A group of rappers and producers are reimagining not just the sound of Los Angeles, but its slang, its fashion sense, and the cultural divide between blacks and latinos.

We sit down with the G-funk great to talk his new documentary, the birth of West Coast rap, and his legacy beyond "Regulate."

The 21-year-old from Hammond, Indiana has a thundering new video from his EP 'Do Or Die.' It's hard as bricks.

With his latest project 'Dawgystyle,' the 23-year-old joins 03 Greedo and Drakeo the Ruler as leaders in a new West Coast movement.

The rapper's incredible potential has made him one of Los Angeles' most enigmatic artists, but his complicated history could cause his future to be in question.

At age 16, Noh just won the American Junior Golf Association Girls Championship and is ranked tenth in the world. The ball usually goes where she wants it to.

Ahead of a new documentary he scored, we join the LA funk scion in his studio to talk about growing up with the game-changing hip-hop crew, attracting women with vinyl, and why funk is like "a smile with a tear."

The Oak Cliff rapper premieres his video for "32" from his debut project of the same name.

He's also Ty Dolla $ign's cousin, which might stink of nepotism if he weren't so damn good at rapping.

The trio of Manu Li, Serk Spliff, and Ray Wright offers a rare hip-hop perspective from LA's rapidly changing Westside, and their new EP 'Diagnosis' brings classic G-funk into the more eclectic present.

We spoke with will.i.am and the producers behind "Merry Motherfuckin' Christmas" to get the story behind the most ruthless Christmas song of all time.
