DaVinci Hits The Radio With Cypress’ DJ Muggs, And Auditions Beats From Top LA Producers

16 July 2010 No Comment

DaVinci, the Bay Area emcee, has been receiving incredible amounts of attention after delivering his critically acclaimed album, The Day The Turf Stood Still, and more recently being named one of the Bay’s best new rap talents on KMEL’s Freshmen 10 list. The rapper’s label, the quickly rising Sweetbreads Creative Collective just released a video (in conjunction with hip-hop site 24K Milkcrate) showcasing DaVinci’s recent trip to L.A., an eventful trek for the young emcee.

DaVinci drops in on legend DJ Muggs (Cypress Hill) for an appearance on Muggs’ Soul Assassins radio show on Shade 45. His appearance instantly landed DaVinci the honor of being the first San Francisco artist to appear on both the Soul Assassins program and Shade 45. The clip shows the emcee and a clearly pleased Muggs chopping it up. The video also captures footage of DaVinci in the studio with two of L.A.’s go-to producers. Tycoon, known for his work with Anthony Hamilton, Pussycat Dolls and more recently pegged as a co-conspirator of Dr. Dre’s upcoming Detox album, spends time auditioning beats for the Bay Area rapper. DaVinci also catches up with J-Thrill (Talib Kweli, Strong Arm Steady, Planet Asia). It looks like DaVinci has a lot of big things in the works.

Watch out for DaVinci’s “Concrete Jungle Juice” video, the next single from The Day The Turf Stood Still dropping next week.
