Dogg Pound gangsta
Kurupt combines with fellow West Coast representative, producer/MC extraordinaire
J. Wells to bring rap fiends the exceptional collaboration album
Digital Smoke. With a sticky-sweet, melodic G-funk production sound (in contrast to the drive-by gunfire of
Kurupt's previous
Dogg Pound release,
Dogg Chit),
Digital Smoke is a 16-track love letter to west coast bud.
Kurupt and
J. Wells serve up a gang of smoked-out, dank-centric rhymes alongside likeminded guest MCs such as
Kokane,
Goodie Mob,
Roscoe, and
Tha Alkaholiks. The pair is at their dirtiest on a computerized, hydraulic-thumping version of
the Kinks' "You Got Me," and with
Knoc-Turn'al on "Got Me Going."
