Pomona icons Suga Free and Kokane have worked together before on other West Coast classic songs we all know and love. The SugaKane album has been talked about for a few years. Many thought it was a unicorn and would never manifest. But! it’s here and it’s everything we hoped it would be.
Suga Free is masterful as usual with his pace heavy flow and game-laced wordplay. Kokane adds the silk to each song and delivers with his signature hooks and adlibs. This combination with no interruptions is something to be celebrated. The production is perfection with several remakes to 70’s and 80’s funk classics the Pimpish duo effortlessly glide over.
All in all, this is a win for West Coast Hip Hop and Hip Hop en-general. When two players meet oh what a treat. Check this album out!
Bay Area artist and Thizz Nation representative J Diggs just dropped a bombshell on culture commentator and artist manager Wack 100. This isn’t the first Wack 100 diss song, but to date, it is proven to be the most heard. Diggs held nothing back on the diss everything from the beat selection to the lyrics and the video itself, are sharp and meant to deliver a hefty blow.
Wack 100 has been attempting to make a name for himself outside of music management by talking on the once-popular mobile app Clubhouse. Clubhouse sprung to popularity during the height of the pandemic when most were stuck in their house or on long vacations around the world. Wack seemingly took this as an opportunity to be heard. But instead of using it to drive business and raise the western region to its once-prominent music industry dominance, Wack decided to take the Ricky Lake, and Wendy Williams route.
There have been many disappointing and embarrassing moments sense. The West Coast can definitely benefit from getting back to making music that influences the world. But for now, we will put this “3 Finger Wack” track on repeat. The track pulls from the 50 Cent mega-hit “In Da Club” from the early ’00s and was produced by Sean T. Digg’s brings out what looks like the entire Bay Area for this video, which was shot and edited by Bub The SOP.
The Killer Inc. CEO has lost a step and in fact, has shifted into another gear. This newest street single “Started From Scratch” Snoppy Badazz holds no punches. The track is a stark reminder of how tricky this game can get and how Snoopy Badazz has been able to maneuver through all the hate and toxic politics that still plague the west coast, keeping the region from its once dominate reign in music and culture.

Recently West Coast emcee Vicasso spoke about his music and its recent spread across Compton and the rest of LA. Bringing a true sense of lyricism and devotion to the craft of making music, Vicasso has embodied the essence of rappers like Nas, Mausberg, and Nipsey into a sound that’s his own.
Hailing from Compton, Vicasso’s music is heavily influenced by his personal experiences living in Compton and what life is like in LA. His songs are often uplifting and inspirational, offering hope and encouragement to those facing challenging times.
If you’re looking for music that will motivate and inspire you, look no further than Vicasso who has his own lane of music that the world needs.
“I know that my lane of making conscious music isn’t the fastest way to getting to where I want to go with this music, but I’m more focused on the lyricism aspect of this music and I’m looking to really have an impact as far as how my lyrics are taken and used by the listeners,” Vicasso said.
In addition to spreading positive messages about health and wellness, Vicasso’s music is also uplifting and inspirational. His songs often tell stories about overcoming adversity and achieving success. The messages in his music have helped many people through tough times in their lives – including himself.
Vicasso was diagnosed with cancer in 2014 and given six months to live. However after researching alternative treatments, he found the work of Dr. Sebi, an herbalist who developed a natural plant-based diet and lifestyle regimen that has been used to successfully treat numerous diseases. He incorporates that way of living and treating the body into his music to this day.
“I didn’t want to accept the doctors’ prognosis so I began to research alternative treatments and came across the work of Dr. Sebi, a natural healer who developed a plant-based diet and herbal remedies to treat diseases,” Vicasso explained.
Dr. Sebi’s teachings on natural food and medicine have had a profound influence on Vicasso’s music. His music is full of positive messages about staying healthy and taking care of your body. He encourages his fans to eat right and exercise..
Now Vicasso is sharing his story with the world in hopes of inspiring others to heal themselves through natural foods but also through the way people think and move in the world.
Vicasso’s message is simple: “Food is medicine. By eating the right foods, we can prevent and heal disease. My story is proof that these teachings work. For anyone looking to improve their health or heal from an illness, I’m showing fans the way.”
This is an inspiring example of how even the most dire of circumstances can be overcome. His story has shown us that a healthy lifestyle and natural remedies through Dr. Sebi’s teachings are powerful tools to beat cancer, no matter what type it is.
Vicasso hopes his story will continue to inspire others who have been diagnosed with cancer to believe in themselves and make positive changes for their health and well-being.
