08/31/05 | Lil Eazy "Gangsta Shit" (Full CDQ Audio)
Lil Eazy's debut single "Gangsta Shit" has been making noise since its premiere on the radio last week. I must say I was a little bit critical about the song at first, until I actually had a chance to hear and enjoy the song in full length and clear quality. Yes, the track is a fucking banger. You got a raw & hungry Lil E doing his verses over this Cool & Dre produced track. It's a street anthem, and at the same time has commercial appeal with the undeniable hook.

Westcoast2k brings you "Gangsta Shit" in full length CD quality, which runs 4:34.

» Lil Eazy - Gangsta Shit (Produced by Cool & Dre)

His debut album entitled "The Prince of Compton" is scheduled to be released in January 2006 on Virgin Records. Look out for the "Gangsta Shit" video coming soon.

08/31/05 | 1stBorn Signs To CCE
1stBorn is a long time affiliate of Crown City Entertainment, which is home to such buzzworthy artists as XL Middleton, Black & Mild, & Rev. He finally signed on officially in 2005 to bring you his solo debut "The First Draft," which is a joint effort through CCE & 1st's own Herban Liquor Productions. 1stBorn's approach to rhyming is to attack the mic in the spirit of the great spitters from the 90's, such as Canibus or Big Pun, only he does it with a distinct West Coast flair that clearly sets him apart from anyone before him on either coast.

What makes 1stBorn unique as an artist is that he brings the "New West" sound to the table, only he does it with enough style and intensity to bring back the golden age of hip hop, from the mid to late 90's. His strong point is a rough, fiery delivery that lets you know from the jump that he means what he is saying. As if that's not enough, he is also a producer and he handled all of the production on "The First Draft," including the lead single "So Many Options" which many people thought was an XL Middleton production. He's already appeared on every Crown City Entertainment release, as well as several mixtapes and the Foesum / Loops compilation "Long Beach City Limits". He has also worked with notable producer Big Saccs & has collaborated with Dr. Stank & Dirty Birdy.

1stBorn's upcoming promotional release, "The First Draft Mixtape", will mainly showcase some of his finer moments on past records such as the ones we just mentioned, but it will also include some new material to give you an idea of what his album will sound like. "The First Draft" includes guest appearances from Young Hootie, XL Middleton, Black & Mild, and much more.

And just so ya know, we'll have the covers for the mixtape and album soon, like in the next few weeks soon. In the meantime, don't forget to download the first single from "The First Draft," "So Many Options" featuring Rev & Young Tremayne, & produced by 1stBorn himself:

Birdy sent us an exclusive track from Volume 3 to show the fans what direction he's heading in. This new song we got is called "Rumerz" and it was produced by fellow I.E. artist WS Bugg. Let me put it this way, this song is a certified banger! Birdy speaks on different rumors that spread in the music industry, and even though he brings up a few serious things, he's doing it in a funny way. Some of the lines cracked me up. Not only does this song showcase his sense of humor, but his incredible talent and creativity.

Give this song a check:

08/16/05 | Introducing Peda Man (With Audio)
"Bringing it from the South all the way to the West straight to yo' soul!!"

Peda Man, originally from New Orleans, moved to the Bay Area at a young age. "I moved out here after I was fucking up so much, so I started pursuing my football career. Music has always been my thing and I was always whoopin everybody on the freestyle, but rapping was always second to football. But dreams of being a professional football player ended when my scholarship ran out. So I went right back on the streets again and I hooked up with Black Tie Records. And that was basically our relationship, little music, more street. My whole life been a hustle, whatever it took, it was always a hustle just to make it, period. Hustle hop is the way of life, that's what I live and die by." Peda Man told Westcoast2k.

"So when you finally make it into this rap shit, at least make it to where a muthafucka can never tell you that you sound like this or that rapper. 'Nah this is my shit!' It's the definition of my life." Peda Man continued. "My style ain't like nobody else's. It's Peda Man, cause I took the time to dig into it and create such a style. It's almost the same attitude I took with football, cause I was the shit back then. But nowadays I can't really play football no more. So I gotta use that energy in my rap, it's real competitive."

After being on the same ticket as Ice Cube, Too Short, and Lil' Kee Kee, Peda Man had to have it. Fast forward to present day, Peda Man recorded his debut album entitled "With Intent To Sell" on the San Jose based label Black Tie Records.

"This album is gonna be some shit that's gonna be like no other. You know how every rapper always say the same things? But I'm coming from the heart with this one. The record is basically about coming from nothing, and hustlin in the streets. But I also talk about football. I'm talking about a little bit of everything on there. I ain't finna limit myself. Some of these gangsta rappers are limited to what they talk about. I ain't limited, I'm talking about life." Peda Man continued.

According to Peda, the album is almost completed, but they're putting the finishing touches on it.

"The album is done, but we're working on the odds and evens. We're working out some more features. But right now I got my boy Sean T producing on the album, he did most of the album. Sean is my folks from the 7th grade. He was the first dude I ran into when I moved to California, so we just hooked back up. As far as guest appearances I got San Quinn, my boy Sean T, and a couple folks from my old group Da Committee. But other than that it's all me. I created everything on my own. All the little voices and shit on the album is all me. I ain't hiring no muthafucka to sing no hook for me." Peda Man said.

"With Intent To Sell" is due out in the next couple of months. Westcoast2k got a preview of what you can expect on Peda Man's "With Intent To Sell". Below are 3 tracks up for download:

» Peda Man - Ace In The Hole Feat. Sean T (Prod by Sean T)

08/15/05 | Red Café Got A Story To Tell
Hoo Bangin'/Capitol recording artist Red Café is scheduled to drop his long awaited debut album "Got A Story To Tell" on October 4th. Originally entitled "The Virus", Red's album has been in the works for quite a while, ever since the Brooklyn native has been grinding and lacing the streets with songs and exclusive freestyles, most notable the Kwame produced "All Night Long" which really set it off for him.

With the enormous potential behind him, Chef Boy IzzR is ready to go to the next level and prove the industry he ain't no joke. And from a musical standpoint I think it's definitely been worth the wait. "Got A Story To Tell" is on point from start to finish, from Red Café's flow and delivery to the lyrics to the production. The album has a wide range of diversity, with tracks like the banger "Strip Club" featuring Mack 10 and Fat Joe, or the amazing "Never Lettin' Go" (similar to Kanye West's "Last Call").

As always, Westcoast2k got a couple tracks for preview. These are "Go Ahead" featuring Mack 10, and "My Cadillac".

» Red Café - Go Ahead Feat. Mack 10
» Red Café - My Cadillac

With this said, Hip Hop fans need to look out for this cat cause Red Café is definitely the next big thing coming out of New York. Go pick this up if you're a fan of good music.

To create a little buzz, the group dropped a few teasers to the streets, including a new song called "Flute Song". The title alone describes it perfectly, E-Swift put that flute all over the track! Hear it below and judge for yourself. It has been a while and it definitely feels good to have them back.

Both songs are set to appear on The Likwit MC's upcoming album "Street Music", and they got me hyped for the whole damn thing! The album has been pushed back a little bit and has a new release date for early next year. Here's the track:

08/10/05 | Lady Of Rage Drops New Mixtape "VA 2 L.A."
Westcoast2k brought you a new song from Ms. Roq the other day, calling her the hardest female MC since the Lady Of Rage. And well, the hardest EVER has just returned with a new project! Damn right, The Lady Of Rage just dropped a new mixtape called "VA 2 L.A." on her own Boss Lady Entertainment, in conjunction with Dogg House Records.

Rage teamed up with a bunch of familiar names (RBX, Goldie Loc, Diamonique) as well as new names (Doc Strange) to spit over some of the hottest instrumentals out right now. And Rage is definitely killing it on this mixtape, 13 years and she hasn't lost it!
