/terrace_martin02.jpg)When you listen to the heavyweights of the West Coast, Snoop, Quik, Kurupt, they have one thing in common, Terrace Martin. Martin has carved a place out in the West and elsewhere as well, as one of the top producers of his generation. We got to sit down and talk to him about his upcoming project with Kurupt "Street Lights" and his "808 and Saxbreaks" an unusual take on the Kanye West album.

Dubcnn: Cool. So you got this really great album you just put out, and I know your always busy, you always got projects going on. What’s your next project that you got coming up that’s gonna be big? I heard you got something with Kurupt?
Terrace: Kurupt has an album called Street Lights coming out, on 4/20. I guess that’s national smoke day, 420. Yeah I don’t smoke so, 420, April 20th; he has an album called Street Lights, which I produced about 95% of the album, mixed the whole album, which is excellent. Kurupt is back, he sounds great.
Dubcnn: So tell us about that project. I know you were involved heavily in the Blaqkout thing, I interviewed them for Blaqkout, and they couldn’t stop talking about you. So tell us about that, what’s it gonna sound like?
Terrace: New. It’s gonna sound like it feels so familiar, but it’s so new. Does that make sense to you?
Dubcnn: Yeah.
Terrace: No does it really make sense to you? Like you know when you hear something and it’s like, I heard that before, but you really haven’t but it feel like you’ve heard it before? That’s what this Kurupt album sounds like. All I did was I produced a Kurupt album from a fan standpoint. I picked up where Streets Is A Mother left off. I didn’t pick up where Space Odyssey, Space Boogie? I don’t know I picked up where Streets Is A Mother left off, creatively, and just made it new. Even him, he sounds brand new, It’s amazing. He’s not the same Kurupt, he’s not in the same space. It’s a fun thing.
interesting, it seems like he's saying Kurupt fell off after Tha Streetz is a mutha.
Dubcnn: So you’re working on his new album, the follow up to Malice In Wonderland. What can you tell us about that, without telling us too much obviously?
Terrace: I think the more mature Snoop gets as an artist, 'cause you never stop maturing as an artist, you always a student. I think the older he gets, it’s funny, to me it gets doper and doper. I think you’re just gonna get another segment of him just being doper and doper on his album. I’m heavily involved in his album, actually a lot more than the last album. J-Black he know, excellent songwriter and all that stuff with Snoop and everything. This album we plan to take it by storm, me and Problem, me and Problem, J-Black, Wild Jones and Tone Treasure, we planning to take this next Snoop album by storm. Like a new sound, but it still sounds familiar, that’s the whole thing, And kudos to DJ Quik, he taught me that. You wanna get a good record that everybody loves? Make it sound so new but yet like it’s been heard before. That’s a hit record.
:-\ with Snoop it actually depends on what he wants to accomplish.
Terrace Martin could bring the best out of Snoop
