| New Shade & Baby Ree Drop
Shade Sheist was on Power 106 last
week and premiered two new songs. The first one
being "Rude Awakening" which was meant
to be the "Wake Up Remix" but has now
turned into a record which will appear on the upcoming
Baby Ree / Hoobangin compilation "Ghetto
Gutter and Gangsta". The song features
Butch Cassidy, Knoc-Turn'Al and more appearances
by N.U.N.E., Warren G and OGLB, and it is an interpolation
of Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones".
The second
record was a drop he had just recorded for Dj Felli
Fel called "Betta Watch" which they played
that night. The drop features Damizza and Titus
Fu*k, the newest PaperWork artist. They rap over
50 Cent's "In Da Club" which was mixed
with an old NWA record and begins with words from
Eazy-E. They all shine ont he track, especially
Shade cause this is a very different record than
we're use to from him as he attacks individuals
he chose to leave nameless.
Shade also
talked about his recent removal from MCA Records
urging all new artists to stay away from them. Damizza
has been granted the rights to remove Shade Sheist
from all contractual obligations with MCA Records.
Shade is now a free agent and looking to release
an Indepedent record this year, as well as PaperWork
Entertainment artist N.U.N.E's record and the Baby
Ree/Hoo Bangin album.
We have the
Felli Fel drop for you right here exclusively on
this site. Click

Watch" (in mp3).
To hear the
song "Rude Awakening" head over to the

| Defari
Speaks On Xzibit
"When you stray so far away
from the dudes that you came up with, you wonder if
he even knows himself", Defari said in a
recent interview with AllHipHop.com.
"Likwit
Crew, we know who we are. Defari, I know who the fuck
I am. You wait
'til you are 27 years old and now you are Crippin?"
Defari asked of Xzibit.
"You
ain't from one street. Just 'cause niggas from the
set show you love, that doesn't mean that you are
from the set. It's crazy because these niggas are
so Hollywood with this shit and there are so many
regular real niggas who ain't never banged, who are
way more gangsta then these niggas. They goin' bananas
from bandannas".
Defari said
that he warned Xzibit not to glorify the gang life.
"Niggas told me when I was a little kid 'don't
fuck with this shit'. I used to tell dude on the road
you not a Crip or a Blood. I ain't down with fake
bangin', or bangin' period, fake or not".
Defari recently
finished a track produced by Fredwreck, titled "Haunted
Souls", which deals with the harsh realities
of the gang life.
"It
will be the hardest shit you ever heard out of L.A."
It's about three kids, 13, 16 and 19. They talk about
why they joined and how they got into the life. It's
a killer song. I taped my voice to sound like little
kids", Defari said.
The song will
be featured on Defari's new album "Odds &
Evens" droppin in April on his own High Times
Records, distributed by Universal Records. The first
single is called "Spell My Name" and can
be heard by
clicking here.
The album features
appearances by E-Swift, Evidence, Dilated Peoples,

DVD "Banged Out"
There is a new soundtrack coming out

best friend separated at a young age. One grows up
“Crippin” the other is a blood with the
best friend caught in the middle. They grow up neighborhood
arch enemy’s until fate brings them together,
and death pulls them apart. Richie Mac, the producer
of the movie shot the film in South Central, several
times narrowly escaping with his life. “Grabbing

on the West coast. He’s worked with artists such
as Threat, D.J. Pooh, Ralph Tresvant, Kam and others.
The soundtrack is laced with some of the best the

| Happy New Year
Happy new year from Westcoast2k. Some
people might remember when the site was born 3 years
ago back in January 2000. I had an idea of bringin
everything West Coast Rap related to fans all around
the world and I think I can say with confidence that
we achieved that position. Anyway, its a new year
so let's see what the future holds for the West Coast.

| New J-Ro / Daz & Lil Flip
The long awaited diss song by J-Ro aimed
at Xzibit titled "Look Out (The X-Homie)"
leaked to the public. We reported on this beef a few
times so everybody should be informed by now, if not
scroll down to read the full scoop. This song is pretty
hard and he's rappin about real stuff, J even mentioned
the Snoop and X beef. Xzibit has no choice but to
feel the lyrics cause as far as I can tell everything
J-Ro said was real. Anyway, click
here to listen to the song.
Daz Dillinger and Down South Rapper Lil Flip recorded
a bunch of songs together and a few of them leaked
to the public, one of them is "Flip
And Daz".

| Update on Sixx John
Here
is a little update on West Coast rising star Sixx
John. Heads will remember when they first heard him
on the song "The UnXXpected". Anyway, it's
been kinda quiet around him lately. Well his album
titled "The UnXXpected" is coming out the
first quarter of 03, like March or April. The albums
been finished for a year but he cant release it due
to problems with the label 1Tyme Entertainment. Big
Tank is the CEO of the label, and also the same guy
who produced Missy's "Work It", so he's
kinda into his own stuff right now. We'll see how
things will come out, but dont sleep on Sixx!
