tons of brand new West Coast related tracks.
First off a new Snoop Dogg, Daz & Soopafly

Hit". They all come off tight on
this beat, I'm really feelin this one. Too bad
they cut it at the end, but expect this song
on a upcoming Dogghouse album. Next up a new
track by Snoop Dogg featuring Lil Half Dead
& Charlie Wilson called "Crip
Hop". Theres even more Snoop Dogg
on the mixtape, this time with Tha Eastsidaz
and RBX. They rap over a dope beat, the song
is called "Let's
Get High". Next up a song Snoop
Dogg recorded with 50 Cent. Its the Remix to
50's "P.I.M.P". The remix also features
Don Magic Juan..."Pimp
(Remix)". Last but not least the
much talked about 2Pac/50Cent track "Tha
Realest Killas" produced by Red
Spyda. Im surprised how this came out, a real
good song.
Lets
move on to some new Kurupt. He had two new songs
on the Dj Kool Kid mixtape. Here is "Family"
and "My
World". Alsod featured on the same
tape is a written
Freestyle by Crooked I, which he used
a few times now. The mixtape is hosted by Kurup
himself.
And last but not least the first single from
the new Daz Dillinger album "U Know What
Im Throwin Up". This is the official single,
its called "All
Nite Long" produced by Mike Smoove.
The album has been pushed back once again to
June due to promotional reasons. In other news,
