Los Angeles Unified Sound District - "Ignite" (feat. Thurz, Y-O & Vida Jafari)

*Oh face* ...this beat goes hard. L.A.U.S.D. links up with a rather unknown singer and the artists formerly known as U-N-I for this head nodder. This one's from Polyester and L4zy Lou's (who together are L.A.U.S.D.) upcoming compilation project Board of Production. All of their tracks go, and I'm pumped to hear even more of what The New West has to offer when this tape hits the deck. Sidebar: wondering why Thurz and Y-O aren't listed as U-N-I? In disappointing news, U-N-I have officially separated, deciding to work on their solo careers. Sad, sad, sad.

Kyle Rapps - "Rapps 101" (feat. U-N-I)

Here's a joint from a couple of artists who our readers probably aren't too familiar with, which is a good thing, right? We don't know much about Kyle Rapps, but we do know of U-N-I, who are right up there with Pac Div, Dom Kennedy, and Kendrick Lamar as dope representers of The New West. We've posted a few tracks featuring the Cali duo consisting of YO and Thurzday in the past, but hopefully you'll be seeing more of them on KWT. We can only hope so. Anyway, we love the smooth production laced with bars on bars on bars on this single from Kyle's latest EP Re-Edutainment, which you can snag in its entirety below over at iTunes.

Blu - "Doin' Something" (feat. Pac Div, U-N-I, J*Davey, TiRon, & Ayomari)

Blu grabs everyone from the west coast that's killin' the game right now, and throws them on this NoYork! track. These dudes trade dope verses back to back for 6 minutes, what more could you ask for? The New West is definitely dominating my playlists right now.

Terrace Martin - "Special" (feat. U-N-I & Charlie Wilson)

A very soulful track from Terrace Martin featuring Charlie Wilson (dude from KanYe's new jams) and U-N-I. Don't know U-N-I, but they seem alright. Very nice... The beginning is my favorite part. Haha. Check it.
