Since Tupac's All Eyes On Me
Daz Dillinger
Los
Angeles, CA (BlackNews.com) - Super Producer Daz Dillinger
creates one of the biggest West Coast street buzzes with the
upcoming CD Dillinger & Young Gotti. Daz decides to honor
West Coast radio by giving Los Angeles' New KDAY, 93.5 FM
50 CDs. And Kday will be giving these highly anticipated CDs
at their Halloween Bash at World On Wheels . This CD is considered
to be the biggest Street West Coast Record since Tupac's All
Eyez On Me. Some tying the connection to Daz because of his
multi-platinum production of All Eyez on Me. Yet many music
lovers are stating that Daz has single handedly brought back
the West Coast street buzz as Ice Cube once did with Amerikkka's
Most Wanted. Everyone is buzzing about "Dillinger & Young
Gotti" official release date November 1st. Daz Dillinger explains,
"I really didn't expect the buzz, because there is little
to no promotion for the album. I really expected people to
appreciate my work based on word of mouth alone, and sometimes
that doesn't get the instant gratification that the Big record
labels can get. But it's gratifying for me to continue to
create music that specifically caters to my niche - the streets."
In
an industry dominated by new and young talent, it's
not easy for a rapper and a producer with a career spanning
more than ten years to be taken seriously. Often times
the rapper and producer is just merely respected, but
not recognized by his peers and fans to give a relevant
record. Yet this year, music industry insiders are admitting
that Daz Dillinger not only created a very relevant
record, but has mastered the art of business, by keeping
his record very independent. Daz Dillinger reveals,
"It's tough in the Hip Hop industry to continue to create,
because the powers that be want a throw away art. They
didn't think Rap Music would even last. So instead of
trying to get rid of rap music, because everyone benefits
from it. They try to get rid of seasoned rappers, at
a point in their careers when they finally know the
ins and outs of the business aspect of their careers.
You see what Prince did when he realized that he didn't
own anything, he put slave on his cheek. He came to
a point in his career where he was educated enough to
be wiser in his choices and realized his true leverage
power." Daz continues, "When you are younger you make
decisions that are fast to try to get quick money, anything
is good to someone that didn't have anything. When you
are older, and you realize your true marketing potential,
you begin to make wiser decisions. And truthfully speaking,
I don't think they want wise decisions for artists,
so they create a quick fly by night act and show, and
expect them to disappear in a few years."
What has Daz Dillinger been doing since his break from
the public. Daz Dillinger has created the prelude to
The Saga Unfolds by giving the public one of the streets
highly anticipated West Coast Albums, "Dillinger & Young
Gotti". The story line gives an exciting backdrop in
what appears to unfold like a classic gangster novel,
or a movie epic such as "The God Father". Daz Dillinger
explains, "I wanted to create something that the streets
identifies with without making it like packaged cheap
Spam. So I created the music, and it's basically a story
and an epic like R Kelly's RB Opera. This is only the
beginning."
Daz Dillinger and Kurupt also give KDAY listeners the
opportunity to get a sneak preview on Halloween. Daz
states, "I think it's the right season, this CD is definitely
not for the faint at heart." Mr. Dillinger continues,
"This is for the gangsters and hustlers and the women
that love us. And even those in college, if you are
being a gangster about getting your A's this is for
you too. Hell the President of the United States is
a gangster. Gangsters are global, and this album along
with the albums to come will reflect that. I am just
glad to be apart of KDAY, the original West Coast radio
station. I wanted to come back and be apart of that
team that held it down for the West Coast for decades."
Daz Dillinger believes that his niche continues to be
the men and women who are challenged by daily life struggles.
When asked to respond to the street's big buzz over
the record, he explains, "I didn't expect instant gratification,
because I didn't choose a big commercialized machine
to get behind this album. This is an independent album,
and sometimes that appreciation takes years to receive.
But I am grateful that the word of mouth on the West
Coast and all coasts is back, maybe we can begin to
start really moving some things again."
Why KDAY? Daz has chosen a station that honors the streets
to give away his very street and hardcore record, Dillinger
& Young Gotti, before the official release date November
1st. Daz explains, "I like all the West Coast Hip Hop
stations. Yet some listens to the streets more than
others." Daz Dillinger explains, "I grew up on KDAY,
and I thought it was only fitting to just break the
news about me and Kurupt's reunion with the streets
especially with that particular radio station." KDAY
will be giving away Dillinger & Young Gotti to listeners
who come to World On Wheels on Saturday, October 29,
2005. The time is 10:30PM-2:30AM at World on Wheels
4645 1/2 Venice Blvd. You must be 21+ with Identification.
The big street record Dillinger and Young Gotti is expected
in stores November 1st.
About Daz Dillinger
One of the most important members of the West Coast
empire is producer/rapper Daz Dillinger. He has worked
alongside some of the West Coast's best rappers. Along
with Kurupt, Nate Dogg, and Snoop Dogg, Dillinger was
one of the Long Beach, CA, clique that had been introduced
to Dr. Dre through Warren G during the preliminary stages
of the legendary Chronic album.
Daz Dillinger's contributions to Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle
album as a rapper quickly established him as one of
the most deadliest gangster writers on the West Coast.

on Me. His production helped make 2Pac's All Eyez on
Me so much of a success, he was chosen to be Dr. Dre's
successor for the production of Snoop's Tha Doggfather
album.
Following the departure of Dr. Dre, the death of 2Pac,
and the imprisonment of Suge Knight, Death Row suddenly
lost its momentum -- Yet Daz Dillinger's career as a
producer still flourished working with artists ranging
from Black Eyed Peaz to the South's King's TI.

of DPGC continues to keep it totally gangsta. No matter
where Daz goes in life, he is one of the most feared
Hustlers throughout the United States. With street credibility
throughout the Nation, he can be dubbed as a "global
gangster".
Daz has found a new home with Jermaine Dupri, So Def,
which he will debut his album So Gangsta. And he is
expected to deliver another smash street music.
Daz Dillinger has created DPGC and Gangster Advisory
