EASTSIDE GIRLS VOLUME 3



Some of you may have been wondering where I've been. After rejoining the record collectors arena and six months of research I have finally come back to my normal life.

EASTSIDE GIRLS VOLUME 3 has been sitting on the shelf for over two years while I pursed working on my blog YOU FOUND THAT EASTSIDE SOUND.

It may be Labor Day and a blessed day off of work but this vato continues to keep the wheels turning.

Volume 3 once again focuses on female artists from the greater Los Angeles area back in the day and a few cruisin' memories. Hopefully you will find a new gem or two to add to your musical library.

Volume 4 will be in the works soon. ENJOY!!
