Even though this convo took place between From The Westside With Love and Westside II, he alluded to several themes that tie into Yellow Album cuts like “5.0 | Conversations,” the interlude on “PG Click,” and more. I can’t help but listen to the cruise-friendly LP, and not think back to a conversation we had back in November 2010, when I spoke to him for a Complex piece on the “Making of Currensy’s Pilot Talk II“ (where he was featured on “Real Estates”).

Before the followings of indie rap darlings Kendrick Lamar and his TDE crew reached mass appeal, you could argue that Dom Kennedy alongside Left Coast brethren Pac Div and Blu, were at the helm of Macbook-inclined, blog-ready hip-hop from Los Angeles.
