All to often those hidden stereotypes around what’s labeled “West Coast Music/Artists” (and their sound), tend to hinder great artists from getting heard. Step out that box, and be introduced to a talent that just happens to reside on the West Coast.  Ab-Soul. A Carson, California resident with a unique style and creative flow brings “New Air” to the rap world. With the release of his mixtape project “Long Term” in 2008, it was known he’d be a standing presence. Now with the 2010 mixtape release of “Long Term 2: Lifestyles of the Broke & Almost Famous”, his style continues to solidify not only his presence, but his place in the game. Check out the latest video from Long Term 2“Turn Me Up” featuring Kendrick Lamar, and produced by Tae Beast. Download “Long Term 2” and keep up with Ab-Soul on Twitter.

Kendrick Lamar (EP) is another one I’ve had in heavy rotation on the ipod. Is It Love is the track that pulls you in. There’s a lot of good stuff coming from the West, and Kendrick Lamar is adding to the count.  Keep killin ‘em.  The first time I heard of Jerome D was when he shot that Carter Video, and I knew it wasn’t going to be the last time.  Kendrick Lamar’sShe Needs Me is another dope video from his latest projects. Don’t sleep on Jerome D.  I’m sure you’ll be knocking on his door soon. Download Kendrick Lamar – Kendrick Lamar (EP) on BandCamp. BIG thanks Kendrick Lamar for making good music.
