07/30/05 | "We're All In The Same Gang Pt. 2" (Audio)
The "All In The Same Gang Part 2" movement is on and cracking! The song premiered on KDAY last night, and with all these hungry New West emcees appearing on the song and giving their support, this will hopefully have the same impact as Part 1.

You have Bishop Lamont starting off, followed by Glasses Malone, Spit Fiya, Crooked I, Six Million, Young Hoggs, Guerilla Black, Big Wy, and Spider Loc. Producer J-Steez laced the beat, which is obviously based on the original track.

Props go out to our forum member ruthless95rip providing everybody with this song. Hear it right here:

07/26/05 | King T Back With 3 New Projects!
Fuck a Champ, the King is here! It's been a minute since West Coast veteran King T blessed us with a verse, but that's about to change real fast. King T is back in full effect, dropping not 1, not 2, but 3 projects next month! Westcoast2k reached out to the King to get the low on things.

First things first, King T is dropping a new mixtape next week, on August 1st, called "Boss Up Volume 1". It will showcase new talent as well as familiar names, and the main focus is to connect the new with the old, which is definitely a good look for new artists.

"Mostly what I wanted to do with this mixtape was showcase a bunch of new talent that's coming from the West Coast, like Young Maylay, Young Noi, Mr. West, and a few other cats. Plus I wanted to get with some of my homies like Comptons Most Wanted. I also did something with B-Real. I got a few things from the Dogg Pound, I got something with Kurupt, then I got some stuff from Soopafly with Richie Rich, Gonzoe, and Daz. I also got Tri Star and Eastwood, and I'm on like 5 cuts, but it's mainly just showcasing new talent, cause we gotta get the West back on top. As far as producers, I got Jesse West from New York, One Eye, this new kid from the West named E, and then I did like half of the mixtape that's original beats. " King T told Westcoast2k.

"I feel like it's on its way back to the West, we're gettin' a lot of play now. We just need avenues like I'm trying to give right here with the "Boss Up" mixtape. That's what it's all gonna be, showcasing new talent from the West. That's the only reason that I'm trying to do mixtapes, to get the kids and get them out there. It's pretty cool right now, because it used to be real hard to hear new talent from the West. But now people are on us, it's Down South now, and it's coming back around to the West Coast." King T continued.

Click here to hear a little message from King T and get the idea behind the "Boss Up" mixtape.

Besides that, King T also got a Greatest Hits album coming out entitled "G-Hits" (the old school album cover alone explains it all).

"I also got a CD coming out with my old hits that I had back in the days, like "Bass", "Played Like A Piano", "Act A Fool", "Str8 Gone", the song I was on Dre's album "Some L.A. Niggaz", or the song I did with Spice 1 called "West Ridin'". That will come like a week later after the mixtape." King T said.

On top of that, King T will also re-release his unreleased Aftermath album "Thy Kindom Come". This will be come out in the exact same form how it was mastered on Aftermath.

"We will re-issue it. It's gonna be a different version of the album than the bootleg that came out. It's gonna be the actual album that was mastered that I did with Dre. The bootleg was just put together, but we gonna put out the real one. With the bootleg I didn't really mind, I kinda helped put it together because I wanted people to hear it" T said.

Warren G has been making some noise with new songs and guest appearances, right in time for his upcoming album "In The Mid Nite Hour" which is scheduled to drop in late summer. Warren stated a while ago that his first single would drop around this time. It's called "Make It Do What It Do" and it has been getting some spins for a bit.

At the same time, Warren is enjoying radio play with his other joint "Get You Down" featuring B-Real. As of now, no official single has been announced. However, "Get You Down" has been added to rotation on LA Radio.

Seeing how a lot of people never heard the single "Make It Do What It Do", I've brought a little sneak preview. Click below to sample the song and get a feel of what direction Warren's taking for the upcoming album. "Make It Do What It Do" as well as most of the album was produced by the G-Child himself.

» Warren G - Make It Do What It Do

07/26/05 | Ms. Roq To Appear On Mike Murphy's Debut LP
"Who's the bad bitch now, you crept on, paid the piper /
Who'da thought a sexy bitch could be a murderous sniper"

You should remember that line coming from Ms. Roq, the hardest female rapper since The Lady of Rage. So whatever happened to her? A question I get asked a lot. Ms. Roq created a nice buzz thanks to her ill delivery on Dr. Dre's "2001" album, but she seemed to have disappeared like a sick animal searching for a place to die.

