Legacy West Coast acts JasonMartin FKA Problem and DJ Quik have announced an upcoming highly anticipated joint album out later this year via EMPIRE called Chupacabra. Today, they share the first single “Workout” featuring Lil Jon and Rodney O which is a high tempo and motivational record for those looking for a burst of energy. To commemorate the release and theme of the song, the artists have partnered with ESPN to sync the record throughout the 2024 NBA Playoffs.

West Coast rapper JasonMartin, head of 50Million and Coffee & Kush, got his start behind the scenes writing music for and with Snoop Dogg, Terrace Martin, and more. He began issuing mixtapes and projects from his debut in the early 2000s and went from a staple in underground to widely known radio mix show favorite in 2013 with breakout single “Like Whaaat”. The track then got an official release after the virality when Problem’s debut EP, Understand Me, appeared on Diamond Lane before the end of 2013. He continued to make the leap to the mainstream in 2017 with Selfish and the Rosecrans EP – the latter a collaborative effort with DJ Quik. He quickly followed up with 2018’s S2 before kicking off the 2020s in a big way with a pair of full-lengths, Coffee & Kush, Vol. 1 and 2. More recently, he shared A Compton Story project and short film to widespread acclaim.

The legendary DJ Quik’s last full length effort was the aforementioned Rosecrans EP and now the duo are coming back together for another joint album. The rapper/producer is regarded as one of the most prominent figures in rap since his early-’90s debut and championed the G funk sound for artists and proteges to follow. He’s got multiple Billboard chart topping records and RIAA-Gold and Platinum certifications under his belt. His production credits span from Tony! Toni! Toné!’s “Let’s Get Down” – a Top 30 pop hit to collaborations with Janet Jackson, Jay-Z, and more.

Stay tuned for more info leading up to Chupacabra stream “Workout”. Catch Problem on his Problem Vs Jason Tour through June 6 culminating in Los Angeles and Quik on Snoop Dogg’s The Cali to Canada Tour.

Problem Is Back & He’s Speaking Wins Into Existence (Video)

Having focused on his Rosecrans EP with DJ Quik in 2016 and then the full Rosecrans album in 2017, Problem has been busy. The artist who came in the game with Snoop Dogg and Quik has had less time for solo endeavors in recent years. Well, to celebrate the five-year anniversary of his fan-favorite mixtape, Separation, with DJ Drama, the Compton, California MC/producer dropped S2 (Separation 2) in November of last year.

The 20-track project featured everybody from fellow West coast warriors Iamsu!, Mozzy, and 03 Greedo, to cross-country young guns like Nick Grant and Dave East, to industry luminaries like Diddy and Fabolous. Problem has established a solid reputation from his years of grinding in the game, which seems clear from his S2 guest line-up.

Problem Blows The Top Off Over A Thunderous 9th Wonder Production (Video)

To kick 2019 off right, Chachi recently dropped a video for the mellow banger “I’m Cool.” This piano-and-808-driven joint is all about concerning oneself solely with getting paid after relationships and hustling have proven to be detrimental. You can tell the artist born Jason Martin has hard times and a crazy life, yet has managed to distill motivation out of his experiences. Fittingly, he samples SOB x RBE 2016 hit “Anti” for the hook, “Lil’ ni**a back, back / F*ck where that ass at / B*tch, where that cash at?” He doubles up the last line to emphasize his drive to stack dividends.

Diamond Lane Music Group’s franchise player lets his ex (and the world) know that he’s in a good head-space when he spits, “My mind different, I’m listening more, talking less / Ain’t focused on L’s, I’m talking best / I’m talking wins / I’m speaking wins into existence / Thank God for his persistence / Ugh! ‘Cause I was letting him down / F*ck where that ass at, ‘cause baby girl we past that / You ain’t mine, so why would I even ask that? / I’m on the fast track / You still trying to flashback.
