     As expected, the new Dj Whoo Kid mixtape has tons of brand new West Coast related tracks. First off a new Snoop Dogg, Daz & Soopafly collabo called "Hydro 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.

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.
