Whats cracckin shortys, we got some hot news for yall. Yesss... Jayo Felony is in the news again and this time homie is frontin again. Showcase Magazine had an interview with Jayo and he's talkin shit again about Jay Z, Snoop and...Daz & Kurupt!! To get the full interview buy the latest issue of Showcase Mag. Below is a part of the interview and Id like to thank LocoteG for this info.

"Regarding the Jay-Z song where he says 'I wear more bling to the source and soul train and niggas wont do a Thang' and 'is he a blood or a crip' its like hes dissin the west cuz the events were on the west and he is on some is he a blood or a crip...shit he aint got nothin to do with that shit. Its just a point of muthafuckas keepin it real. I aint had no gripes with dude or nuthin like that but it forced me to push my hand. I was cool to this point. I got no problems with Meth and Red cuz they aint makin no subliminal disses. That nigga Jay-Z on some 'Is he a Blood or a Crip' shit knowin u aint never banged a day in your life. That shit aint cool homie. If he just played it cool, makin his records we prolly would have been makin records together in a minute. I know them muthafukas was tryna to beg Def Jam to let me sign to Roc but its like I dont give a fuck homie. I was cool with them cats but I'm like damn man U just cant say anything out your mouth homie. Its gotta be some respect factor in the Hip Hop Comunity to keep the Peace. Cant be sayin subliminal funny shit. Then all these niggaz in lowridaz and dressin funny with shirts off and rags on they head. Tryin to commercialise the West Coast way of life. Niggaz wearin Rhinestone rags on they Heads. I dont know what part of tha game that is man. Thats some fruity shit homie, tryna run with a muthafuccaz lifestyle and make it commercial and I feel like Im the only Mothafucka that was really gonna address cause everyone else is on some Dickrydin shit. And the niggaz that would address it dont have the outlet to get heard. With the Henchman I got love from the East and the West and thats what Jay Z feared. He tried to pull the songs off the compilation. You cant hide no dope record. If people gonna feel it you cant stop them from feelin it. Instead of tryna pull the song he should have been on some 'Imma go and serve this nigga on some music' shit. We coulda kept it on some music shit but when you try and tell the (Rap) police on a muthafuka its a whole other story so I feel he done lost the battle already no matter what song he makes. Cause he tried to pull my shit and it didnt go down like that."

Wooo, Jayo bringin some Heat to the game...Later in this interview he goes on and says why he left Def Jam (cause they wouldnt release his shit or promote it right). He felt he could sell as much as DMX or Method Man and says they should have released his album (Hotter Than Fish Grease) right after the Got Beef single. Then he goes on:

"I got my own shit comin out. Its called LOCO Records and get my shit out there how its supposed to be. The name of the album is "Crip Hop" which was originated on my dog E-40's Baskettball Court when I said "Fuck Hip Hop, this is Crip Hop" and muthafuckaz (=Snoop) is tryna bite Crip Hop from me but it will all come to light cause the streets aint gonna allow that shit. They gonna be like 'Oooh, these niggas is bitin Jayo Felony's shit' (sure..) so its gonna bring they fans to me, the little fans they got left. They say its the biggest form of flattery, just Im really not that flattered."

But hold up, the interesting part is below.. In the new Issue of XXL they got an interview with Jayo Felony as well and he speaks about Daz & Kurupt and tells people his opinion. Below is the most interesting part of it, but go cop the issue to get the full thing:

Jayo: Jay-Z is gonna try and get Kurupt and Daz on the Record like that's gonna make it cool, but you already dissed us. Them niggas is stupid (Kurupt and Daz) cause they dont know whats going on.
XXL: So you feel Kurupt and Daz was jumping in some shit they wasnt too knowledgeable on?
Jayo: Yeah, I feel they was just getting on a Remix. They aint really tripping on the beef with me and Jigga cause before that they aint know it was gonna be one. But I feel like if anybody steps in my way as far as serving Roc-A-Fella and they whole camp, Kurupt and Daz or whoever, they gonna get stepped on some kind of way. If you make a record with them do your thang. But if you get in my way, Imma destroy you.


Right right, you remember my lil bro DpGc2k reportin about Knoc Turn'al the other day and I think in the meantime everybody should have the brand new song that features Dr. Dre. If u havent listened, head over to the Playaz Club and check it out, its soo hot. The song is on the new 5-track Promo and I think #rev ripped it. My homie Jedi was able to get it for me so props to the young g. Knoc's album will come out later this year on L.A. Confidential Records. Below is the promo tracklist and a track to listen to. I picked my favorite and it features the good ole Jayo Felony, Butch Cassidy & Slip Capone. Its called 'Lets All Roll' and its produced by the homie Fred Wreck.

