The CEO of the West Coast is Taking Over Hip Hop & Entertainment (News)

The CEO Of The West Coast is taking the Hip Hop and entertainment industry by storm. Some have compared him to a cross between Charlie Sheen, Howard Stern, and Eminem, or if the 90s and early 2000s MTV was a person.

One Of The First “Viral Stars” back in MySpace days, he is also a hometown hero of Lodi California with a burger named after him “The CEO Burger.” Although related to Eminem, he found his own way into the industry without coat-tailing or piggybacking.

CEO has worked with C-B, Rappin 4-Tray, Clyde Carson, Ren Da Heatmonsta, J. Stalin, Kokane, Shade 45’s Rude Jude, Sacramento Kings’ DJ Eddie Z, E-Roc of Trick Trick’s Smoke Gang, the Late Saint Dog, Stoner Jordan, Black Market Records, and countless others. His career in radio began on News on the Streets on AZTV 7 and Turnt Up! TV on MyTV 26 Modesto (returning next year on Amazon Prime), and now The CEO Show on Sirius XM which is taking over the scene worldwide in over 60 countries.

Fun fact; The CEO of the West Coast is also known for his comedic sets, politically incorrect humor and views, outspoken opinions against PC culture, Cancel culture, the war on drugs, and even skinny jeans.

ARIANA GRANDE – POSITIONS

As Ariana is growing with her music, I can’t help but to love her more and more. Such a talent and stays with the dopest features and nice vibes throughout the whole album.

BUSTA RHYMES – EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT 2: THE WRATH OF GOD

Not only am I super excited for Busta Rhymes to drop part 2 from 1998’s Extinction Level Event 1! Then listening to the album has me in total awe. First, shoutout to Busta Rhymes for copying 21 Savages style with including Chris Rock on his album. Wait, dope ass features with BBD, M.O.P., Rick Ross and even Minister Farrakhan speaks, and others. Overall this is a dope project. Yes it doesn’t compare to the first Extinction Level Event, but the 2nd half of the album does get LIT! Busta is an artist who is not going anywhere nor getting rid of his lyrical flows.

SAM SMITH – LOVE GOES

What I enjoy about Sam Smith’s music is that you can feel it in your soul, and is very relatable. This album feels like the soundtrack to just about everybody’s life and experiences in this crazy year of 2020. Of course Sam made sure to include some dance tracks while belting out heart felt lyrics provides the recipe to a great album.

WIZKID – MADE IN LAGOS

It’s been 3 years since WizKid has dropped his own album. Now we did get some great music from him a couple months ago when Beyonce re-released the Lion King soundtrack, but it just wasn’t all WizKid tho! Just like his last album be prepared to groove with the tight riddims on this project. Even the intro had me ready to slow wine imagining I am on an island somewhere! Great project overall…I always expect the best work from WizKid.

KING VON – WELCOME TO O’BLOCK

One thing I love about King Von is he is a story teller. He will have you thinking you are there in Chicago! On this project expect to hear from mainly Chicago artists which is very dope, always represent for your hometown especially when the love is being returned back! This project is definitely a step up from his previous work, and overall I like it.

TRIPPIE REDD – PEGASUS

I do not know what people was complaining about? I like this album. Trippie does come off with a more calmer and quieter sound than on his previous work, but the sound works for him. I think he has mastered his cadence in music for no matter how he changes it up, it still comes together and sounds great! Of course he has all the dope features including Cleveland’s own, Doe Boy, who has a project coming out November 6th. If you are a true fan of Trippie Redd you will definitely enjoy this album as well.

COMMON – A BEAUTIFUL REVOLUTION

Common always thinks outside of the box and stay dropping music that makes you think and vibe for the production is always dope! Honestly can’t find nothing negative about music that is supposed to uplift you especially during these crazy times.

MADEINTYO – NEVER FORGOTTEN

I look at MadeinTYO like a new version of TY Dolla $ign. They’re both dope with the productions and can make decent albums for themselves! Now I was shocked to see that the producer had came out with an album. Now I am so happy! LOL Forreal this album totally is a banger. Each track will have you boppin your head, plus with features from a mixture of people like J Balvin to Cam’ron to even Wiz Khalifa.

LIL KEED – TRAPPED ON CLEVELAND 3 DELUXE

I am not going to say too much about this deluxe version for I spoke highly on the regular album when it came out. Since 2020 is the year for all these deluxe albums Lil Keed said shit why not? LOL The new songs that he has added on the deluxe add to the already flavored album. Basically saying Lil Keed is LIT.

JIMMY VALENTIME & URBAN MIRACLE – DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE

You can tell that Jimmy is straight into old school hip hop which nothing is wrong with that for I do like how he blends it with the current style of hip hop now. The first 3 tracks had me wondering what was I getting into, but then the song “Porch Lights” comes on and I found myself vibing to it hard. Next thing I know the rest of the album was dope! This is one of the reasons why I love to listen to albums, for 1 single truly does not give an artist any justice.

JALEN FRAZIER – EXPRESSIONS OF THE NEGLECTED

The Midwest knows how to come thru with some good music and dope lyrics. That’s what Jalen did with this project. I feel like this is the best ending to a TGIF! I am glad this artist reached out to me, and that I actually took the time to check him out. After your first listen I bet that you will not be disappointed at all.

Goodie Mob Announce New Album featuring: André 3k, Big Boi and Chuck D

Goodie Mob Announced New Album!

Goodie Mob Announce New Album Survival Kit Featuring André 3000, Big Boi, and Chuck D

This Dungeon Family reunion arrives November 13th, just in time for Thanksgiving


Just in time for Thanksgiving, Goodie Mob have announced a kind of #DungeonFamily reunion. Their new album Survival Kit drops November 13th, and will feature guest verses from old collaborators André 3000Big Boi, and #BigRube, as well as the legend #ChuckD. Production was handled by the Family crew Organized Noize.

