When speaking about West Coast hip hop sound, one name comes to everyone's mouth : Andre Young aka Dr. Dre. But Dre only represents one kind of sound.
From California, Muggs started a whole different sound, with bands like Cypress Hill, Soul Assassins and House Of Pain. It was darker, more New York-like. More rock and latino influenced.
Remember "Insane In The Brain" ? "How I Could Just Kill A Man" ? "Boom Biddy Bye Bye" ? "Jump Around" ?
In the latest "Crate Diggers" episode, Muggs goes through all his influences. The good thing is he's really talkative. As always, very interesting.
