Keeping things in forward motion, Young De a.k.a. Demrick is spraying lyrical Windex on his looking glass in preparation of becoming one of the new faces in the “New West” movement. Off to one helluva start in trailblazing the roads ahead of him, he’s linking up with his good friend Scoop DeVille to Neva Look Back for a fresh new EP. Read the rest of this entry »

Kid Sister & Gucci Mane? Hey, roll with the flavor if it works and here it does, largely due to producer Scoop DeVille’s use of rumbling bass. Not sure why this one was left off her Kiss Kiss Kiss tape. Read the rest of this entry »

Since dropping the ball in style to break in the new year, Snoop and Marty James decided they needed another monumental event to bless with an anthem. Since Valentine’s Day is for suckas, they pay homage to their home soil—which just so happens to be the home of NBA All-Star Weekend 2011. How many more theme songs does L.A. need? Well if you ask the Dogg, there’s room for one more as he and his new Nate Dogg call up Scoop DeVille to capture some Cali rays on wax. Read the rest of this entry »

When the thought of Snoop Dogg on New Year’s Eve crosses your mind, the furtherst expectations would probably be a nice, quiet private party with his leading lady as 2011 breaks its crest. But the Boss Dogg is doing boss things this year and mature anthem deserves its own mature atmosphere. With plenty of superfriends, Landy Cognac and chronic, December 31st stays craccin’ on the West Coast. Read the rest of this entry »

Like most artists locked down on Aftermath Alcatraz, freedom eventually becomes a necessity and inevitable since the album-to-year ratio is 1:10 over there. Still, Bishop Lamont carved his buzz out with a spoon until he was on the greener side of the pasture. The Shawshank Redemption: Angola 3 looks to bring his West Coast stock up to the premium status that’s alluded him so far with assistance from Bink!, DJ Quik and Dr./Warden-never-any-hard-feelings-Andre-Young.

We have a little ways to go before the ball drops to usher in 2011 but ain’t no party like a Snoop Dogg party cuz a Snoop Dogg party don’t stopppp. And to make sure his NYE celebration is proper, you know he had to rocc with Scoop Deville once again to get the dance floor filled.

God’s Favorite has a nostalgic nutcracker on his hands with the lead off jam off his album S.U.P.E.R.T.H.U.G. No matter how checks Flavor Flav has cashed from VH1, we’ll always remember him as the greatest hypeman of all time during his run with Public Enemy. Norey knows it too as he feeds off his timeless energy. Read the rest of this entry »

You can check N.O.R.E.’s track record as a solo artist and observe how he’s a master at storming out the gate with an infectious hit. We wouldn’t even be having this conversation if it wasn’t for “Superthug” which put his name (and The Neptunes for that matter) on the commercial soundscape. As a direct result, the unofficial trio went on to make more magic in the form of “Oh No,” “Grimey” and “Nothin‘” as well. Read the rest of this entry »

R.E.D. Forces. R.E.D. Porsches. R.E.D. verses and R.E.D. abortions. Game is adamantly painting the rap world his color of choice to prepare for the release of his 4th album, The R.E.D. Album. Keeping it all the way West, Chuck Taylor links up with DJ Skee along with another two-thirds of the industry to enter The R.E.D. Room free of charge to you. Read the rest of this entry »

The last time I spoke about Fat Joe here, the result wasn’t positive. However, one thing you or I won’t call Joe is a quitter. The man who gave the world Big Pun is preparing for the explosion of his new effort, The Darkside. As long as Crack doesn’t start doing this again, I’ll listen. On “Slow Down”, the BX don enlists Jeezy, who has been quite busy lately, to supply the hook and a guest verse. It’ll be interesting to see how this does on the charts, but overall it is a solid first offering.

In turn, the real star of the record is the producer, Scoop DeVille. The 22-year-old is poised to become one of the breakout producers in 2010 with “I Wanna Rock” already firmly planted in his portfolio. Add this Soul II Soul sampled cut and Scoop’s future is looking quite bright.

It’s probably too early to speculate, but Jada would sound right at home on this beat if a remix were to ever surface. Just a suggestion.

Usually he doesn’t do this…but he’s gonna keep the party going. Señor Hova makes it official; lending his vocals to the hottest joint of the winter while getting a new verse from Snoop in the process. Just another one for the collection. And speaking of new, Dogg DeVille is making power moves re-releasing Malice N Wonderland for the Spring ’10. A Soulja-Boy-less-album with a DVD? Hell yeah, we’ll take another.

Although it didn’t have the commercial fanfare like “Grindin’” or “A Milli” before it, there was no question that Snoop Dogg’s “I Wanna Rock” was the track to rocked for veteran and burgeoning MCs alike. Rumour had it that Jay-Z was supposed to add one to the melee but apparently, he was more concerned with adding wifey’s last name to his own.

None the matter, there’s plenty of who’s who’s rockin’ over Scoop DeVille’s baby boy. Peep the madness. Read the rest of this entry »
