Dudadamthang grew a solid fanbase over the past few years with consistent Instagram, YouTube, freestyles, and videos. He is known for his prolific wordplay and rhyming ability. His new video “25th & Duhd” displays his connection to the city of San Bernardino and Hip Hop. Next to blow out of the Dino? I think so, check the new visual out!
In my opinion, there is no smoother duo lyrically over a beat than Trizz and Pomona Drey. Each can stand-alone bar for bar with many different styles. But there is something magnetic that happens when these two connect. Like on the previously released track “Myself” this collab has proven to be desired by the fans. On this new single “Die Tonight” which was produced by @pomonadrey, the duo lyrically glide over the smooth but heavy baseline track. Trizz has been on a steady run promoting his latest drops “Basline Cavi” and “Trizzmas“, as well as shows and feature appearances. While Pomona Drey hasn’t been lacking either. Honing in on his production skills, the “Pomona vs. Everybody” MC seems to be more focused and driven with new energy. Check out the new single, the project “Independent Behavior” will be dope!
Mozzy drops a new single while still serving his 1-year prison term. The new single “Every Night” features Baby Mozzy, and shows that Mozzy has plans to shake things up when he returns. Throughout his time away it seemed as if he was prepared and had enough visuals to keep his name alive while away. There have been pictures and reports of his well-being while serving his term. A term he turned himself in for so that he could return and get back to dropping music without any hindrance for travel and business. Check the new joint out!
WCS has learned the sad news that West Coast singer and musician, Uncle Chucc, of the 1500 or Nothin’crew has passed away. No word on the cause but it’s heartbreaking regardless. Uncle Chucc collaborated with many West Coast artists and appeared on songs with Snoop Dogg, my favorite being “Neva Hafta 2 Wurry” off of the Ego Trippin’ album. Jason Martin, a writer on that very song tweeted the sad news Friday morning. If you are unfamiliar with Chucc’s catalog, you should look it up. Such a great talent.
Our heart goes out to Uncle Chucc’s family and friends and to the 1500 or Nothin’ collective.
Knoc makes his return with a new video, “Ain’t Enough Time”. Talented newcomer Meezy Mays comes along for the assist. Shout-out to MASH.

Jay Luckk and Wiggle Nation are looking to stamp their city. Hemet is a suburb 30 min south of Moreno Valley. As part of the Inland Empire, it is emerging as a place ripe with talent. Jay Luckk’s new project “Don’t Call It Luckk” is one of those tapes that play straight through, with no skips, a rare find in the time of streaming where EPs and singles are dominant. Jay Luckk’s “Don’t Call It Luckk” is packed with a hot 17 songs. Stand-out tracks are “I’m From Hemet” feat. frequent collaborator Spank Nitty James, who also is from Hemet. “Respectfully” feat. Youn Note, “Closer To My Dreams“, “Wake Yo Game Up” feat. Mitchy Slick, and “F**k It Look Like” feat. LaDuce. The project was produced by Jay Luiz @prodjayluiz which provided a soundscape of open space and hard-hitting drums for the flows and cadences that poke out through the speakers. The rap game will have to dial into what is happening out in the Inland Empire and its emerging cities this project proves that.
West Coast legend, Dazzie Dee has been on a solid run as of late. He began with his initial release of the “Baking Soda” EP in Oct. 2022. The EP was well-received, Dazzie Dee also released a few videos for the popular singles “30 Years Later” and “Daddy Daughter Day.”
Dazzie continues his rollout with a huge remix! and West Coast Styles has the exclusive. 30 Days Later remix features members from The Lench Mob, The Alkaholiks, and Jurassic 5 member Akil The MC and is set to drop Tuesday night at 12 midnight. I spoke with Dazzie Dee after reviewing the track he and the other featured MCs wanted to do something special and bring a different vibe from the original track. It turned out that it was a perfect concept to celebrate the life and legacy of all the artists and a very special tribute during a featured verse on the track for the recently passed Coolio who had a relationship with most if not all artists on the remix. The original production was handled by WestCoast Stone, however, Dazzie Dee has rearranged the track to fit the feature lineup and deliver a classic high-energy record that will definitely make waves and be loved by the DJ’s.
JDee of Da Lench Mob dropped this new project over the weekend. Cali Connected is a 7 track project that is perfect for those longer to hear new music with a traditional West Coast sound. Listen below!

Death Row Cannabis, the cannabis brand of Death Row Records, the label was recently acquired and relaunched by Snoop Dogg and affiliates.
In partnership with TRP LLC, Death Row Cannabis hand-selected the creme de la creme of Los Angeles’ cannabis cultivars to drop their first release at 3 of Cookies dispensaries across Southern California. The Death Row brand name has been retrofitted ahead of the release for today’s audience and evolving tastes in cannabis, utilizing music industry creatives such as MylarMen and Kevin Gilliam aka DJ Battlecat to merge the brand’s music and cannabis legacies. Death Row Cannabis looks forward to debuting curated high-wattage strains including Strawberry Gary for the first time ever, along with beloved strains like SFV OG, Trop Cherry, and LA Runtz. The brand expects long lines as their loyal fans, weed connoisseurs and the canna-curious will be eager to get their hands on bags of their quality premium cannabis.
For over 30 years, through countless chart-topping hits and landmark artists, Death Row Records (www.deathrowofficial.com) has stood as one of the music industry’s most iconic and culturally significant platforms. Today, it is under powerful new management. Recently acquired by Snoop Dogg, the infamous musical empire has reemerged as a multi-category cultural platform across music, fashion, entertainment, and cannabis, all united by the blockchain for a new generation.
Today at 8AM PT, their first cannabis drop will be announced on social media at @DeathRowRecords and @DeathRowCannabis, using an animation of their globally recognized logo and reveal of their branded pre-roll tube. The teaser video was created by artist MylarMen with a soundtrack by Kevin Gilliam aka DJ Battlecat. The 22-second clip is sure to electrify the global fans of the label while being a buzzy beginning of Death Row Records’ domination of the weed nation.
Promising to return Death Row to its former glory, all elements of the former label are being refitted for today’s audience and their evolving tastes. The first drop debuts in limited edition commemorative metallic bags, featuring the iconic hooded prisoner figure seated in an electric chair on the front. Important to note: this is a brand new version of the prisoner that was designed for the launch of the cannabis brand – the main difference being he has one hand broken free and is smoking a fat doobie.
Another especially exciting note for those cannabis connoisseurs is the man responsible for curating Death Row Cannabis. AK – hand-selected by Snoop himself – is a longtime West Coast legacy cultivator and industry insider, best known for his role alongside former partner WizardTrees in sprouting, selecting, and expertly growing the RS11, Studio 54, and Shirazi strains from exotic cannabis breeder DEO. He’s the man behind the IYKYK brand SMKRS (@smkrs_LA), and he is also well known as the VP of Cultivation for TRP LLC, who owns a majority of the Cookies stores across the nation including their facilities in Florida. AK’s reputation for growing “fire” weed and his palette when it comes to selecting winning strains, keeps people camped out in lines in front of their dispensaries.
Launching in stores next week, Death Row Cannabis is not one to keep its fans waiting. The brand will soon make an announcement with an exact date and location for its debut drop. Select Cookies California stores (Brentwood, San Bernardino, and San Diego) will be the first locations to carry Death Row Cannabis, with other locations and more states to follow soon.