The 'I Luv It' Video has been shot and should show up on TV very soon. It was shot in Santa Ana which is pretty close to Long Beach. The setting is a football game with the Dogghouse Clique (Nate Dogg, Warren G, Kokane, Soopafly, Butch Cassidy, Pimpin Young, Battlecat and of course Tha Eastsidaz). CNN was reportin about Long Beach early yesterday and they said its the home town to rap legend Snoop Dogg & Warren G and they interviewed them on the set of the new Eastsidaz video (I Luv It). Snoop said that he doesn't like the negativity the media says about LBC and he is a shining example of a person that grew up in Long Beach and he says he is more comfortable shooting his video's at home so he can see all his friends and family and they can be in the video too. Thanx to Tizerri & Toronto Gangsta for this info.


Julio G's website West Side Radio put up 2 new videos. As for now they got a few vidz up and they recently added the new Liks video "The Best U Can" from their forthcoming album "
X.O. Experience" droppin July 10th. The other video is from The Outlawz' 2nd single "Thug With Me". Thats about it, I gotta bounce. Jermaine

I picked the following news from Launch.com. I know we reported about this shit several times but it wanna bring this up again. Launch reported on the fight between Jayo & Snoop at the Baby Boy movie shooting. Looks like this rumors are true. NEways, read below and peep what Jayo had to say:
San Diego-based rapper Jayo Felony, who ripped into Jay-Z with his song "True'd Up," was recently involved in a scuffle with rapper Snoop Dogg on the set of John Singleton's new movie, Baby Boy. Snoop Dogg appears in the movie, which also stars Tyrese and Ving Rhames. According to insiders, Felony wasn't happy with Snoop Dogg's continued usage of the term "Crip Hop," a phrase coined by Felony, which is also the title to his upcoming album due out later this summer. Felony recently explained to the New York Post's Page Six that he is tired of rappers mentioning gangs in their rhymes. Felony was taken aback when Jay-Z rhymed that people wonder whether he's blood or crip on his recent release, "Change The Game." Felony elaborated, "He ain't never gangbanged a day in his life. I'm tired of these n--gas playing with the gangsta stuff. I've been banging since I was 11, 12 years old and I'm sick of these n--gas making these funny-ass statements."

I was checkin the Billboard charts and peeped the Independent Album charts and saw tha Dillinger & Young Gotti is at number 2 in their 2nd week in charts! This is pretty good, last week they were at # 3. We'll see if they can make it to the top. In other Billboard news, the Up In Smoke DVD is still at number 4 in the music video charts after being in charts for more than 6 months!


Lets get in2 some audios:
This song right here is very rare. The original Big Pimpin was on the Above the Rim Stdk which we all know but this version has different lyrics and different backround vocals..Its a radio rip and therefore edited. Its pretty tight but I only put up this bad quality version. Peep it

This next song is brand new and from the 5 Footaz album 'Lifetime'. They added some tracks like Bad Azz did for his new joint. The song features X2thez Xzibit and Sticky Icky Fingaz. Its called 'Unleash' and hot as fuck. I didnt put up the full song because...yanno..if you want to get the full song buy the new 5 Footaz album along with the Neb-Luv solo album on Neb's official website Neb Luv Online. Thanx to my bro Kevin for the hook up.

The third and last song is by late rapper 2Pac. Its the Battlecat remix to Temptations and I think it was on the Temptations CD single. I think every true 2Pac fan got this song but to the people who dont have it, this is the chance.

