Dr. Stank Left MCA
Dr. Stank & the management Sugar Ill have been dropped from MCA Records last
week. This is due to cutbacks and the horrible financial
state of the industry. Intercope Pres Jimmy Iovine had been running MCA since
the 1st of the year and is merging some of MCA departments with Interscope, so
he got rid of like 80% of the MCA roster. But the Dr. Stank album is finished
and its entitled "The Oder". There is no release date but they are still
pushing the lead single "Smell
Me". They have labels already interested but until then they are
just going to blanket the street's with the single on the Radio. In other news,
Stank & the crew are working on a Sugar Ill mixtape for the streets called
"Got E?" (E stand for Empire for those who didnt know). It will feature
Stank, Sly Boggy, Dirty Birdy, Funcsta Func, Homeless Nation, ODM, and other hot
new shit. Expect the mixtape in the Spring. We'll keep you posted

Nate Dogg Pushed Back
Nate Dogg's new self titled album has been pushed back again. There is no new
date but Nate is finishing up the last two tracks for the new album this week
together with Dr. Dre & 50 Cent.
"I'll
be finished with it by the end of next week, I went and revamped a few things.
I got Dre producing a couple of them and 50 Cent on one. I got the opportunity
to put them on, so I postponed it. You got to have them kind of cats on there.
Hopefully the song with 50 will be a dance record or something real aggressive.
Dre is doing the beat right now, so once that’s done we'll be on it."
Nate said.

Audio Update
Some people asked for the track playing in the background on the Doggystyle trailer
they once had on the official website. Its the track
called "Girls Gone Wild" from the self-titled DVD that came out last
year. It has Snoop Dogg, Soopafly, Bad Azz, Kokane & Don Magic Juan and was
produced by Fredwreck. The track can be heard right here, "Girls
Gone Wild".
Butch
Cassidy has a very dope track on the "Malibu's Most Wanted Soundtrack"
which is out now. The song is called "I
Want You Girl", and was produced by the one and only Dj Quik. His
laid back vocals and the tight production makes for a good combination.
Nate
Dogg has the self-titled theme song for the "Head Of State" Soundtrack,
a short snippet can be heard right here..."Head
Of State". No idea when or if the soundtrack is coming out, because
it should be out by now. Nate & Dj Quik recorded a couple of songs for that,
one being their collabo "This Is What They Think Of U".
Next
up a track from the upcoming Kay Slay album "The Street Sweeper Vol. I".
The track has MC Ren, Kam & E-A-Ski and its called "Westside
Drive By".
Last
but not least two requested songs, the Remix to Daz' first single which is gettin
radio airplay..."All
Night Long (Chops Remix)" and a Ras Kass track that was recently
recorded. Its called "R.A.S.
- Run Away Slave (Fuck Priority)". The title says it all, its about
the label drama and him not givin his album back to Priority. Look for his new
album "Re-Up" coming later this year.
