news Merciless aka Merc100Man Ft Baby Bash "Cool Tonight" - By : Nima - April 20, 2012

If the name Merc100Man doesn’t ring a bell, then maybe Merciless of the pioneer group Funky Aztecs does. As the chief architect behind the group, Vallejo rapper Merc debuted in 1991 with “Chicano Blues”, which featured collaborations with the legend 2Pac Shakur (watch the video to "Slippin' Into Darkness") and Digital Underground. Between ’91 and ’99, the Funky Aztecs released three albums together, blending the gangster mentality with the militant mindstate carried by artists such as Tupac, Ice Cube and Scarface.

After the last Funky Aztecs album, Merciless joined the all-star super group Lone Star Ridaz, along with fellow Vallejo artist Baby Bash, South Park Mexican as well as producer Happy Perez (Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, Juvenile). The group released two albums, “Wanted” and “40 Dayz / 40 Nightz”.

After releasing two solo albums, Merciless was arrested in 2008 for possession of marijuana in Texas and began serving a two-year sentence in 2010. Now, after almost two years in prison, he is back on the scene and ready to get back in the game. He has three albums locked and loaded, the first one being “Déjà Vu – Volume 1”, set for an April 24th 2012 release date.

Déjà Vu – Volume 1” features production from platinum producer Happy Perez, along with appearances from Baby Bash, Frost, Jay Tee, Don Cisco, South Park Mexican, Latino Velvet, Lawless and fellow Funky Aztec member Indio. The album will be available in stores and on all digital retailers on April 24th 2012.

He started off Making Music with his high school friend/producer Carlos Los Ramirez - who Dubcnn readers will recall produced Cruzin' for Damizza and Butch Cassidy - who introduced him to Damizza.

He also featured in Tapwire Magazine’s “Unofficial” Madden NFL 10 soundtrack and right now is working on a debut album as well as a project with Damizza.

Today we are dropping off our first track from Fresh that is said to be from his project entitled "At the Studio (We Just Havin' a Ball)" featuring Butch Cassidy over production from Will Power for Baby Ree Productions.

The track, which features additional keys by "Jedi" Jared Moore and is engineered and mixed by Damizza was recorded at Area 51/Burbank, Ca, & Grannies House Of Hitz, Santa Barbara, CA with mastering by Sjoko Koppert @ Tantrum Studioz. Check the record below.

news The Jacka "The Sentence" May 8th + "We Out Here" Video - By : Rud - April 17, 2012

It's been sometime since we last updated you on Bay Area veteran and underground legend The Jacka of The Mob Figaz. In 2012 Jacka teamed up with Andre Nickatina to release their duo EP "My Middle Name is Crime" and we presented the title track's video on Dubcnn, if you missed it check My Middle Name Is Crime now. Then last year he was working on adding to his already stellar record as an independent artist with a new 3-Disc set of albums. He's already sold over 500,000 records independently and amassed a cult following that spans from the west coast to the midwest.

He’s won Bay Area music awards and been consistently relevant since the mid 90s but with all his acclaims and accolades he had never released a 3-Disc set!

The plan had been to release the 3-Disc package under 3 titles; "The Indictment" followed by "The Verdict" and then "The Sentence" - on Tuesday, September 27th featuring a host of his musical peers including Freeway, Erk The Jerk, The Mob Figaz, C-Bo, Royce Da 5'9 as well as many more.

On September 27th 2011 "The Indictment" was released via iTunes - featuring the single All We Do (Remix) with Laroo and J Stalin - before on January 17th 2012 "The Verdict" hit iTunes.

On May 8th 2012 the final instalment "The Sentence" will drop and we have a video for the track "We Out Here" for you to check out below.

news Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg & Tupac @ Coachella 2012 Photo + Video - By : Rud - April 16, 2012

Unless you've been living under a rock the last few weeks or even just today then you will know that last night, Sunday April 15th 2012, the long awaited and hugely anticipated US stage reunion of Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg took place as the finale to the first weekend of the Coachella Music and Arts Festival drew to a close.

The anticipation and hype over the performance was at fever pitch as the curtain drew on the nights performance but few could have expected what unfolded as the two icons were reunited with another...Tupac.

The slain MC was resurrected via the power of modern technology to appear via hologram in front of the packed out 75,000 strong crowd. The shock of the audience was quickly moved to energy as he delivered "Hail Mary" before Snoop Dogg appeared alongside him in the flesh to perform "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted." The holographic tecnhology was done in a way that made the duo seem to be interacting as they had on stage together more than 16 years previously.

It had been rumored in the build up that Nate Dogg - who died a little over 12 months ago - would appear as a hologram, however TMZ; who spoke with Daz Dillinger, explained that the decision was made at the last minute not to use him and to do a video tribute instead with Kurupt and Warren G paying tribute during the posse cut "Ain't No Fun."

Countless sources have reported that AV Concepts - who were behind the technology that brought Tupac back to life in Hologram form - said that Dr. Dre had the vision for the hologram and worked with them for months on the idea, paying a figure believed to be between $200-400,000 himself.

Afeni Shakur - Tupac's mother who is notoriously protective of her sons image rights and estate - gave her blessing to the idea while Dr. Dre also donated to The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation.

After the Tupac performance Dre and Snoop rocked the huge crowd with hit after hit before welcoming to the stage countless artists from across both their careers including Eminem [for "I Need a Doctor," "Forgot About Dre" and "Till I Collapse.], Wiz Khalifa [for "In the Air Tonight/Young, Wild & Free"], 50 Cent and Tony Yayo [for "What Up Gangsta," "P.I.M.P. (Remix) and "In Da Club"] and Kendrick Lamar [for "The Recipe"].

Combined with the former Death Row inmates the duo showcased a combined career span of well over two decades of constantly evolving, constantly relevant material.

We have images from the show, courtesy of the LATimes as well as video of the Tupac Hologram & Snoop Dogg performances below - enjoy and spread the landing page link!

news Throwback: Unreleased 2007 K.Dot (Kendrick Lamar) Interview - By : Nima - April 12, 2012

It's not without a reason that Hip-Hop's new hope, Kendrick Lamar, refers to Dubcnn.com as his "day one" site. We have followed Kendrick since the first days of his career, [First Update] when he was rapping under the moniker K.Dot and was working on his debut mixtape, "Training Day".

Today, we have a special "blast from the past" throwback video feature. The date is February 2007, in a recording studio in Los Angeles where we first met the Top Dawg Ent crew. At that time, TDE was only Jay Rock and K.Dot, the camp was buzzing as Rock's street smash "Lift Me Up" was in heavy rotation.

K.Dot was a few weeks away from the release of the "Training Day" mixtape and It also seems like Top Dawg Ent had a situation with Def Jam at the time?

In this unreleased interview, K.Dot tells us about trying to get his name out there, using the internet as a promotional tool and what him and Jay Rock are doing to separate themselves from other artists coming out.

He also talks about the "Training Day" mixtape, working with The Game, which artists he was feeling at the time and what we could expect from him in the future. Compare K.Dot in this interview to the Kendrick Lamar you see in Dubcnn's most recent interview and you will see a tremendous growth and maturation process!

news Out Now: Pause Releases "Pacific Rose" Album - By : Chad - April 3, 2012

Venice, California songwriter-producer Pause cut his chops fronting brass-ensemble funk bands on the west LA club scene, cementing a reputation as a top-line performer and bandleader. After seven years on stage, he took to the studio for his solo debut, "Pacific Rose".

Channeling the spirit of the '90s NorCal rap he grew up with — huge brassy beats, fat low-end, and a tuneful, conscious-style flow — "Pacific Rose" captures hip-hop at its most musical. The project features LA underground legend DOUBLE K of People Under The Stairs contributing beats, verses and collaborations, and the album maintains the aesthetic of SoCal do-it-yourself hip-hop: soulful with a jagged edge, heady, and just enough sleazy polish.

"Pacific Rose" is available on iTunes now, and check out the official tracklist below:

1. Comin' Out of the Darkness (Produced by Double K and Pause)
2. Caroline (Produced by Indy One)
3. Put Me in the Game (Produced by Mnemonic)
4. So Scandalous (Produced by Buccweet)
5. Shouts Out ft. Aidge (Produced by Indy One)
6. It Keeps On Rainin' ft. Double K, Chris Clarke, and Indy One(Produced by Mnemonic)
7. Look At Me Now ft. Aria Minor (Produced by Bird)
8. Cocaine ft. Double K (Produced by Indy One)
9. That's How I Do It ft. Devin Mares (Produced by Bird)

Stay tuned to Dubcnn for more on Pause!
