hopefully this will help you..
Cold 187um a.k.a. Big Hutch of the pioneering West Coast group Above The Law will drop his second solo CD, Live From The Ghetto.
The album is his first solo effort since 1999's Executive Decisions. Shortly after dropping his first solo album, Hutch was tapped to run Death Row's music production for the then-incarcerated Suge Knight.
After producing tracks for such albums as 2Pac's Until The End Of Time, The Dogg Pound's The Dogg Pound 2002 Snoop Dogg's Dead Man Walkin', and the Death Row compilation 2 Gangsta For Radio, he and the label couldn't see eye-to-eye about the direction of Above The Law's album Diary Of A Drug Dealer.
"As the owner of WestWorld, I wanted to see ATL in the upper echelon of the business, not just caught up in the mill of things," Hutch said of the situation.
Shortly after the relase of Diary of A Drug Dealer on his own, longtime Above The Law group member Total K-OSS was arrested when California police found three ounces of rock cocaine in his Sport Utility Vehicle.
The group says DJ K-OSS was mistkeningly found guilty under the law via his association with people close to him.
"He was at the wrong place at the wrong time and became friends with those who truly weren't friends with him," they said in a statement shortly after K-OSS was found guilty.
Live From The Ghetto was produced in the most part by Big Hutch, with other contributions coming from West coast producer Mark Sparks.
On the album, Hutch pays homage to music giant Curtis Mayfield on a remake of Mayfield's classic song "Give Me Your Love."
"Curtis Mayfield is one of my all-time favorite musicians" Hutch said. "The song is classic and you can't top it, so all I could do is pay homage to him by adding my style to it and telling a similar story that the original is based on. Basically, 'Give Me Your Love' is about a brother on the daily grind doing what he got to do, but knowing whatever happens, his woman got his back regardless of the outcome."
To support the release Hutch dropped a mixtape and has been appearing on other mixtapes in various markets, to re-introduce himself to the community.
"[The mixtape] lets them know what they can expect with this album," Hutch said. "We've been receiving great feedback from the mixtape, the streets is definitely feeling it, especially here in Los Angeles."
Above The Law's 1990 album Living Like Hustlers, which was produced entirely by Dr. Dre, is recognized as one of the finest albums from the time period.
Above The Law, Kokane, and upstarts Young Madd, Geno, and Vietnam grace Big Hutch's Live From The Ghetto, which drops nationwide on June 8th, 2004.

No....that did not drop. Is was going to come out on Death Row...but they left before it could be released. Then I think they were renaming it to Sex, Money, and Music. And that was going to be released last year, but never droped. The last thing Above The Law came out with was "Forever Rich Thugs Book 1".
