5. There's a new group out of Oakland called The Team who's real hot right now, they have this single called "Everybody In Tha Club" that's on fire and KMEL is supporting it to certain extent. These kids have definite crossover potential. Their working on their debut "The Negro League" coming out on Moe Doe Entertainment ( The same label as Keak Da Sneak) I'm defeinitley expecting a very good album from them this October.

6. More Oakland kids building a buzz, respectively, are Balance and Esinchill. Balance is a smart dude and rolls with Fronline. He's a got a strong voice and good vocal presence, but I actually see him making more of an impact behind the scenes. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see me and him working on something together in the new future (maybe a Frontline album??? LOL!) The other cat, Esinchill, is receiving his recognition from just straying form the norm. He's one some other shit, almost, sorta like Devin, but not really. You gotta hear him to get what I'm sayin', but I'm definitely feelin' him.

Other mentions deserved are Rick Rock's Federation, they've got a deal with Virgin and their album comes out in October. You have to believe that Rick would save his best production for his own gain, so expect some heat. I just wish he'd help out the scene a little more like E-A-Ski does. Speaking of, E-A-Ski he just dropped a past and present mix cd that's hard as fuck. Ski's got dope tracks and what's even better, he fucks with the new kids. What he should do is grab one of them and maybe some real moves would be made.

Well, that's about all for now, I handled mine. It's time for ya'll to do your part.

FUCK EVERYBODY(tm)
