In conjunction with Mad Science Music, Fontana and Universal, legendary producer/rapper DJ Quik and Kurupt will deliver a full length album entitled Blaqkout on June 9, 2009. The two West Coast legends have worked intermittently over the years and per Quik’s insistence, are now set to drop a West Coast bomb.

“Kurupt does in rap what I do in music,” DJ Quik says. “It just made sense. Kurupt is a gangster rapper in the sense of being raw, bare-bones and uncut. I wanted to do music that evoked certain feelings and could show his microphone superiority.”

The first single, “Hey Playa,” (Morroacan Blues – below), was inspired by an episode of “Bizarre Foods” with Andrew Zimmern, while “Do You Know,” Kurupt’s favorite, speaks to the Philafornia emcee on a more personal level.

“That’s my favorite record on the album because it’s the closest to where I am in my life right now,” Kurupt says. “It’s what I call grown folk music. It’s real mature and it’s the truth.”

In addition to Quik, who produces the majority of the album, Southern Cali newcomer Terrace Martin adds to the mix.

“HEY PLAYA”

Erick and Parrish are still in business of making dollars and fittingly, the title of their new album is We Mean Business. The December 9th Fontana distributed release will be their first full lenght album since 1999’s Out Of Business.

“The CD is fuckin’ crazy. The shit is bangin’. Like, I ain’t gonna lie to you. It’s real Hip Hop shit for real Hip Hop heads. If you a Hip Hop head, it’s hard to hate the CD. You’re gonna be excited, trust me,” said Sermon.

We Mean Business boasts features from the likes of Redman, Havoc (Mobb Deep), Raekwon, KRS-One and 9th Wonder among others. Below is their lead single, “Run It,” featuring KRS One and in the spirit of Throwback Thursdays, we felt it appropriate to add some old school knock.
