Needs to be on iTunes: Federation – Glisten’n
The Federation has to be one of the most versatile groups out West. Anything that Doonie Baby, Goldie Gold, or Stressmatic appears on, I’ll be sure to check out.
I think I like the group so much because they aren’t afraid to take chances with their music. From rapping over some heavy-metal to a smoother type [...]
Needs to be on iTunes: Hot Dollar - Get Naked
I’m a big fan of Hot Dollar. He’s got a certain quality that’s lacking on the West Coast. I think he can fill a niche and be quite successful with the right push from Jermaine Dupri. Take for example the track Get Naked. It’s by far my favorite track Hot Dollar has done. It’s so [...]
Needs to Be on iTunes: Quiz - Vote For me (Feat. Glasses Malone)
There is so much good much coming out of the West Coast, that sometimes I miss artists. Quiz from Los Angeles is a perfect example. For one reason or another, I just never got around to checking out what dude had to offer. That was a big mistake because Quiz has heaters. This week’s episode [...]

Needs to be on iTunes: Bad Lucc – Bang that Shit
I’ve been a fan of Bad Lucc since I heard DJ Skee play Were U Frum a couple years back. Coming from Watts California, Lucc has some real hardcore street music that gets you amped up and angry. Today’s song that needs to be on iTunes is entitled Bang that shit and you can download [...]
West Coast artists need to embrace Digital Distribution
The Music industry is in a great state of upheaval right now. With the advent and popularization of digital distribution, artists no longer need major labels to get their products into the hands of consumers. Instead of embracing the many advantages of digital distribution, the music industry has generally dropped the ball and stuck with [...]
Needs to be on iTunes: George Clinton - Congratulations
George Clinton is the Godfather of West Coast Rap. The West is where it’s at today thanks in LARGE part due to Clinton’s influence. His music has been used countless times, and I don’t even think I could name off all the West Coast classics that have sampled Atomic Dog. This is a new song [...]
Needs to Be on iTunes: Damani – What’s For Lunch
Today’s episode of Song’s I want to buy, but can’t deals with a recently released track by Damani called What’s For Lunch. Nima over at DubCnn uploaded it the first week of March and you can download it by clicking here. Even though this song is free, I’d be more than willing to pay the [...]
Needs to be on iTunes: Hot Dollar – Ball Hard (Feat Jay Rock)
Today’s episode of Song’s I want to buy, but can’t deals with a recently released track by Hot Dollar. The name of the track is Ball Hard and it features one the hottest up and coming artists out of California: Jay Rock. Over an excellent and soulful track, the rappers trade verses about the trials [...]
Y.A. Something On Spokes Needs to be on Itunes
Today’s episode of good songs that I want to buy, but cant is about Roscoe and Kurupts group :Y.A.
Their song Sittin on Spokes is just a good classic West Coast track. It’s nothing too special, but it hits right and Roscoe steals the show as always.
I’d be willing to spend a buck to play this [...]
