"I'm going, going, back, back to Cali Cali" The West Coast or as the hip hop scene over there refers to it "Fresh Coast" is definitely different from the East Coast. It's cool there and I'm not saying it's not cool over here, because I love New York City, they're on two different levels of cool. Cali has definitely shown Branded Baron love and we have nothing but love for the people in California as well. It definitely appropriate to sponsor a rapper from the West Coast. Underground/Indie rapper "Okwerdz" hails from Stockon and is a pretty good rapper that kills it on the battle scene and makes good music. The Source Magazine gave him the "Unsigned Hype" title in March '09 and that's pretty big, since it recognizes very talented rappers. Biggie and Eminem are just two of the many people given that title. He's worked with many people from Kool G Rap, Techn9ne, Chino XL, Mistah Fab, and Slug from Atmosphere just to name a few. He's had mixtapes hosted by Dj Green Lantern and Big Mike and he tours all over the world. Okwerdz has been is a very unique rapper and I would definitely check his music out. He has a new mixtape called "The Offseason", which you can download off iTunes. Okwerdz is a cool down to earth dude that knows how to do his thing. Expect to see him rocking some Branded Baron gear in pictures and videos.

He hooked us up with a pretty good song for everyone to download. The song is called "Different Class" featuring Mistah Fab, Lush One, and Slug from Atmosphere. This song is one song of many off the cd "Fresh Coast: Non Perishables Volume 2", which features other west coast emcees.

Okwerdz's new mixtape. He has a song called "Shoe Check" that reminds me a little bit of Jay Wise's "Sneakerhead". Do I see these two working on a song in the future? Jay Wise worked with one of Techn9ne's producers, Seven and Okwerdz worked with Techn9ne and they're both sponsored by Branded Baron. hmmm? Sounds like it could work.