Soon to be free Death Row Records CEO Marion "Suge" Knight has released a statement in response to this month's bombshell 18-page article in Rolling Stone that connects the Los Angeles Police Department scandal with Knight, Death Row Records, Death Row attorney David Kenner and the unsolved murders of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. The article piggybacked a recent PBS special on the scandal entitled "LAPD Blues" that illustrated many of the same connections. Knight, who is expected to be released from an Oregon halfway house later this summer and be back at work at Death Row by August, has released the following statement: "Mr. Knight is completing an analysis of the Rolling Stone magazine article and statements made in the article to the writer Randall Sullivan by ex-Los Angeles Police officer Russell Poole regarding Mr. Knight and the LAPD's Rampart Division, in order to ascertain any lawful and legal remedies that may be available to him in this matter. Mr. Knight, Mr. Kenner, and Mr. Wright (owner of Wrightway Protective Services) will review the article with their attorneys, David Chesnoff and Donald Re, to point out the many inaccuracies contained therein. The allegations in the article are denied as ridiculous and absurd. It should be noted that the Chief of the LAPD, Bernard Parks, was recently quoted as believing the Rampart case has been exploited by the media and police critics, and is being 'distorted beyond all proportion,' and also that according to Chief Parks, 'Officer Poole had some theories that could not be substantiated. He only brought it up when he left the department and after he had been personally disciplined and removed from the task force." The Rolling Stone article alleges that Knight orchestrated the murders of both the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur and had three corrupt LAPD officers (who like Knight, were allegedly members of the Bloods gang) working closely with him.

May 24 , 2001 (2nd update)

Im bacc again in dat azz for the 2nd time today. I had to bring this shit up since its quite interesting. Please read the whole thing. I picked it straight from manhunt.com:

New facts, clues and evidence regarding the murders of Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur are to be revealed in the new edition of Rolling Stone, in an 18 page article in which retired LAPD detective Russell Poole, who was the chief investigator of the Notorious B.I.G. murder, talks extensively about the case.
During the article it as claimed that rapper Snoop Dogg said Death Row Records boss Marion "Suge" Knight had Tupac killed. Also, more shockingly, it is revealed that several LAPD officers were also involved with Suge, Death Row, and alledgedly, both murders.
Poole made extensive investigations into the murders, and repeatedly came up against Police blocks, and was eventually transferred to another case to keep him away from what he believes to be the truth. He says the reason is simple:
"What kind of wrongful-death lawsuit do you think Smalls' wife and mother would have had if it could be proven that LAPD officers were responsible for the murder?"
Poole retired from the LAPD as a direct result of his treatment during his investigations and the cover up of his case. He is now in the process of filing a lawsuit against the LAPD for violating his First Amendment right by not allowing him to go public with his findings, suggesting that LAPD officers were involved in criminal activity. Go here for a full story.

OK, we not done yet, I got another exlusive for yall. We reported a few weeks ago that Dr Dre will appear on the new Sticky Fingaz album on the song 'Just Do It'.

After we premiered a few cuts from the new Eastsidaz album first, we got 2 more exclusives from the Dogghouse family. We reported a few weeks ago that Snoop Dogg & Doggys Angels will appear on the 'What's the Worst That Could Happen' Soundtrack. Well I was able to get my hands on those 2 tracks. The Snoop Dogg song is called 'What They Say', but this is not a new song. Snoop premiered it 2 years ago on his 'Big Snoop Dogg Radio' on Power 106. He said that the song will be on Tha Last Meal so u can call it a Last Meal leftover. The original song was called 'How Im Livin' and it sounds a lot like 'Issues'. Snoop recorded the song again and changed the lyrics. He gives shout outs to some of the peeps he's down with and its a real good song. The second song is by Doggys Angels and its called 'Shoot Em Up'. Whooo... what should I say about this. This song is blazin and Im bumpin this since I heard it for the first time. Of course Snoop is in the song too to let people know that he's down with his .Angelz
Other guests on the soundtrack album are Craig Mack, Cha Cha, Erick Sermon, Marvin Gaye, Superfriendz & many more. Click here to buy the album, it will come out next Tuesday.

MEL-MAN & DR DRE FUTURE WORKS
I picked this from ThaFormula.com (thanx to IndoSmoke as well):

Mel and Dre just completed work on three tracks with Busta Rhymes which are tentatively scheduled to be included on Busta's new album. Aftermath is also readying a mad amount of releases for this summer. Mel didn't drop any specifics, but he said that a lot of artists have been stepping up and putting out some nice shit so they are going to have step up and run the summer.

