Dubb Union Releases Debut Album, Talks West Coast

Danielle Harling

With their debut album already in stores, West Coast Hip Hop group Dubb Union are hoping to bring a breath of fresh air into the West Coast with their unique take on Hip Hop.

Consisting of Bad Lucc, Damani, and Soopafly, Dubb Union is a lyrical melting pot with each member bringing their own personality, lyricism, and even swag.

The trio represent three different areas in Los Angeles including Watts, Inglewood, and Long Beach.

"West Coast Hip Hop is on a bubble right now," Soopafly told HipHopDX. "We so close to a new era in sound, but not quite yet. Torn between the gangbang sound of the 90's and the new pop rap sound that we hear today, it's hard to come up with a sound other than the obvious, but it is in the works. West coast is known for changing music and sound. So that's what we're workin' on."

Dubb Union was able to garner the interest of fellow West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg a few years ago and even made an appearance on Tha Blue Carpet Treatment album.

"Yeah, that's the big homie [Snoop Dogg]. Real talk," Bad Lucc explained to HipHopDX. "The ni**a calls and checks on me all the time. He's proud man. We did it on our own."

Snoop Dogg Presents Dubb Union was released on September 2 on Doggystyle Records and features guest appearances by Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, and Daz Dillinger.
