With Tower Records out of business Im pretty sure this kind of uber-popular West Coast gangster shit has become a much more regional phenomenon than it ever was before, but regardless the mob figaz, lee majors, cellski, yukmouth etc remain pretty underrepresented for the quality of the music theyre dropping. This kind of shit should be huge nationally (& on some level it is — see Murder Dog’s cover story on Jacka from a couple months back) but without that kind of national distro these artists are gonna have to learn to adapt to the internets & start pushing nationally that way, at least if they expect to get some magazine cover love. start here: http://twitter.com/theJacka