HARRY O DISCUSSES WELCOME TO DEATH ROW SOUNDTRACK
Former Los Angeles drug kingpin Michael Harris (a.k.a. Harry O) is figured prominently in the documentary for his alleged role in the formation of Death Row Records, and his wife, Lydia Harris, served as an executive producer of the film. Harris is currently serving time in a California prison, but in an jailhouse interview over the telephone, Harris spoke about the films soundtrack, entitled Married to the Game.
"The soundtrack captures not just the Welcome to Death Row story, but also artists struggles within the music industry," explained Harris, adding that artists confirmed for the project so far includes Wyclef Jean, Tha Eastsidaz, Warren G, producer Battlecat and former Death Row singer Jewell, who is featured in the documentary. Lydia Harris appears on the soundtrack's lead single, "Married to the Game," which she also produced. A new group of former inmates entitled Jailhouse G's also appear on the soundtrack.
Harris added that several record label heads (not A&Rs, but actual heads) see the huge potential in the Welcome to Death Row soundtrack and have actually met with him in prison to discuss possible distribution deals. Harris said that its still in negotiations with several labels and that more artists will be added to the soundtrack's lineup.
"No soundtrack has captured a story so well," said Harris. "This is real life. As real as it gets. It's Shakespeare at his best." Married to the Game is expected to hit record stores sometime in late August. Harris said that a pay-per-view concert will coincide with the soundtrack that same month, and a video for the making of the soundtrack will also be released.

DJ QUIK & TALIB KWELI HOOK UP
DJ Quik is hard at work on his follow up to 2000's platinum release, "Balance & Options." The as-yet-untitled album will feature guest appearances from a variety of artists. Recently, Quik finished recording a song with Reflection Eternal member Talib Kweli. The song, titled "7:30" was produced by Quik.
"First of all, he is very humble and well mannered" Quik said. Quik who has worked with a variety of artists over his lengthy career, was very impressed with Kweli's writing skills. "He writes quality shit just as fast as 2Pac used to. I look forward to making more music with him." There is no release date slated for Quik's new album, but confirmed artists to appear include Talib Kweli, AMG and Hi-C.

JAYO/ SNOOP BEEF CONFIRMED, DEATH ROW TO RELEASE THA DOGG POUND 2002
Apparently Suge Knight is digging Jayo Felony's brash style. On the Death Row Records Web site, Jayo is given an open invitation to join them. A source close to Jayo confirmed that the rapper has been in discussions with Suge, but Death Row publicist Jonathan Wolfson said he's unaware of any negotiations that would bring Jayo to the label.
However, Jayo will be featured dissing Snoop Dogg on the label's July 31 release of Tha Dogg Pound 2002, Wolfson said. The album is a collection of songs that Dogg Pound members Daz and Kurupt recorded while still with Death Row.

"I don't know nothin' about that," Daz said. "More power to them. I'm 'a get paid off it. I got a deal when I left that I walked with all [my masters]. They could put it out, but I still get all mine. I want to hear what he got."

Daz and Kurupt, who were legally obligated to change their name to the D.P.G. when they left Death Row, released Dillinger & Young Gotti on May 1. Daz, who is in the final stages of his own contract negotiations with Roc-a-Fella Records, said he isn't worried about the old album competing with the new one.

"[Death Row putting out an album will] probably make both of them sell. Everybody already knows what Death Row does because of what happened with Snoop. I'm just gonna ride off their promotion. [Suge's] probably gonna put out a bunch of remixes. He ain't got nothing else. If a bum has a piece of something in the trash, he's gonna make it last. He messed up and lost a good thing. But for now we got this new D.P.G. album out there."

Wolfson said that on Tuesday Death Row will release the long-talked-about reissues of its entire catalog, which includes Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle, Dr. Dre's The Chronic, Tupac Shakur's Makaveli and Tha Dogg Pound's debut, Dogg Food. The label also plans to put out a Tupac double CD of unreleased songs later this year, he said.