If the four members of Goodie Mob, the three producers in #OrganizedNoize, the two representatives of #OutKast, and Rube did come together at a Thanksgiving feast, their roles would be clear: #André3000 and #BigBoi are the brothers who don’t talk anymore; Khujo and T-Mo are cousins who’re closer than brothers; Organized Noize cook and carve the turkey; Big Rube delivers the blessing; #BigGipp loudly says, “Their eyes are red!” after you and your cousin come back from a walk; and #CeeLoGreen is the creepy uncle you hope your mom doesn’t make you hug.

This party is at Goodie Mob’s house, and it’s their first album since 2013’s Age Against the Machine. Survival Kit is 16 tracks long, and was written in part as a response to police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement. In a statement, T-Mo said, “Right now, just seeing all of our people on TV marching and protesting and being shot at, bottles and stuff being chucked at the police, people burning down buildings and looting because we’re tired of all of the injustices.”

Check out the artwork and tracklist below (above). Previously, #GoodieMob shared the singles “Frontline” and “Are You Ready” with Chuck D. In other Dungeon Family news, Big Boi and Sleepy Brown (Organized Noize) are working on a new collaborative album The Big Sleepover, and so far they’ve released the songs “Intentions”“Can’t Sleep”, and “We the Ones (Remix)” featuring #KillerMike.

You can literally play this project from beginning to the end without skipping a track, if this is the type of energy you search for! They. only has 3 features including my girl Tinashe, Wale, and Juicy J. With quality production and real stories to tell in a dope vibe wins every time!!

DEJ LOAF – SELL SOLE II

It’s been a awhile since we heard from Detroit’s own Dej Loaf! I admit being a newbie with a breakout hit that changed the game for her is quite overwhelming to any artist for everyone will be expecting the exact same thing when that’s not realistic! You can tell that Dej has evolved on this project, especially with sounding so transparent. I don’t even want to mention who her features are LOL I literally want yall to check her album out. PERIOD!

DAVE EAST – KARMA 3 (DELUXE)

This project was already dope AF! Now Dave decided to follow in the common trend of this year by coming out with a deluxe version of his album Karma 3! Honestly, I am excited fr. This just made the original project much better with adding a remix LOL This is definitely a must listen.

CHANEL WESTCOAST – AMERICA’S SWEETHEART

I can’t even lie…I was anxious to hear Chanel’s project! Overall I am happily surprised, and she isn’t on here trying to be the dopest lyricist ever or have a trillion Black rappers featured just to so how down she is. To be down isn’t something that can be staged, and what I am getting from this project is a piece of Chanel’s life outside of MTV’s Ridiculous. Congratulations Chanel! This project is nice, and you will be shocked to hear the tone of her voice on this project too.

COMETHAZINE – BAWSKEE 4

I just want to input some fire flames all in this comment section! Comethazine came hard on this project…he letting you know that you can’t count him out PERIOD!!!

CERAADI – #GRWM

This ep is really dope! I totally enjoyed it …I am anxious to hear more of them in the future!

Who Are Dr. EnQi and Dame Dash Exposing? (News)

Never before has a video been this gripping and exciting to watch or listen to. The Conscious community has been exposed over and over again as scammers and hustlers. 

In the video below Dr. EnQi shows how black lives really don’t matter to these snakes. Brother Panic says “wanting to do something for your people will stop you from reaching Heaven or a Successful Death”. Dame Dash exposes the fact that Bro. Rich idolizes drug dealers and killers, he is pretending to be conscious to funnel “conscious community money” into living the life of a pseudo drug dealer/rapper. Dame allowed Rich to hang himself with his own lust, by highlighting that disrespecting women and pouring champagne on “hoes” looks fun. 

Bobby Hemmit who is Brother Panic’s teacher was a known sociopath who was selling black people angel checks and telling people not to invest in their health holistically or participate in the Western modalities. He is quoted as telling people that aliens can rescue them from cancer and cola can save them from heart attacks.

Dr. EnQi shows Brother Panic literally stealing his “IP” in hopes of stealing his audience for profit and the poisoning of the black conscious community. Bro. Panic is stating in plain English that creating black businesses or wanting to improve the lives of “your people” will damn you to hell. This is clearly the work of “the other side”, especially while Brother Panic solicits donations and support for his “black business” in the name of teaching “his” people. Isn’t he dooming himself to hell?

Many people have claimed that people were swagger jacking, biting, or stealing their swag but never before has someone literally been caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Dr. EnQi literally shows the pages of his book that Panic is stealing from. A concubine of Brother Panic’s said in the chat that Enqi is a liar and a hater, she said Brother Panic identifies the authors which were blown out the water when Enqi shows that even the authors he is claiming are just being read from his book!

Tune in below.

Righteous – Radios (Video) Ft. Edo G x G Dot & Born x Dominique

Righteous “The Administrator of Truth” enlists Edo. G, G Dot & Born, and Dominique Gorley for the second release (video) of his new EP entitled ‘Be Conscious Of.’

“Radios” produced by DJ Corbett exudes a classic boom-bap, head-nodding impression with a soulful chorus that amplifies the energy from Righteous, Edo. G, G Dot & Born.  The animated visuals set the tone for a chill-vibe, a feeling radios used to emanate but somehow lost that grip along the way.

During a time where the world is oversaturated with conceit, greed, killings, and lust, “Radios” transcends us back when music allowed us to unite and vibe off each other.  Press play for that experience and connect with Righteous below.

Mariah also has a new book that was just released this week as well that I do plan on reading over the weekend. As I get older, I totally appreciate seeing the evolvement of such a talented artist as time goes on.
