IV LIFE FAMILY (June 2003) |
Written By: Lil Jay for Westcoast2k
IV Life Records are the new up and
coming label from the West Coast. With a combination of the best talent the streets
have to offer and a nurturing environment IV Life are ready to become one of the
major players in Hip Hop. IV Life's CEO Dell 'Dog' Rowels has brought together
the best array of young talent ever seen on the west coast and connected them
with veterans such as Big Tray Dee, Snoop Dogg and DJ Slip. IV Life Records are
still yet to release a major record, "VOL2: Tha New Breed" will be their
1st major/big release. It's due for release this Summer and has been pushed back
since March 2003 due to hooking up with the right Distributor. IV Life released
an Independent album in 2002 titled "IV Life Underground VOL1" which
featured old material that got bootlegged and some underground gem's like "Maintain"
by BG Knocout & Kam and "Get My Bang On" by Snoop Dogg, Tray Dee
and Too Cool. Originally IV Life were going to release the "IV Life Family
Album" as their 1st big release. But VOL1 did so well in the streets that
that they are going to release VOL2 as their 1st big release. The "Family
Album" will be released next year. IV
Life Records reside in South Central LA, on Tha Eastside. The IV Life family consists
of Too Cool, Young Buc, Tray Deee (from The Eastsidaz), J-Dog, Crisstyle, Jewell
(Formerly of Death Row Records) with former Comptons Most Wanted member, DJ Slip
