It's been a hot minute since the entire DPGC clique last appeared on a record together, but history has just taken another step forward! Daz Dillinger and Kurupt appeared on Julio G's show on KDAY last night to talk about all their ongoing projects, including a "Welcome To Tha Chuuch" compilation album due out in December, and the upcoming DPGC reunion album due out next year.
To make it all official, they even premiered a brand new song from the compilation. This long awaited reunion song features the entire DPGC (Daz, Kurupt, Snoop Dogg, and Nate Dogg on the hook) and is called "Real Soon". If this line up wasn't enough, they even got super producer Battlecat to lace this laid back cut.
Sounds like the good ole days! If this sounds too good to be true, then don't wait any longer and check it out for yourself because Westcoast2k got the track available for your listening pleasure, courtesy of Julio G & KDAY.
It's that DPGC muzik! Check out the track:
» DPGC (Daz, Kurupt, Snoop, Nate) - Real Soon
And on a sidenote, Kurupt mentioned that Nate Dogg was now officially signed to Aftermath! Expect more news on this and the DPGC projects soon!

The first release under the partnership, Snoop Dogg Presents: Welcome To Tha Chuuch Tha Album, arrives on December 13-just in time for the holidays.
The album serves as a follow-up to Snoop's Welcome to Da Chuuch mixtapes, of which there have been seven volumes thus far.
The album features new music from Dogg Pound Gangsta Clique (DPGC), Nate Dogg, Kurupt, Lady of Rage, Daz Dillinger, Tiffany Foxxx, RBX, Soopafly, Half-Dead, Mira-Mira, Mykestro as well as the man himself-Snoop Dogg.
Los Angeles' Power 106 in has already begun spinning one of the new album's cuts, DPGC's "Real Soon."
Another recent venture for Snoop was the creation of the Snoop Youth Football league. By offering reduced fees, the SYFL is a youth football league aimed at kids who otherwise couldn't afford to play in other organized youth leagues.
In addition to his work in music, sports and film-notable appearances include "Training Day," "Baby Boy" and "Starsky & Hutch," Snoop is now a shoe designer as well. Earlier this year, he partnered with sneaker company Pony International to produce a line of limited edition shoes called Doggy Biscuitz

Introducing Mykestro: A New Breed Of WC Rap - May 28, 2004 By : Nima
When people think of West Coast Rap, they think of Gangsterism, violence, gang banging. That is, what most WC Rappers have stood for in the past decade. But, of course, during the whole time, there has been a Hip Hop movement on the West, with a totally different approach of things, but often got overlooked, labeled as back pack rappers, and not given a chance in the mainstream.
The rapper I'm going to present to you goes further than aiming guns at peoples chest, banging a set and representing his coast. He's a true MC. Mykestro is the younger brother of beat-making legend Battlecat. He's coming out of South Central, CA, and is eager to show the world what he's capable of.
We had the chance to catch up with both Mykestro and Battlecat to talk about the man's debut solo album "Just Due" on which he's currently putting the finishing touches on. When asked about his younger brother, Battlecat started boasting "He's my best kept secret man, matter of fact he's the best kept secret in Cali! He truly has a voice of music, he's a real musician!". He pointed out that Hip Hop has been in a drought for a good while now: "We ain't had nobody fresh in the last years! We need something like this. He has his head on straight, he's not only a musician, but also a business man. He's my official business partner on my new label that I'm putting together, he's my new accountant. He's business minded and a musical craft. That's something we need over here!"
Mykestro has been busy this past year just doing show after show, staying busy getting his name out there, getting some play on the radio, and he released his own mixtape "Drops and promo cuts Vol. 1", and appeared on the "West Coast Allstars Mixtape" aswell. When asked how he would describe himself as a artist, he said "I would say I'm absolutely universal. I have alot of versitality, and definitely not what you would expect out of L.A. I come from a musical background, MC and production wise. I'm very consistent as far as lyrics go, I'm a MC!"
Now it would seem obvious that since he's Battlecats little brother, they would really use that to market him as an artist, but that's not the plan! "We work together, we've been together since gits, but he's not trying to use that as an obvious envelope to push it. He's been really putting in work in the studio working, doing shows, he wants to do him, not ride on somebody elses coattail. He wanna prove the world what he can bring behind the mic", Battlecat said.
When asked about his influences growing up Mykesto shouts without hesitation that "Kurupt was my hero! That's my hero right there! That's who I looked up to when coming up, I always felt like he was a different type of MC, so that was my main influence from the gate. But now I listen to alot of different shit, I like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Pharaoh Monch, Ice Cube.. I like real MC's, I like Slum Village, Jigga of course, Eminem is a monster, Busta Rhymes, of course Biggie & Pac.. Yeah those are the main ones"
"To me man, Mykestro is like Jay-Z and Common Sense in one... yeah he's like the mix of the two!", Battlecat added about his brother.
Now let's get into his debut solo album "Just Due" which he's dropping. He's shooting for a 4th Quarter release if everything goes well. As for the label situation, "If the paperwork is right, I would go with a major! But if it's tons of faulty paperwork, I'm definitely gonna keep it independent". He's been recording for the album since the beginning of the year, and in contrary to most of the shit coming out nowadays, this is actually gonna look like a Solo album! He has a few features by the likes of Crooked I, Conyac, and his kinfolk Track Life, Bishop Lamont and Glasses Malone.
The production credits are very impressive too. Of course, he has Battlecat on there. "Man the shit Cat gave me, is not something you usually hear from cat. I didn't want the claps and all that. He came with something different this time around, except on one, where he came with all his funk and flavor, because I can't forget where I'm from and where I grew up!. Other producers are Raphael Saadiq, Michael Angelo, Terrace Martin, Josef Leimberg, D-Dash & Sa Ra.
We're gonna be providing you with material from his mixtape, aswell as album previews in near future, stay tuned for more news in Mykestro, because this cat is on the come up and will hopefully be a force on the West in near future!
Mykestro dropped a shoutout for all the DubCnn vistors, check it below:
