| New Conway Produced by Dr. Dre
Here is a new song by west coast rapper Conway. The track is called
"Nutcracka" and is produced by none other than Dr. Dre. Its gettin some
spins on radio stations. The LA rapper got 2 tracks from Dre, and he was just
signed to Universal Records. Conway has a grip of tight songs, but the hook on
"Nutcracka" is kinda weak and the beat is not what you would expect
from a A1 producer... Here is "Nutcracka".
Check back with us for the other Dr. Dre produced song...

| Site Changes / New Section
Our WC2K "Features" are now split in 2 sections. We focus
mainly on new, upcoming & underrated West Coast Rappers. The first section
is called "On The Rise", being the place featuring already established
but still new artists that have made some noise & a name for themselves by
appearing on projects & shows. We feel that the following artists in this
section can make an impact in West Coast Rap with their skills. Click
here to go to the section. In our second section called "Whatchu
Know About..." we focus on new artists that are having a problem getting
their music heard, but have yet to prove their skills. If you're serious and got
skills feel free to contact us and we will work something out if we feel you.
Your music MUST be related to Westcoast Rap, but we're not a record label looking
for new artists so no bullshit please. If you are an A&R be sure to check
back with us periodically, as we often add new artists or update this section
with new information. Click
here to go to the section. Our first artist in that section is Long
Beach rapper Mr. Midas.
