Jerrmaine Dupri served as executive producer of the album. The first single is "On Some Real S***" featuring Rick Ross, and the beat on that joint is fire. I still haven't figured out where this alliance is headed, I know that there is a plan, I just haven't put my finger on it.

I'm confused because I thought that the record would have more of JD's influence with respect to the records overall flavor. It still sounds like "traditional" Daz Dillinger production and flow. Therefore, I guess their arrow is aimed out to the west coast.

Now on the production end of things, there's no denying Daz's skills, arguably Top 5 in the game right now. Afterall, he did learn from THE BEST in Dr. Dre. But lyrically....I'm telling you, can you imagine a Daz beat alongside some Redman, Lil Wayne, or T.I. vocals (on a full album).

The So So Gangsta album is a follow-up to Daz' 2000 sophomore disc "R.A.W.," which was released through his indie label Dogg Pound Records.

JD relocated So So Def to Virgin last January when he was named president of urban music at the label.

My ultimate question is this... Will Daz be able to push units here in Atlanta? Will we ever recognize a West Coast artists for his skills, and not his accent?

To me THE DAZ PRODUCTION CARRIES THE ALBUM. Most of the JERMAINE DUPRI SONGS ARE WHAT FUCK IT UP. Why is he in the background ad libbing on half the songs when it could easily be Snoop, Kurupt etc. Dogg Pound have their own style of ad libs and how they make songs. PICTURE JERMAINE DUPRI DOING YOUNG JEEZY'S AD LIBS INSTEAD OF HIM.
I'm glad it's balanced though. Jermaine Dupri should be trying to go ahead and get a piece of the west coast sound while they get money - not the other way around.
And you're right DAZ IS DEFINITELY A TOP 5 PRODUCER - THE MOST SLEPT ON.

about time SOHH is givin the west some spot light......thank you blog writer!

and the album is fire(a couple of skippers),but fire nonetheless.

the beat for the song "All I Need" is heated along wit "On Some Real Sh*t".
The collabo wit Kurupt is clean too...

Props to the blog writer for shining some light on the left coast. peace!
