Cali native Dom Kennedy returns with his latest effort, the LDB produced ‘Posted In The Club’.
Congrats are in order for Jay 305, who has just inked a record deal with Interscope Records. The West Coast rapper started building a buzz last year thanks to his affiliation with Dom Kennedy’s Other People’s Money label, and caught the attention of execs like Interscope exec Joie Manda, who I noticed tweeted about Jay last week. “He’s got a different perspective,” Interscope publicist Ray Alba said in a statement. “He’s older and wiser than a lot of young cats and been through some sh*t. His perspective and his story is going to be what’s refreshing in West Coast hip-hop.” The west is on fire right now, and hopefully Jay will only add more fuel to it. Congrats again! (Although per our previous Twitter convo, I still think your rap name sounds like an AIM screenname, LOL!)
After the release of Eminem’s ‘Detroit Vs. Everybody.’ Snoop Dogg drops a fantasy line-up for a potential ‘Los Angeles Vs. Everybody,’ with Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, The Creator, The Game, YG, Problem, Nipsey Hussle and Dom Kennedy. No word on of or when this is really happening. If this goes down, will there be a “New York Vs. Everybody” line-up? “Atlanta Vs. Everybody?” We can only dream. Check out the artwork in the gallery.