Fred Wreck

After supplying gangster-fied tracks for such heavy West Coast hitters as Snoop Dogg and Kurupt, producer Fredwreck is prepping for the release of his own record, tentatively titled The Atoms. The album will arrive in stores courtesy of Snoop's Dogghouse Records in either October or November.
Like a mad scientist, the Los Angeles-based producer wants to experiment with a variety of subjects to make this album as distinctive as possible. His wishlist of artists he'd like to work with includes Everlast, Orgy and Perry Farrell.
"I want to have all different elements on there," he said. "I want to have rock and roll sh-- on there, something with Limp Bizkit."
The majority of the album, however, will feature such usual suspects as Snoop, Tha Eastsidaz, Kurupt, Daz, Cypress Hill, Xzibit, Defari and Dr. Dre. "I want to branch out and go to the East Coast and try to f--- with some of the cats out there," he said. "But I don't know who yet."
One thing is for sure, though. Fredwreck, who is known for funk-drenched, g'd up beats, will be introducing a new sound with his album. "I like electronic sh-- a lot, and I'm into all of the old synthesizers," he said. "I'm going to try to bring some of that into the sound of the album. It's going to be a lot of live playing."
The Flint, Michigan, native learned to love music because of his father, who played guitar at parties held at his family's house. A young Fredwreck noticed how much everyone was enjoying themselves at the fiestas and decided that he would try his own hand at music.
He started DJing at high school parties and began buying records, tons of them. But Fredwreck, 28, remembers a time when hip-hop wasn't as prominent. "When you go to the record store now, there are probably 500 rap albums, CDs to buy," he said. "Back when I started, there were probably like five."
When his family relocated to the San Francisco Bay area, Fredwreck honed his DJ skills, eventually landing a DJ gig on local hip-hop station KMEL as part of the Wake-Up Show. Most of the station's talent eventually relocated to 92.3 the Beat (now 100.3 the Beat) in Los Angeles, a move Fredwreck made in 1991.
Almost instantly, Fredwreck noticed a difference between the California markets. "Up there [in the Bay] you could do beats and remixes and play them on the air, but not too many people are going to hear them," he said. "If I do a remix of Ice Cube's sh-- over here, he's going to hear it and be like, 'Who did that sh--?' If [an artist] comes up to the station, I can slide them a beat tape."
Growing up listening to N.W.A, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, King Tee, Ice-T, Roger & Zapp and Parliament would soon pay off, as Fredwreck started bonding with many Los Angeles-based hip-hop acts who shared his musical tastes.
With an impressive recording resume, Fredwreck says his work on Kurupt's 1999 album, Tha Streetz Iz a Mutha, is his favorite.
"It was a vibe of everybody being in the studio at the same time," he said. "I didn't get to live through the Death Row era of production, having Dr. Dre and Daz there. That work was like my little window into it. It was the best environment to work. I was in there making the beat and Kurupt and Snoop were in there writing. That was really cool."


Peep todays audio below:
This first song is by Kurupt featuring Jewell. Its called I Dont Bang No More and its very rare. its bad quality but a tight joint, a must for all the DPG fans, original Death Row laid back sound from back in the dayz.

The second song is by China featuring Kurupt. This song was on the Ghetto 2 Tha Barrio Vol. 3 that was released in April 2001. Check it out below:

Thats all, peace, Jermaine

You might have heard the bad news that Julio G got fired from The Beat. Well, if you havent yet, peep the full story below:
Bad news for Hip Hop fans in LA. Long time fixture and Hip Hop pioneer Julio G has been given the ax at KKBT The Beat. For those who are familiar with Julio, it comes as a total shock and disappointment. Julio's roots go way back to LA early Hip Hop days when the legendary radio station KDAY was around. He was an original member of the famed mixmasters crew which included Joe Cooley and Tony G. KDAY of course was the country's first Hip Hop oriented rap station. Julio's on air presence was a reminder to all of just how deep rooted LA's Hip Hop scene was. He had a strong connection with many of the area's artists and was well respected. He had also come a long ways since his first days on air when he was a bit nervous and unsure of himself. Over time he developed into a seasoned professional who conducted some of the best on air interviews around. I like to call his the Tavis Smily of Hip Hop because of his ability to engage both the artists and the audience with his interviews. Over the past few years Julio has made his mark with his Westside Radio program which was initially started by his longtime friend the late Eazy E. The firing of Julio G is just the latest in a series of moves made by the Beat since it changed owners last fall- While many have been proud of the accomplishments of Black owned Radio One, many are troubled by the fact that it has let go some of the country's most stellar Hip Hop shows and personalities. The Beat let the Baka Boys go, The Wake Up Show and now Julio G. What gives??? Inquiring minds wanna know? As for now folks can catch up with Julio over at http://www.westsideradio.com

Well, most people dont know that there are actually 2 versions of High Come Down. Thers the first one we premiered a few weeks ago, where Chico drops the first verse, which was edited & probably a promo. The album version is different cuz Nate drops the first verse, but the lyrics are the same. Also another song from the new Chico & Coolwadda album that we posted a few weeks ago is "Wild N Tha West" featuring Kurupt, Defari & Neb Luv. This song is pretty tight, y'all should peep it and of course buy the album when it comes out. We'll keep you informed on the release date.

