Undeniably one of hip hop’s the most prolific talents, The LockWest Monster aka “LockWest” has his sights high as he sets out to create a space for himself atop hip hop’s totem pole!
The Cali native hails from the city of Lynwood, located in the heart of Los Angeles’ urban area. His 2007 debut album “The LockWest Monster” and the 2009 sophomore follow-up “Hip Hop’s Arc Angel” are absolute underground classics! Summer of 2011 he returned with his 1st mixtape “JUGGERNAUT VOL. 1” and shook the world with a new found swag of lyricism over top-notch industry tracks…almost making every song his own original. Though each one of the projects were amazing in their own right, nothing could compare to his latest mixtape titled “NO BATTERIES, SOLO POWERED” which is arguably one of the “dopest” projects of any artist independent or signed! With tracks like “The Vibe”, “Loud”, “Heart’s Emission” and a remix of Drake & Rick Ross’ “Lord Knows”, the tape created a viral frenzy thus earning him his current status of a pure undiscovered super-talent, and remains his most downloaded and patronized project to date!
Having been around and worked along side some of hip hop’s best west coast talent like the Game, Crooked i, Ecay Uno and many others, LockWest has definitely answered the bell of high expectation for a true mc. He embodies the best of lyricism with concepts, cadence and street-like wit and “spit”… a combination that is no question unparalleled.
For the year 2013 the expectations from others nowhere near supersedes the expectations he has for himself. His journey to the top is soon to be one of the most compelling to see and be a part of ... “LOCKWEST GET’EM!!!”
