West Coast Breaking

So much classic footage in the clip above, from the quintessential documetary on B-Boying - "The Freshest Kids".

Visit QD3 Entertainment for tonnes of snippets from all their projects and much more.

Drivin Down The Block (Westcoast remix)

The cover's kinda cool (love the Roscoe's House of Chicken N Waffles signage, shout to Anotha Level), but you know that Kidz In The Hall, Masta Ace, Pusha T (The Clipse), The Cool Kids, Bun B, Pacific Division, Tyga, Glasses Malone, Mistah F.A.B. all on the one track is reigning bananas.

So for all those who didn't recieve the press release (shout out to Matt @ MAC Media). The story behind the remix is while Kidz In The Hall producer Double O was on a roadtrip (beginning in New Jersey), he concocted a monsterous instrumental, with the intention of travelling the USA with Naledge and putting their favourite rappers all on one record.

It's an ill idea. I haven't heard the track yet myself, but the line-up looks DOPE!

Download the West Coast Drivin Down The Block remix.

Kidz In The Hall The In Crowd is in stores now, out through Major League / Duck Down records.
