Omar Cruz Moves Toward A National Spotlight - November 27, 2007 By : Eddie

Omar Cruz is currently hard at work putting the finishing touches on his major label debut, "The Sign Of The Cruz." During breaks from the studio, Omar is working on promoting his project, and that's what we're here to update you on today.

O. Cruz is featured in this month's "Murder Dog" magazine. We've got the entire article for you to read today, so check it out below!

After we were the first to break Omar's single "Hang With My Dogz" back in July, the West Coast anthem has steadily gained support from various radio outlets. This slow burn effect is coming to a boiling point this week as Omar and the B.Y.I. camp prepare to film a music video for the song. The video will be seen on every major outlet, including MTV, MTV2, MTV3, MUN2, LATV, and SITV. Everybody here at Dubcnn would like to extend our congratulations to Omar Cruz, LuLu, and everyone else at B.Y.I. for this major accomplishment! It's moves like these that will put the West Coast back in a national spotlight, and we're very happy to see B.Y.I. at the forefront of this new wave of success.

The video will be directed by Estevan Oriol, who is Mister Cartoon's partner. We have also received word that there will be plenty of surprise guest appearances in the video! Dubcnn will be in the house to take pictures during the shoot, so keep checking back for more coverage on the video.

If you haven't heard Omar's "Hang With My Dogz" single yet, jump on board as part of the movement and download it below.

Much props to O.Cruz & B.Y.I good to see them reppin latinos & the westcoast right. Freestyle is dope.

[SGV]

Dope. It feels great to see this happen. If there's ever been an artist that deserves this shot, it's O Dot.

[Man On The Moon]

So sick!!! Can't wait for the album to drop.


Dope ass freestyle. I love that beat.

Does anybody know when the video will be released? Also can O.Cruz fans be in the video that would be dope.

Waiting on LuLu to hit me up, and I'll ask him.

Hopefully dubcnn gets alot of good footage at the video shoot.

[Skwirm]

He's gotta drop way hotter joints than Hang with my dogs. Not feel'n that track.

[CRAFTY]

Good to hear, I need to go pick up a mixtape of his later this week.

Pick up "The Cruzifixion" if you can. That's a solid release.
And yeah, the fans were given the chance to appear in the video. There was a MySpace bulletin sent out last week or so...

[Piffmeister2008]

Thanks for the big update!

i thought that was a dope song.  It was a perfect single too.  Its street but wit a mainstream feel.

But it was released a long time ago so i dont listen to it as much.  I dont know if they should make a video for it because its kinda old already but i dont know.

It's old to us on here because we were the first ones to have it.  The general public probably hasn't heard it yet though, so it's gonna be cool to do a video.

[jointz]

There is no reason why dubcnn should not be there. O.Cruz reps the westcoast all day everyday.
