From Snoop to Dre to Crooked Eye and everyone in between on the West Coast the west is sTIll not what it should be. However, that may not be the case for too long. The emergence of the new generaTIon breeds hope into the future of the West Coast that seems to be on a struggling upsurge.

When Whitney said, “the children are the future” she wasn’t lying. New arrivals to the mainstream industry, Fratt House, vow to bring the West Coast back to its original state. During an interview the two guys that comprise Fratt House; E Money (E short for Eric and Money because he wants money) and GB(short for gold and black his favorite colors) discussed their thoughts and opinions about the East, West, and how their changing the game.

What’s up guys? Tell me a little bit about yourselves.
I’m GB. I like to rap, naw I’m just playing. I’m a crazy gangsta, I’m a thug like Tupac.

Okay. How old are you and how did you get into the whole rap game?
I’m 23. The whole family is in the rap game and it’s something I’ve been doing my whole life.

E Money why don’t you tell me how you got into the rap game?
I’m 23 and I’ve been doing music since I was 16. Everybody knows Snoop is my cousin and RBX is GB’s dad. It’s in the blood. We had to do it. We’re just carrying the torch.

That’s cool. So why do you guys call yourselves Fratt House?
GB: First of all we were PSC first but than TI came out with PSC. We still rep our set PSC but it’s the Fratt House because we some wild, gangsta, crazy take the house and tear apart kind of people.

Understandable, with that type of attitude what type of sound does your music have.
E Money: Our music is like we took it back a little bit and gave it like a new school twist. Remember when the Dogg Pound first came out back in the day not giving a fuck disrespecting anybody that had anything bad to say about the West. We took that method at the same time putting it with a new school twist. Everybody at the time back in the day when Tupac and Biggie had their beef, the West Coast was really the thing. After that they(East Coast) tried to say it was the West fault and they(East) picked up the torch and ran with it. They took our style and flipped it and put it with their style. So what we did is we took our style back gave it a new twist and gave it something everybody gonna love. Continued on page 2 »
