The Game "Red Bandana" from Stop Snitchin Stop Lyin

This is a Game track from his Hip-Hop mixtape "Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin". It seems a very original track with a beat apparently from Santanas. His mixtape is very good, and The Game raps over many 50 Cent beats and a few from his producer Nu Jerzey Devil. Download the song Red Bandana by The Game below:

Dr Dre Will Rap on The Big Bang

Dr Dre is said to rap and spit on Busta Rhymes new album The Big Bang. Busta said this in an interview with Angie Martinez.

In an interview Busta Rhymes said:

He (Dr. Dre) sounds incredibly crazy. He went in,” a keyed-up Busta told Martinez, about Dre’s guest appearance on “Imagine,” a track off The Big Bang album. “The dope thing about it is the concept.

The album is delayed and now due on June 6th. Same as The Game and Ice Cube?! This is interesting! You can listen to his new track below called "I love my b***h" or "I love my chick" below:

What happened to Antonio on Aftermath?!

Aftermaths Antonio? I dont have a picture of Antonio, or one song by him really. However I have heard alot of hype and one audio track by Antonio and The Game. Antonio was suppost to be signed to Aftermath however I have not heard any recent news. The last things ive heard is that hes still signed to Aftermath, which was back in 2004 and 2005, so I doubt that is the case now. However listen to the track below called "If you want it" and see what you think:

It has a quite good beat but for me it got old very quickly.

Black Wall Streets Charli Baltimore

I have got hold of a song by Black Wall Streets Charli Baltimore called "Bounce Back". This audio track is produced by Nu Jerzey Devil of BWS and was on The Games mixtape "Stop Snitching Stop lying". Charli Baltimore is from philadelphia and was signed to Murder Inc, but is affilated with Black Wall Street now. You can download "Bounce Back" by Charli below:

She has a nice rapping style and the hip-hop beat by Nu Jerzey Devil is very well done. This makes this song quite interesting. Download now.

The Game "Wake The Dead" (from The Doctors Advocate?)

This new Hip-Hop West Coast song from The Game is called "Wake The Dead" and is apparently from The Games upcoming album The Doctors Advocate. It is produced by Dr Dre and is said leaked by The Game to prove that Dr Dre is producing his album. It is still due on June 6th.

The album cover is unknown however I have posted what looks to be some art for it (below this post). To see this click here. Wake The Dead has an interesting sound to it and does not sound like one of Dr Dres usual productions. You can download the track below:

Edit: This song is said not to be from The Doctors Advocate but a rejected song from The Games last album The Documentary.

Doctors Advocate Album Cover??

Is this The Games album cover for the Doctors Advocate??. I was looking at http://www.kingsofla.com/site_/ (Lil Eazy Es website) and came across the makers of it. I looked at their album cover examples and saw this page with this Drs Advocate album cover with The Game on a road:


http://www.ekimdesigns.com/samples/album/game.jpg , could this be The Doctors Advocate Cover, comment now.

It also says Dr Advocate instead of Doctors Advocate so it might just be a mock up, however why would a design company just make an album cover for no reason?. Discuss.

Scott Storch Record Label and New Ice Cube Video

Scott Storch the producer will soon set up his own music record label. It will be called "Storchaveli". He is currently working on Paris Hiltons album (see link below) and will add Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke to his rosta of artists. This sounds like not just a Hip-Hop label, and more of an rnb one. It will be interesting to see how this turns up.

For the article about Paris Hilton click below:

musicandwestcoast.blogspot.com200603parishiltonthree6mafia.html

For a sample of Scott Storchs work, here is the video to"Why we thugs" by Ice Cube off his album laugh and and cry later. Ice Cube has apparently many beats from Dr Dre and Scott Storch and will be released in June:

Dr Dres interesting beats on "The Big Bang"

Dr Dre has some interesting beats on Busta Rhymes new album "The Big Bang" out on Aftermath on the April 25th. However Busta stated on BET that his newest album will be released on May 16th, 2006 - 4 days before his 34th birthday.

Busta Rhymes tells Rolling stones:

"Your Time Has Come." "Dre put the track together using the sound of a shovel going into dirt, dirt being poured onto a coffin and a heartbeat as the drum sound," Busta said in the interview. "It's about karma coming back to haunt you."

This seems very interesting, and one of the biggest albums in Hip-Hop this year.

Only one west coast artist in top 10!

In a review of April the 1st, about.com compiled a chart of the top rap and hip hop songs based on many different aspects. Alot of them are south with no west coast artist apart from Ice Cube. The south is doing so well as they are just doing their own thing, collaborating with different artists and self promoting. Not many southern artists do have any beef which is probably why they are doing so well.

The chart is as followed:

T.I. - What You Know
Juvenile - Get Ya Hustle On
Chamillionaire - Ridin'
Lil' Wayne - Hustler's Musik
Kanye West featuring Twista & Keyshia Cole - Impossible
Rhymefest - Dynomite (Going Postal)
Ice Cube - Why We Thugs
Ghostface featuring Ne-Yo - Back Like That
Mobb Deep featuring 50 Cent - Pearly Gates
Kanye West featuring Lupe Fiasco - Touch The Sky

Aftermaths G.A.G.E.

This isnt that new but a lot of people havent heard of Aftermaths newest hip hop artist G.A.G.E. However he isnt a west coast hip hop artist. He is from Philly (philadelphia) and there is no release date for his album yet which is called "The soundtrack to my life".

He is pictured on the right and you can download his song below, called "When we mob up". It has a very new sound and gage certainly has flow. Check it out:

Lil Eazy-E

This isnt new, but its for anyone who hasnt heard Eazy-Es son "Lil Eazy-E". It seems to be a trend, with Dr Dres son coming out aswell, however Lil Eazy-E seems to be taking it more seriously with an album coming out late summer.

It will be called "The Prince of Compton" and as said on his website:

"Lil Eazy E handpicked a batch of ultra-potent beats for The Prince of Compton from some of rap’s best beatsmiths, including Sha Money XL (50 Cent), Johnny J (2Pac), Cool & Dre (Fat Joe) and Megahurtz (Westside Connection). “My album is the new generation gangster,” Lil Eazy E says, “so it has a special significant sound."

Go to his website at http://www.kingsofla.com/ and enter to listen to some of his many tracks and see what you think.
