first of all the only dago artists i heard from was jayo felony in the early 90's. then once i was at san diego state and some guy was handing out black mikey tapes. then sometime early 2000's my brother picked up lil cs dollars and sins. i heard it bang'n out of his subs and was like damn that shit is hardcore! honestly the first time i really was hooked was when we took a trip to fam mart from out of town. once i got there i seen some more local acts. i picked up cricet war paint, the new west and my bro got big june my dago's on based on some guy saying he was tight. we got back to the hotel and i bumped war paint on my earphones and was floored! all this new talent i never heard before bang'n on some tight ass beats. then i bumped new west that shit was tight too. ever since i been hooked. it was cool to see where this music comes from cause before this i never been to that part of dago even though i got cousins from dago.it's been on ever since. dago's truely the new west in my opinion there's so much talent there it's like a gold mine.
WHAT DAGO RELEASE TURNED YOU ON TO THE WHOLE RAP SCENE?
- Thread starter Tragedy
- Start date
I like how these cats just drop albums outta the blue like it's nothing.
SouthSanDago comes on the board and posts that something new just hit the shelves that had never been mentioned as coming (i.e. Don Diego mixtape).
And when they do say something is coming it usually does within 2 months of saying (ex: Mob Kings)...up in L.A. Detox was supposed to come out in '03 or something..lol
But the first thing I listend to was Battleram a.k.a. Raj Dawg "Everyday Life Situations Vol. 1"

I knew about Jayo back in the day but he didn't turn me on to SD music even though he kinda tight. I had got my hands on Luni & Irocc's How The West was Won cd and heard Ecay snappin on that Pick Up The Pieces. So I ordered his cd through Best Buy then I heard about Triggeration Station from Murderdog and got put up on the Sicc Shop after that.
my first was a single with big june straight jackin it had to be around 92 i got it at fam bam, funny thing it wasnt even at the music shop that i got it.i was picking up some fresh khakis and white tees and snakeskin belts and one of those big black jackets with hood and it had that warm furry shit in there--great for them late nights posted, anyways i seen the single at the counter.i mention this to those who aint knowing that you can sell anywhere, not just the music stores.i was hooked that day, then what about jayo and luv for dem 4 thangs, and that big june diss piss on your tombstone
i started listening to sd rappers because of knightowl, lil rob, mr lil one, mr shadow, they are all chicano rappers most of them have a couple of songs with some black rappers and they all sound good so now i like jayo, mitchy slick etc....
p.s i also wondered how the rappers that knightowl talks shit about sounded like so i started listening to aztec tribe and i thought some of their shit was alright, lil rob will help put dago on the map with his upcomming album

Thats the only shit i heard but overalll Diego shit is pretty dope.
