Guilty by Affiliation Review at allhiphop.com

"...the Crip-walking, twisted-braid sporting MC treats his work like 1996 all over again, with an emphasis on lyrics and delivery, and bass heavy tracks that will have you looking over your shoulder at red lights."

Interview: WC on BallerStatus.com


Melanie J. Cornish conducted an interview with WC on August 17, 2007 to discuss the release of his latest album, "Guilty by Affiliation".
Ballerstatus.com: So talk to me about the new album?

WC: Man it is the sh--. I swear I put my nuts on the table with this album right here. For one, we are not a major label, so we don't have to sit up and do what the f--- they tell us to do. Even when we were on a major label, we did what we wanted to do. You would have to go in front of a million people to get budgets approved, but we got our chance to go in and put down what we wanted to put down. We didn't have to worry about what was "in" at the time, or what was being played in the club. F--- that, we outside the club telling n----s when you come outside, we gonna beat your ass. Sh--, we were having fun with it. We were cracking Hennessey bottles and in the club doing what we wanted to be doing. We were having fun with it, not sitting up and doing what everyone else is trying to do. We do us and Goddamn it feels good to be independent.

Interview: WC on CBRAP


Here's a two part interview with WC conducted on August 13, 2007.
N: So getting into the new joint, what artists are you working with on the new album?

WC: I ain’t working with too many artists. It’s a west coast album, I’m an artist from the west coast. I’m truly independent which means that I’m securing my fan base, I’m locking the coast down. So what I did was I went and got the West Coast big three, which is Game, Snoop and Ice Cube. That’s all I need.

Guilty by Affiliation Press Release

Ice Cube's Lench Mob Records Announces the Best West Coast Hip-Hop Album of the Year

WC Solo Album, "Guilty By Affiliation," Set to Release August 14th

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - August 10, 2007) - On August 14th, Ice Cube's independent imprint Lench Mob Records, will release "GUILTY BY AFFILIATION," the new solo album from west coast icon and Westside Connection member, WC (aka Dub C).

As rap has become today's pop music many of its artists have moved away from the street-centered mentality that made the music so potent in the 1980s and 1990s. Realizing that rap has lost its edge and intensity, Los Angeles rap icon and Westside Connection member WC returns rap to its creative roots -- exemplary lyricism, conceptual greatness, bone-crushing production -- on his masterful new album, "GUILTY BY AFFILIATION."
