G-Unit West Members
G-Unit West is an extension of G-Unit Records and is after the movement of G-Unit South (which is also known as Cashville Records). G-Unit West has many hip hop artists from the West Coast and also has "Snoopy Blue". I will post an article about Snoopy Blue of G-Unit West soon.
Spider Loc is head of G-Unit West and his album is still apparently coming this fall. View the picture below to see all the members:

Paris Hilton and Three 6 Mafia
Paris Hilton (pictured right) is getting help from Three 6 Mafia with her album entitled "Paris Is Burning". She is also in a pictured below with Dr Dres son "Hood Surgeon".
This may not sound that good but when she has beats from Dr Dre and Scott Storch and has Fat Joe on the album it actually might sound decent. Three 6 Mafia made the hit "Stay Fly" with Young Buck from G-Unit and Spider Loc from G-Unit West. They have also won at the Oscars from the film "Hustle and Flow".
Her album "Paris Is Burning" is said to be out this June. June seems to be a very good month for albums, including releases from Ice Cube and The Game.
Dr Dres Son Update
Dr
Dres son "Hood Surgeon" seems more believable after seeing a few pictures and reading more. You might think this is suspicious for a West Coast artist to not have any news or press and if hes Dr Dres real son
youd expect it. However from
http://cdbaby.com/cd/hoodsurgeon it has got writing copied from Hood Surgeons real site at
http://sohoodrecords.com/. It says the following:
Hood Surgeon is attempting to create a buzz without any assistance from radio nor label support. However, the time has come for Hood to take the throne. After careful consideration, Hood Surgeon is ready to begin the take over.
This would explain why there arent many articles. This seems a really bad idea if he wants to put the west map on the hip hop map (as it says on the article). However as he is Dr Dres son I guess he doesnt need Radio or a Label.
There are many tracks to listen to on the site and a little bit of background info on him so go to it at
http://cdbaby.com/cd/hoodsurgeon! Also I have many pictures I got off his Gallery and you can see them below. I doubt Hood Surgeon is fake as it has Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton in the pictures, with The Game in other Galleries too. If it is fake then they are really good lookalikes See below:
Dr Dres Son!!
Apparently "Hood Surgeon" or "Curtis Young" is a son of the legend of Aftermaths Dr Dre! He has started a rap career and I have managed to find a track called "Aww S**t, Not Again".
Hes got a West Coast sound for real and sounds abit like Dr Dre. However I have no real sources on this apart from the lyrics and forum posts so dont be too sure. But I dont care because it sounds real good!
I will keep you updated, and try to get a real source, but for now listen to the track below, the song is originally from

Doctors Advocate and new Game track!
The Games second album The Doctors Advocate is said to be lyrically advanced. With the likes of Dr Dre, Scott Storch and Nu Jerzey Devil on the producing side and the promise of good lyrics this new album seems to be one to note of. In an interview with Jimmy Rosemond (CEO of Czar Entertainment) he said this about Games new album:
“I think what you’re going to see is how lyrical this guy is for a West coast rapper, He’s about to change the game of how West coast rap is perceived."
A new track is also comfimed, called "One Blood". Rosemond says
“I don’t know how much radio play it’s going to get, but it’s a hell of a street record,”
All of this sounds very promising and I will post updates if I manage to get hold of this track. Oh, and another thing! The album is said to be still on track for June the 6th however it doesnt look realistic due to outstanding deadlines from Czar Entertainment.

Aftermaths Bishop Lamont
I was just browsing the web and found Bishop Lamont, a new artist out on Dr Dres Aftermath. Hes a west coast artist. I dont know how old news this is, but I dont care. His two songs ive heard are hot. I wonder how he will compare to The Game and G-Unit West or in the hip hop game. Listen to them on the links below:
http://www.indastreets.net/record%20pool/audio/bishop/Inheritance.mp3
http://www.indastreets.net/record%20pool/audio/Do%20It.mp3Update:He is from Carson California and was born in Inglewood and was signed 2005. Ive never heard of him. Listen to the two tracks from
http://www.indastreets.net/home.htm and see what you think.
The Game : Leave or got Kicked?
There is some confusion about whether Game got kicked out the group or he left. According to "Dear Mr President" he says :
I got kicked out of G-Unit, no hard feelingsHowever in the more recent "240 bars" and the infamous "Here we go again" by Dr Dre he says:
Say he kick me out the group nigga i left
and also says:
I left the group because the group was too crowedThere have also been statements made by non-artists affiliated with Aftermath Records that suggest that The Game and 50 Cent are actually friends off-stage. This leads me to believe he got kicked out, however changed the story or that this is just to improve sales. Discuss your views and knowledge.
Spider Loc : Coming fall
In an interview with mixtapetalk.com Spider Loc said he aims for his album to come out
2008 2006 this fall:
"Yeah, we're trying to get it out for the fall. We have a lot going on, right now, so it's just slow bakin'; getting it to perfection."
Will this be a West Kept Secret? or drop. We shall we
if when it gets realeased.
Ice Cubes new album
Due June the 6th is Ice Cubes 7th album, "Laugh Now, Cry Later". With beats from Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz, Lil' Jon as well as appearances from West Coast rappers Snoop Dogg and WC this might be one to watch. The Games album is also due out on June the 6th.