Roq will be making her return on a song on singer Mike Murphy's debut album entitled "II Chance". She's droppin a verse on the Remix to his single "Tap That", a blend of R&B and rhythm destined for multi format airplay. It's good to hear from Ms. Roq again, but this here is different than what people would expect from the Cali female MC. In my personal opinion, I'd rather hear her spit some drive-by killer shit like she did on "Let's Get High" or "Murder Ink", than something like this slow jam here.

We got the song available for your listening pleasure:

» Mike Murphy feat Ms. Roq - Tap That (Remix)

"II Chance" is hitting stores August 30.

07/26/05 | Ras Kass Power 106 Radio Drop (Audio)
We got some heat from Ras Kass to keep everybody busy till his new album "Institutionalized Vol. 1" drops in August. It's one of the many tracks he recorded since his release from jail; this one is a radio drop he did for Power 106 so you might have heard this getting spins. It's called "My Blackberry" and Ras is spitting over this 9th Wonder production. Ras & 9th... the outcome is extremely positive so that's definitely a collabo for the future.

"Institutionalized Vol 1." will be out in August. Pre-order it here and get the CD about a month before everyone else.

Now to the audio...

07/26/05 | Capitol To Release Eazy E CD/DVD
On September 6, Capitol/Priority Records will commemorate the 41st anniversary of Eazy-E's September 7, 1964 birth and the tenth anniversary of the rap icon's 1995 death by releasing Eazy-E - 'Eternal E: Gangsta Memorial Edition', a deluxe CD/DVD package. The expanded set includes 16 Eazy-E songs, seven music videos starring Eazy-E and the previously unreleased song "A Lil' Eazier Said" from Eazy-E's son, the 21 year old emerging rap artist, LIL' E. The DVD also includes three HIV/AIDS Public Service Announcements. At the age of 31, Eazy-E died on March 26, 1995 due to AIDS-related causes.

Eazy-E was born Eric Wright on September 7, 1964. He rocketed 'Straight Outta Compton' to gangsta superstardom with Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren and Yella in N.W.A Eazy-E became one of rap's most important figures by paving the way for the rap businessman. The Compton rapper-executive took the then-revolutionary step of launching his own Ruthless Records in the mid-1980s and helped to popularize gangster rap with his solo recordings and as a member of N.W.A, the controversial rap super group.

"He started the whole gangster rap era," says LIL' E, Eazy-E's son. LIL' E's "A Lil' Eazier Said," a previously unreleased update of Eazy-E's classic "Eazy-er Said Than Dunn" single, is included on Eazy-E - 'Eternal E: Gangsta Memorial Edition'. "There wouldn't be nothing - not 2Pac, not Biggie, not 50 Cent, not Dr. Dre, not Eminem - if it wasn't for my father," LIL' E continues. "He started it. He's the Godfather of gangster rap."

In addition to LIL' E's new track on the new 'Eternal E' package, the set's DVD includes three Rap-It-Up Public Service Announcements, produced by the Kaiser Family Foundation and BET. The PSAs are designed to foster HIV/AIDS awareness through celebrating Eazy-E, a rap legend who fell victim to the epidemic.

In a March 2005 article paying tribute to Eazy-E and his musical legacy, the Los Angeles Times called Eazy-E's 'Eazy-Duz-It' and N.W.A's 'Straight Outta Compton' "landmark albums" and continued, "These albums established Eazy-E, from the then-little known suburb of Compton, as a major player in the rap industry." 'Straight Outta Compton' also earned the ranking of #144 on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of the "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" and was ranked #10 in Spin magazine's July 2005 tally of the "100 Greatest Albums 1985-2005."

Eazy-E - 'Eternal E: Gangsta Memorial Edition' is the most complete tribute available for one of rap's most significant figures.

"This album keeps his legacy pushing and keeps his name out there," LIL' E says.

