Freddie’s ode to the West Coast…the best coast…off Cold Day In Hell gets some nice visuals featuring producer/crooner Polyester and Dom Kennedy, who really epitomizes the current iteration of the west coast G sound. Definitely a smooth record that makes any of us stuck in the cold northwest region pine for that LA weather.
Plain and simple, Aloe Blacc has murdered everything he’s touched this year. He might be my artist of the year for 2010…well, if Yeezy didn’t release another 5 mic’er, but in any event, Aloe is up there. This time he lends a helping hand to the artist formerly known as Medaphor for “Where I’m From.”
So west coast. How come every video these days makes me remember college? I guess college is just the rap life…plus essays (no pun).
I love this record, particularly the chorus. More great music from our friendly neighbors to the north…Canadian hip-hop is kinda killin’ it these days.
206 stand up! New video from some of the best here in the NW. Be on the lookout for Dyme Def headed up and down the west best coast with Sai real soon.
Town bidness mayne…shout to 800lb.
Chyea, glad to see the long awaited mixtape from Shake and Meka over at 2DopeBoyz.com is finally here.

Check the tracklisting yourself:

I’m not up on the battle scene as much as I used to be, but I still respect what these guys do. When a dude is really going off the top and tears someone apart, it’s a sight to behold. Shout to my guy Tunj who used to do that on the regular back in our college days. Anyway, this is a trailer for the Fresh Coast Battle Documentary DVD that drops later this year. There are lots of dope MC’s from the best coast involved with this, so be on the lookout when it’s released. For more info, hit up Phillip Drummond at phillipdrummond01@yahoo.com
Shout to Okwerdz for sending this over.
