Westakoasta is my new series of short mixes documenting the westcoast underground rap music that I love and collect with passion for years.

I tried to make it as much as easy to listen to possibly, which means short-span edits of songs (tons of editing actually), entertaining skits and such, sometimes borrowed, sometimes made with the help of my record collection.

Vinyls, tapes (yes!), cds, and of course digital were used there. Classics meets slept-on meets super obscure.
Lots of scenes and posses are included, from San Diego up to Seattle.

There's no definite number of podcasts to come yet, but there's a nice batch coming up. The ultimate goal is to release a cd at some point, so that's why no dl for now.

Hope you'll enjoy listen to it as much as I enjoyed making it, discover new artists, rediscover some… Peace.

This right here is part 1, the full CD released in 2017 covered part 1 to 7.

Kirby Dominant's roll in the proliferation of Bay Area's storied hip-hop history is nothing short of integral. As an MC, His seminal debut album,  "Rapitalism: The Philosophies Of Dominant Pimpin" was pressed-up in part by grant moneys he funneled from UC Berkeley while as a student there - yet that just one of the many sides of Kirby Dominant.  In our revealing conversation we talk on growing up, his early years of being shuffled from from place to place between the Bay Area to San Bernardino. A philosophical raconteur who built himself from the ground-up. We also chat about the likes of Roy Hargrove, Mystik Journeyman ...  Kemetic Suns, Fundamentals, Burnt Batch, Konceptual Dominance, Kirb & Chris, Paranoid Castle, and so much more - so if you are hip to those - you are in for a treat. If you've never heard of Kirby Dominant before than his story may certainly capture your attention, a long time friend of our host Peter Agoston, enjoy this candid chat and make sure to seek out Kirby's various musical output afterwards .....  at the same time why don't ya subscribe on iTunes and rate our podcast if you be liking it!

Z-Man is legend in San Francisco. That is where host Peter Agoston met and recorded this conversation with him.

When talking about Los Angeles hip-hop history - especially the 'L.A. Underground' -  the world over usually sites Project Blowed as its center piece. As expansive as the Blowed collective is, our guest Riddlore, is undoubtedly one of it's more integral members. Crucial though is that pre-dating the birth of Project Blowed at its unassuming yet historic venue the Good Life Cafe, Ridd and a few others had a socio/political meeting-group called ABC (African Brother’s Collective) that birthed the community that would then evolve into Project Blowed. Ridd's group Chillin Villain Empire (who started in '84) would prove themselves pioneers in freestyle and some of the earliest creators of political/gangster raps. We talk about it all within this convo! Hope you enjoy! Please subscribe and share this conversation freely to you friends and associates!
