Roscoe Still "Loves Cali" On New Album
Yes sir! Young Roscoe Tobasco aka Scodie Mac aka the little brother of a monster IS BACK!. After a long absence and a rough time (Scoe was involved in a near-fatal car crash last year), Roscoe hit up dubcnn to let the world know that he's been locked in the studio workin' his ass off and is still one of the top forces of this West Coast Movement.
He recently wrapped up his upcoming solo album, "I Love Cali". Being the name of his first hit, it was only right he came back with that. The album was entirely produced by Fingazz, and is coming out early May through West Coast Customs/Street Light Entertainment and is distributed through Fontana/
Universal Records, executive produced by Roscoe & Fingazz.
Here's a drop Roscoe did for dubcnn where he speaks on the album:

The record is mostly Scodie rapping solo, but has a few guest spots including Blaqtoven, Y.A. & Diamonique.
But if you thought this is all Roscoe has lined up, you're aallll wrong. Besides Y.A. and his group the G-Hood Fellas, Roscoe also has a group from Philadelphia called The Armory. "I've kept them sepparated from the stuff I've been doing, cause they from Philly, but be on the lookout for The Armory, cause we're gonna be coming hard. That's gonna be dropping on H.O.C./Scodie Mac Records", Scodie said about the group.
He got some more though. "I got another solo album I'm working on that's gonna be executive produced by Kurupt & Scott Storch, that's coming through West Coast Customs/Scodie Mac/Scott Storch Productions. That ones gonna be real big, he's even talking about bringing it to Dr. Dre. We'll see what happen, but me and Scotty have been pumping out some heat.".
Also, if ya'll remember right, in our interview with Kurupt & Daz, Kurupt mentioned that Roscoe had been workin heavily with Bad Azz. Wel.. it's true: "Me and Bad Azz got whole album! It's called "Get A Cup", and it features all of my crew, Y.A., the G-Hood Fellas, and all of Bad Azz crew the Low Lifes.. We got some other cats like RBX, Kokane on there aswell, it's some real fly shit.".
When asked about his label situation, Roscoe said "I feel good right now. I'm off Priority, Kurupt is off Antra, we're both doing our thing. I got H.O.C. and my publishing Scodie Mac.. The C.E.O. of the label is Tom Barnes, he gave me the opportunity to be the president of the Urban department. Cause we're not just gonna do rap, we got alot of different projects. I'm working with a new R&B talent called Nire, she's crazy. She sings like a hummingbird, be on the lookout for her, she's the next big thing."
Well it looks like Roscoe has alot on his plate! Let's wrap it up: "I Love Cali", Roscoe solo coming in May. Y.A. album, another solo backed by Kurupt/Scott Storch, Roscoe & Bad Azz - "Get A Cup", and The Armory out of Philly.
After such a long absence, it's good to see Scodie has his mind back right and is focusing on positive thangs. "It's a beautiful thang man, everybody is back together, everybody let it go and everybody loves each other", Roscoe said about the Re-United Dogg Pound. "D.P.G.C. 2006, not for play! We fuck with everybody... G-Unit, Game, whoever! Man, we've already done been to war! While everybody was singin' about bitches and money, Kurupt was at war! But we off that now. Snoopy got us on chill, Nate got us doin' positive, we makin' money, and all you're gonna see is positivity.".
Sounds crazy, but it's true! This is just the beginning. As always, dubcnn is gonna be on top of the news, so keep it locked right here!
