Video: Dom Kennedy Discusses Trends In Hip-Hop and “Thirsty” LA Girls

I added the “thirsty” description above, because those are the LA girls I believe he’s is referencing, and I wanted to make sure to clarify that. Cause I know for sure that this LA girl (points to myself) has a solid career, a side-hustle, a better credit score, 401k, and health benefits than you. We clear? *snap, snap*

Dom Kennedy sits down with iHipHop.com to discuss becoming a perennial artists as opposed to a “buzz artist”, trends in hip-hop, and how girls in LA need to get their priorities in order.

The “New West Week” will include interviews with Odd Future, Black Hippy, Dom Kennedy, Pac Div and more.

All week, we’ll be bringing you interviews with these artists to watch, breaking it down into four categories: the Black Hippy, the Future, Up and Coming, the Party and the Underdog. Each day, MTV News’ Sway and our hip-hop beat team will focus on a theme and recap the following day.

It’s about damn time, right? Stay tuned.

Video: Dom Kennedy, Freddie Gibbs & Casey Veggies At Fader Showcase (MTV RapFix)

Props to MTV News covering events that showcase independent and upcoming artists. A little birdie told me that MTV News will be airing segments highlighting LA hip hop artists in a few weeks. Yes!

The free Fader event, which took place Tuesday, had three solid acts, Dom Kennedy, Freddie Gibbs and Casey Veggies. Gangsta Gibbs, who recently signed with Young Jeezy’s label, Corporate Thugz Entertainment, is preparing to release his next project, Baby Faced Killa. West coast MC Dom Kennedy is prepping Westside With Love 2 and is leaning toward a May release for the project. It seemed like one hell of a show. Salty I had to miss it.

Our own LA Leaker and ex-convict DJ SourMilk even had a mention in the RapFix article. Woot!

Video: Karmaloop TV – Dom Kennedy Interview

While in NYC, Dom Kennedy (hey, that rhymes) stopped by the Karmaloop offices to talk about his latest project, The Original Dom Kennedy, and why he decided to have different artworks for each single on the tape. Shout out to Jovan from PHRE$HCRU for designing each all the artwork.

Video: Dom Kennedy On MTV’s Mixtape Daily

With the West making a good amount of noise, Mixtape Daily has decided to feature Dom Kennedy‘s latest mixtape and one of my personal current favorites, The Original Dom Kennedy.

“It was a part of me that wasn’t in all of those projects, and with The Original Dom Kennedy, it was a time for me to take a stand in music. The way we grew up and our lifestyle, being kids from the inner city of Los Angeles. I just felt like that was missing,” Dom said.

Watch as Dom shares the meaning behind the project and a few standout tracks from The Original Dom Kennedy. Download it for free, here.
