A Detroit native and some California trailblazers unify in a moment of Hip Hop that demonstrates just how special the West side is. "Watch Whatcha Say" takes us to the party as 14KT and the rhyme duo of Mykestro link with DJ Battlecat. With top notch verses, Cali vibes and a synth-driven bounce, the result of this collaboration is electrifying as a ride down Crenshaw Blvd. On "Special" the vibe is joyful as DPG gangsta Kurupt links with DJ Battlecat to bless us with a summertime anthem. The two give us a moment to imagine the perfect day and focus on what is special: the enjoyment of life.
Namek, DJ Battlecat and Nhale link up for this smooth, west coast banger signifying black and brown unity. "Priceless" is the first single off of Namek and Battlecat's "3 x 3 Project". Cameos include actor Noel Gugliemi, LA radio personalities Cece The Mamacita (93.5 KDay), Bryhana (Power 106) and rapper Ras Kass.

This week's guest on Pensado's Place and J Rocc's Adventures In Stereo is Producer and DJ Battlecat! Battlecat is well known for producing iconic artists such as Snoop Dogg, Tupac, and The Game along with a number of other West Coast rappers. Both interviews reveal many interesting aspects behind Battlecat's signature sound, one from a DJ perspective and the other from an engineering/producer's perspective.
"Ain't no party like a West Coast party. "Realism" is the brand new release from South Central-native A.R.G. aka Baby Down with the funk provided by the legend DJ Battlecat. Look for his new mixtape Where There's a Will, There's a Way to be released soon as well as a new EP following that." - via iStandard Producers
Dj Battlecat sits down with Cleveland Ohio's JbSmooth84.com for an insightful interview about the jewels gained from life experience and his humble beginnings as a 16 year old DJ an evolving into a super producer of West Coast sound. This not your average producer-oriented interview focusing on gear and record sales, this a journey of a kid to an independent and successful adult through Hip Hop. Battlecat speaks about everything from growth, learning from chances and losses, education, respect and self-awareness in life. Of course Battlecat takes time to speak on his music, highlighting his work with Kahsyno plus his classics in working with Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and more.
As a bonus, here is a DJ set by Mike Biggz featuring the best from Battlecat's production catalog. Enjoy!:
