Nice name....tell Tekpot I said what up if you see him. Anyway mane, thanks for posting...you got some interesting questions. I don't know if there will be future work with any of them people you mentioned. There have been oportunities on both ends and nothing has happend....my phone has yet to ring to be featured on any of their projects family, if you own any Dugout releases (which I assume you do) then your aware that they have been on all but 1 of them.
The collabs for the most part are up in the air, I like Jae Rilla's music alot and he's in my oppinion the most talented all around individual in San Jose. Dugout has taken a different turn music wise and maybe our paths will cross with these artist you mention sometime in the future to get down...but as of now I don't see it anytime soon. If you see Mr.21...tell my homie I said what up...keep puttin it down.
Show wise...I did 6 of them last summer in the bay, in San Jose those running the show scene ain't spread the love to me yet so if I do it...it will be with another Bay label or a function that is specifically thrown or put on by Dugout. I am sure it will happen tho...regardless of the supression.
Artist signings...naw, not for a LONG time...I learned from experience that it's impossible to make another man's dream come true when you haven't fullfilled your own. (REAL SPIT)
On the Industry Hijack Mixtape....the biggest artist's I have on it is SEAN T from Get Gone and K-Rino from the Legendary SOUTH PARK COALITION (Home to Gangsta Nip & more). I will always have at least one BIGGER artist than myself...because that is just how the game works...ask any distributor and any one stop.
Designated Hitta features 151 of C-Bo's West Coast Mafia, A-Wax outa Pittsburg, Assassin of San Jo's Lifer Def, Young Cap outa San Jo, Mac & Ak plus more....this album is a COLLABS album which means every track I have someone on it...the solo is called THE SIMPLE THINGZ and the single is being mixed in Norway right now.
Right on for the post and the questions....take care & check the mixtape when it drops...I'll be in San Jo in Feb pushin the mixtape hard if you know anyone lookin for that work if it's official business tellem holla at the manager:

Dugout.
BTW - If you want a copy of the mixtape shoot me an address and I got you covered for FREE....along with some other music.
