Dom Kennedy, Jay West and B.J. the Chicago Kid hooked up with Sweatbox Production to craft some goodness amongst friends. Mics, cameras, action! Brought to you by CHEMlab x Eighty81.

Dom Kennedy – From the Westside with Love (Review)

Dom Kennedy

From The Westside With Love



It is a damn shame that Mr. Cube has not been able to warm up to "The New West" because if he listened to Dom Kennedy, chances are he would be pretty excited about what Cali is serving up these days. Though the 25-year-old rapper from Leimert Park has HAD the internets going nuts ever since 2008, From The Westside With Love will take care of any stragglers that may have missed the boat with his earlier projects. From the very first track, "In Memory Of," it is evident ...