Tracklist for 'Eternal E: Gangsta Memorial Edition'

CD:

1. Boyz-N-The Hood (remix)

07/26/05 | Video(s) Of The Week
It's been a while since I did this, so it's about time for the new video of the week (might as well call it video of the month). This is something from the archives, Above The Law on the cut called "Call It What U Want" featuring 2Pac & Money B. Taken from ATL's '93 "Black Mafia Life" album. Haven't seen this in a minute, that was definitely a nice collabo right there.

Thought I'd add bring another video to the table... Again, we got some vets on this track. MC Eiht, King T, and Dresta the Gangsta share the 1998 remix of "Straight Outta Compton", taken off the 10th Anniversary Tribute album of N.W.A.'s "Straight Outta Compton". Yeah it won't be too long and we might get a 20th anniversary album. Hopefully, cause that track right there was a very good look.

Third Degree on Blak Ice Records is among the artists slated for the line-up of the “Westcoast Takeover,” masterminded by DJ Hideo, the revered Mix Show Director at Los Angeles radio station KKBT FM (The Beat), and his partner, the honorable Catdogg, who says his contribution is co-hosting this upcoming mix CD, as well as “riding shotgun and giving direction.” DJ Hideo is heard as the mix DJ on this major market radio station at 100.3 FM on “Friday Night Beat Down,” “Saturday Night Live Street Science Beatdown Weekends,” and on the famed “John Salley Block Party” Morning Show.

“Westcoast Takeover” will be released in the States in late August as a Japanese import. In addition to Third Degree, it will include tracks from other such luminaries as The Game, Kurupt, DJ Quik and Dub C of Westside Connection fame.
Hideo states, “This is my way of showcasing West Coast music to Japanese fans, and letting them know what is hot on the West Coast.” He adds, “It is a great way to help showcase West Coast artists, both established artists and new artists, as well.”

For those who are not yet familiar with Third Degree, Hideo notes, “Third is an up and coming California artist. Don’t sleep on Third. He has a whole lot of potential.” Third’s single, “Do My Thang,” featuring E-40, is a hot commodity on the mix disc.
Third Degree’s debut album, “The Pedestrian” is slated for release on August 16.

07/09/05 | DJ Quik & Sly Boogy Mixtape Update
To everyone that purchased a DJ Quik mixtape, we apologize for the inconvenience on having to wait so long for your mixtape. The overwhelming response to this mixtape backed us up as well as the P3 Entertainment computer network system went down that week. The holiday weekend also put a delay in the shipping process.

07/09/05 | Doey Rock "Rocks" the Streets
LOS ANGELES, CA (July 8, 2005) - Rap and Hip-Hop music continues to tell the street tales of family, survival and pain, but none as provocative and compelling as the life of Jonathan ‘Doe” Montana better known as Doey Rock. Doey Rock is the prominent personality, Jonathan is the “thinker” and Montana is the “play maker”

Doey Rock’s conflict with himself, the streets, his unstable childhood, and his absentee father is reflected through his music. Picking up a pen and pad instead of a ‘piece’ has been his therapy. Doey Rock’s fans best describe his music as a Talib Kweli meets an edgy Xzibit experience. Doey Rock’s ability to narrate his story and draw visual pictures through his words is just the prescription to continue the growth of the west coast rise.

During his Hip-Hop journey Doey Rock signed recording deals and patiently waited for his turn to shine, but that never came. Completely fed up with being let down by the people he allowed himself to trust, he took his destiny into his own hands and created Industrial Works. Through his company he intends on showing his fans and doubters his fearless ability to pull up his bootstraps and get down and dirty with his career the “Industrial Way.”

Doey Rock has recorded songs with Hip-Hop heavy hitters such as Raekwon the Chef, Supa Fly, Daz, and Carlos 'Six July' Broady. He has also shared the stage with Hip-Hop veterans such as KRS-One, The Roots, Nas, and Xzibit to name a few. From coast to coast, Doey Rock has held down the stage and consistently won over fans. Unlike any other time in his life, Doey Rock is focused on his career as a recording artist.

Continuously recording his soul onto digital archives, shaping his identity and discovering his salvation one track at a time…The Struggle Is Back and his name is Doey Rock.

Here's the single impacting radio stations called "The One" produced by Rick Rock.

» Doey Rock - "The One" (produced by Rick Rock)

The album "Soul On Fire" is in stores now. For more information visit DoeyRock.com.
