Hip Hop pioneers Compton’s Most Wanted (CMW) helped usher in the West Coast gangsta rap scene in the ’80s and ’90s. Spearheaded by MC Eiht and Tha Chill, the group released six albums, including the 1992 classic, Music To Driveby.
After CMW dropped Compton’s O.G. in 2006, they went their separate ways but that’s all about to change. In an exclusive statement to HipHopDX, Eiht confirmed a new CMW album is in the works and expected to arrive sometime this summer.
“I’m workin,” Eiht told DX. “I’ll be ready in June. I’ll have two videos — one from my solo album and one from CMW. That’s BLUESTAMP official. Geah!”
In addition to the CMW project, Eiht is finishing up his Keep It Hood 2 EP. The project serves as the follow-up to 2013’s Keep It Hood, which he released on the BLUESTAMP Music imprint he founded five years ago.
Eiht, who was featured on Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid, m.A.A.d City in 2012, is also finishing up the sequel to 2017’s Which Way Iz West, the aptly titled Which Way Iz West II. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]

But still a Solid album for what it is . New West Coast hip hop music from a OG Longtime West Coast RIDER Slash MC Eiht Geah !!!!!!!

BRING SOME MORE BOMB WEST COAST TRACKS FOR US TO ENJOY AND VIBE TO 8 HYPE . 8 HYPE IN THE HOUSE FOR THE 2018 SHOT GEAH .
Geah! Which way iz west was one of my favorite albums last year, I’ve been bumpin CMW & MC Eiht since day 1, it’s great that hip hop OG’s are still puttin in work with solid projects. Enough mumble trash & Blackface Drake get that bullshit outta here. CMW!
A much needed album in these very soft times in rap music
Geeeeaaahhhh
Shut the fuck up, go listen to some pinked hair mumble rap
Age doesn’t matter in music like it does in sports. Listen to Prodigy and Guru. Both of them vocally got better and stronger as they aged.
Prodigy definitely did not get better as he aged lol. He was always dope, but declined significantly from his peak on The Infamous at the age of 20.
I picture you with colorful hair and bi??
I would rather listen to 60 year old Scarface or Nas than any of these you chumps like 69 Young Thug Kodak Black they have less talent than 20 tons of dog doo roasting in death valley on a 120 degree day. STFU young punk you know not a got dam thing about music.
I can’t wait for this to drop i glad the o.gs coming back the shit i grew up on still hold up to this day i wish d.j. magic mike make a comeback with them beats he the real pioneer of trap beats or bass period