However, radio stations in Cali have started playin this joint, so be on the lookout for a video very soon. In other DPG news, the new album "Dillinger & Young Gotti" has been delayed again, this time until May 15th, but expect it to be delayed again. Also the new 5 Footaz album "Lifetime" has finally a release date. It should be in stores on May 8th, thats next tuesday, so make sure to support them and buy the album.

As the homie bpg_snoopdogg over at SnoopsDoggpound reported yesterday, Bigg Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre will star in a comedy movie called The Wash, written and directed by D.J. Pooh. According to the film company, Snoop and Dre will be "Odd Couple"-like roommates who have an affiliation to a busy car wash. Eminem will make a cameo appearance in the film too. DJ Pooh's Lithium Entertainment will produce the movie, which begins production on May 7, in conjunction with Lion's Gate. The soundtrack will be released on both Aftermath & Doggystyle Records. And while "The Wash" won't hit theaters for quite some time, fans can catch Snoop on the silver screen when John Singleton's "Baby Boy" hits theaters June 27. Although Snoop and Tyrese are bitter rivals in the flick, the two are doing nothing but spreading California Love on the soundtrack's lead single, "Just a Baby Boy." Featuring newcomer Mr. Tan, the Battlecat-produced G-Funk-laced track tells the story of boyz in the hood that have to deal with, among other things, baby mama drama and gunfights in the streets. The "Baby Boy" soundtrack arrives in stores June 12. Listen to the full song of Just A Baby Boy below. Speaking of the Top D-O-G, he also just wrapped production in Hawaii on the video for "Loosen' Control" featuring Soopafly & Butch Cassidy which is set to air sometime in May. The clip for "Just a Baby Boy" is scheduled to air in May as well. You can order the single here.

Warren G returns as the multi platinum rapper signs with Universal Records!
Universal Records has signed multi-platinum rapper Warren G to a new exclusive recording agreement. The Los Angeles based artist, who first hit the scene in 1994 with the release of his debut album Regulate and its chart-topping title track, says his Universal debut will make a return to the melodic G-Funk style that first brought him success. A bevy of talent including legendary funkster George Clinton, Warren’s half-brother Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Nate Dogg, Butch Cassidy, Daz and Kurupt - is lined up to guest on his Universal debut. While the rapper will produce most of the album tracks, other guest producers like Scott Storc, Jason "Jay-E" Epperson, Dr. Dre and Battlecat are set to contribute to the disc. Fans are familiar with Warren G not only as a chart-topping rapper, but also as an influential producer and artist who helped shape and define West Coast hip-hop. Warren is credited with introducing his long-time friend Snoop Dogg to super-producer/rapper Dr. Dre, and with helping Dre form his seminal West Coast talent and production posse, The Dogg Pound. An accomplished producer himself, Warren was the creative genius behind Mr. Grimm’s mega-hit single "Indo Smoke," which appeared on the Poetic Justice soundtrack. He also produced numerous 2Pac tracks including the hit "Definition Of A Thug" from the Above The Rim soundtrack. Warren G has spent the last two years expanding his career and being active in and around the Los Angeles Community. He has appeared in sitcom roles on TV’s The Parenthood and Clueless, and he has stayed busy supporting community endeavors such as a proposed teen center in Long Beach, CA, and giving free performances and making guest appearances at community events. Nice to hear Warren G to come out with some new shit!

I was told to put this info up for all the Ruthless & Eazy E fans. Below is a link to a Eazy E petition. This is a petition to release material from the late rapper Eric "Eazy-E" Wright. There are millions of Eazy fans around the world and this is directed towards Tomika Wright, the CEO of Ruthless Records, in an attempt to get the material released. There are known unreleased tracks from Eazy-E belonging to Ruthless Records, Priority Records, Relativity Records and producers who have worked with Eazy in the past. By signing this petition, you are asking for a new album by the Compton native Eazy-E. Click here to sign the petition.


I was looking on CDnow.com and found a new release under Dr. Dre. On May 29 Chrome Dreams will release a spoken audio biography of the great doctor. If this doesnt come from Dre, I bet this is just somebody whos trying to make funny off Dre's name, something like the Snoop Dogg Start Profile, which was interesting though. Click here to order this biography cd.

Last but not least I have a very nice song for all the DPG fans. Its an unreleased song by Kurupt & Roscoe. Its called "#1 Stunna - The Felli Fel Theme". This is the theme song of the Felli Fel show on Power 106. I really dig this song and y'all true DPG fans need to check this song, its worth.
