Hip Hop Press - Hip Hop Press Releases

With the emergence of the West Coast now in effect, what better time for the release of a full-scale album by one of the most talented lyricists from the region. 24-year-old Los Angeles rapper Scan, the premier artist of upstart independent label Ground Up Entertainment, has hit the streets off with an album that is a strong representation of what the West can do in hip-hop. At 16 songs deep, the album has been receiving nothing but positive reviews from everyone who has heard it, and is helping establish both Scan and his label Ground Up as forces in the industry.

Rapping in the very competitive area of battle raps since the age of 12, as well as appearing on tours throughout the country with major artists like Jadakiss, Nappy Roots, Cassidy and more taught Scan how to survive in the rough rap landscape. Putting all his experience together with Ground Up CEO Don Johnson, who he met while freestyling at a video shoot in Los Angeles, the two have formed an impressive relationship that already has the streets buzzing and is sure to be knocking on major doors soon.

The album is a culmination of years of hard work by both Scan and Ground Up Ent. and is just the beginning of what to expect from Ground Up. The West Coast community is embracing the album as an impressive offering, and you can pick up a copy yourself today by visiting http://cdbaby.com/cd/scan .
