House Nation! CD

This album features West Coast Rap sound that is unique to the Bay Area. It features true mob music, fly-boy sounds, playerism, and some ghetto humor to round it off. Most importantly, this album is Sideshow Official. The ghetto album of the year has the Bay Area in "swerve mode". The CD:Production by Dj Sham. An Eazy E disciple, but not from LA. After working in LA for others, he returned to his Bay Area Roots and decided to start his own production company and studio. Several artists came to his studio (War Room Studio) in Richmond, CA. But he soon realized that some of the most talented artists had no backing. The hard-core artists, the ones who were from the streets and didn't have anything but the hustle they lived by... didn't have a way to get their music out there. So.... Sham took action. He took these unheard of artists and refined their skills. Then he produced the kind of M.O.B. music that oozes with confidence and realness. The result: Ice-Cold HeatMobb Music:If you like Mobb music (If you like M.O.B music), you must get this album. Not only is it in the trunk, but the fire given by Detrimental, Big Mel, and Family Business makes this a hood classic. Detrimental makes an impression with 5 tracks that jump out at you. He starts the album out with "Gettin' It" and simply gets sicker as the album goes along. Gettin' It tells of his experiences makin money in the streets of Richmond. He ends his contributions with "Put That on Somethin'" which showcases Dj Sham's ability to not only put out mob music, but to make it fly enough to floss and sparkle. Detrimental has a solo album coming out called "Hazardous to Your Health". Peep the PaperTrail website to stay posted (http:// papertrailmusic ).
