With the continuing platinum success of the Eastsidaz‘s debut album on Snoop Dogg‘s record label Doggy Records.
The hip hop mogul has introduced his second group on his progressing West Coast
label. Bringing into the musical forefront is the female trio of Doggy’s Angels. The group consists of Big Chan, Coniyac and Kola, the
newest protégés of Snoop Dogg.
The album’s blueprint was established to represent the West Coast sound. For
instance, the album has many guest appearances from various artists and skits
which hold true to the traditional West Coast album. Doggy’s Angels come through with gangsta style rhymes overtop heavy
bass beats and a funk tempo. The trio debuted with two singles Baby, If you’re Ready and Ridaz With Me which introduced the group
to the urban music audiences.
The tracks I would suggest to lock into is Pop
Your Collar 2 Dis, Told You So
and by far the tightest cut of the album is the salsa-laced Pleezabaleevit! featuring Layzie Bone. The tracks on this latest
release were surprisingly written by the trio. However, it was aided with the
assistance of Snoop Dogg and West
Coast’s premier urban producers, such as Fredwreck
and Jelly roll.
However, there some flaws to this Snoop
produced album. For instance, besides Snoop,
Nate Dogg and Layzie Bone, there is no established artist featured on Pleezbaleevit!, which is not a selling
feature to their release. Doggy’s Angels
debut will not attract a wide range of listeners, due to the fact, there should
have been more diverse and complete artists featuring on their tracks. In
addition, the trio are not bustin out with anything solid lyrically,
highlighted on cuts such as Frontline
and Gangsta In Me. The album is comprised
with somewhat dry and predictable beats as well.
AD LOADING...
Doggy’s Angels debut will be a bona
fide hit for Snoop, in retrospect; it
will not reach the same heights as The
Eastsidaz. However, it is evident that this trio from South Central will
have solid place in the new age in the female hip hop game. I will give it 3 of
out 5 records.
Peace
