THE VAULTS

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR:

Before there was Baycentrik, I helped jumpstart one of the biggest westcoast hip hop sites around. From early 2003 to late 2007 existed a site called WCRydaz.com (aka West Coast Rydaz). During those years I conducted a handful of exclusive interviews for the site. Rather than let them all go to waste since the website is no longer existant after a sale to Loud/Universal, I figured I would share them all on this new venture. So this is a little section we call The Vaults, home to every single interview I conducted in those 5 years, uncut and untouched, as originally published.

As an unexperienced interviewer I learned as I went along and took alot of the fans questions, so you gotta excuse some of the questions asked & pacing in the more earlier interviews.
