Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Too Short, and E-40 West Coast hip-hop supergroup, Mt. Westmore set to release their debut album in April
Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Too Short, and E-40 have launched a West Coast hip-hop supergroup , called Mt. Westmore last year.
In a recent VladTV interview Oakland rap legend Too Short stated the group is slated to release their debut album in April. “We have recorded somewhere in the neighbourhood of 50 songs. Volume 1 will be released in April and the rest of the volumes will follow,” Too $hort told DJ Vlad.
“At the age we’re at is a good time to do a thing like this and kind of extend your career a bit in a different way… The minute we join forces, we get a handful of new business opportunities that none of us would’ve had.”
Mt. Westmore debut album release will likely line up with their first live performance, currently set for April 17th at Triller’s next Fight Club event, where they’ll share the stage with Doja Cat, Justin Bieber, The Black Keys, Saweetie, Diplo and Major Lazer.
The four-hour pay-per-view event will cap with a fight between (actual) boxer, Ben Askren, and Youtube-star-turned-boxer, Jake Paul, who notoriously knocked out the NBA’s Nate Robinson in Triller’s previous boxing event.
The news was first revealed by Too Short in an interview on the Serch Says podcast in December. “So I get a call during the early part of the quarantine from E-40 and Ice Cube going, ‘Man, we feel like we should do an album. Me, you, it’s E-40, Cube, Too $hort and Snoop Dogg. And I’m like… E-40 and Too Short are from the Bay, Snoop Dogg and Cube are from L.A. and we are like the West Coast foundation.’ We sat there and was like, ‘F*ck it, let’s do it.’ So, we start coming up with beats,” the Bay Area legend says (via HipHop-N-More).
