Juziah - Come Thru (Official Audio)
What’s good y’all? It’s a Friday night going in Saturday morning and we here with the late night vibes provided by the 775 representative, Juziah. Fresh off his latest release with his single “Come Thru” as a smooth way to close out the summer. If there’s one thing you can guarantee, that Juziah keeps a pretty lady on his side. What else can you say? It’s just a part of the lifestyle, women come and go. Juziah just wants see what’s good with it while the opportunity is present.
“Baby you a little shawty that I’m tryna get to know well. I’m catching your vibe just like Odell. Baby fuck a snack, you the whole meal. I’m tryna get your ass to the hotel.”
There’s no time for games, Juziah takes the honest approach and let’s it be known from the jump what he’s trying to get into with ol’ girl. She may not be Mrs. Right but if it’s right for now then that’s good enough for a night. We aren’t here for a long time so why not? Ever see someone look so good that it don’t make sense? If the vibes are there, then get a little closer to see what they’re trying to say to you. No one is here to be in your business though. What is going on in your personal doesn’t matter? The past is not really important if we here together now. So you don’t got to speak on what you been dealing with, just slide one time and try to forget all that for a minute. If things play out the right way, the perfect escape can be found.
”Baby I been patient, baby I been waiting. Tryna to get in touch and girl you know I’m tryna taste it.”
When you got your eye on something, you really don’t stop thinking about it until you’re able to find out for yourself. The mysterious allure of someone new can be tedious as the suspense builds up. Juziah plays it cool of course, ladies love what he’s putting down. So it’s only natural that shorty might be noticing him noticing too. Even if it’s nothing permanent, the feeling is authentic and how can you deny that? Everyone is grown around here, so just let it happen if it’s meant to be. Whatever happens behind closed doors is no one else’s business and they won’t need to find out. So come through and feel something real. It’s been a while since a vibe like this crossed your path, so approach it with an open mind shorty. You never know, you might just have the time of your life.
There’s not much else to think about, if you with it, I’m with it. Life is too short to not know what you want. The song speaks for itself, if you with that and can relate then this song is a must play. Does this song remind you of someone? Tag em in the comments on the IG page and let them know this song is for them! You’re not down.

OG David James - ROTTWEILER (Official Music Video)
“I was hella broke, ain’t no money piling.
That’s why I’m coming in the game like a Rottweiler.
To make it in my city, that is not common.
See I been rocking 5 plus, I’m a Godfather.”
What’s good y’all? The last week saw some heavy hitters out the regional scene release new music for their listeners to enjoy. This forecast pertains to the Oxnard born, Reno raised spitter who goes by OG David James. While teasing an upcoming project, David let’s go of a single along with a set of visuals for a track titled “ROTTWEILER.” It’s been a consistent year of releases for the young artist and this release reminds us that he’s not letting off the gas anytime soon. The Chech “the Alien” directed visuals are some of David’s best yet.
The first verse, David comes in true form, speaking on personal experiences directly through the heart. Still healing from the repercussions of his complicated past, David consciously works on personal growth daily. Being upfront and honest has become his greatest strength in taking control of his life. The first few bars that start the song tell us just that. Outside of his own personal hurdles, the environment he was brought up was not the most encouraging or healthy. Much like everywhere, the ones you grow together with tend to love you more if they can see your flaws coming through in your lifestyle. People don’t really love you like they say they do but it’s good, you need people like that to remind you that no one but you will give you the drive.
After taking time to sharpen his sword, David approaches every record with a new fire. All the support and help that his genuine people give us appreciated. Moving from his city where all his relationships were made was a daunting step and made him realize who was really there for him and who wasn’t. He doesn’t take it personal, he peeps what he needs to and focuses on working for what he wants in life. “If I gave your ass the time, tell me why the fuck you lie. I was in the next state, know it’s like a plane away. But you know it hard when you putting 40 inside a week.”
”They knew from the city where I started repping. They knew me for the old me, I was adolescent. I told them I was hungry, they ain’t get the message. So I carried all the L’s and turned them into lessons.”
Ever since a much younger age, David has had his eyes of the goal. Not sure how he was going to make it or what path it would require but he knew that’s what he wanted. Focus is much harder to come across in these times, not much is different from now and then. With not too many people who believed in that same vision, it sparked something in David. Most would be discouraged and give up on their dream but that’s not the case here. Over time, once he built up the skills, David took everything he learned from his home and made the leap of faith to a bigger arena.
Since he left, he took off running and hasn’t looked back since. Doing everything he can to network and elevate the craft, all while representing from the city that helped him grow into the man he is today. There’s nothing he can to repay everyone for the love (and hate) except for make the city look good everywhere he goes. There’s no ill will or hard feelings, he left to open his avenues and get them room he needs to get to the next level of artistry. So to everyone who knew him before, just know he hasn’t changed but he isn’t trying to stay the same. He hopes you do the same and to take his journey to help inspire you to begin yours. Remember, if you’re hungry for it, no one will remind you to eat or save you a plate. It’s all on you to get that for yourself.
The record is a short one but very telling of David’s head space right now. He’s in a good place and wants others to always push themselves to go for what you want. Life is too short to be hesitant, you got to approach it like a Rottweiler. Big dogs need big bowls, take what’s meant for you and don’t let anyone else be the reason why you don’t reach your potential.
If you haven’t already, give the song a stream and watch the video above. Follow OG David James on the button below. You won’t regret it, you’ll find it to be good music consistently.

J’illa & RichE OnOne - Ready 4 Whatever (Official Music Video
“I’m just ready for whatever, I’m just ready for it all.
Tell these broke n****s I’m just really tryna ball.
I’m just ready for whatever, I’m just ready for it all.
They only ride it out when they see you have it all. ”
What’s good y’all? With summer coming to a close, plenty of new music has been falling out of the sky the last few weeks. Today the forecast puts the spot light on another gem from the city of Reno, NV. A local favorite, J’illa links up with PakCity rep RichE On One for a banger titled “Ready4 Whatever.” An anthem for anyone who really about that go getter mentality. The video directed by @SippinVisuals brings the song to life and shows the day in the life of a music artist in their city. The video starts off with J’illa getting ready to hit the studio with RichE to make some heat in the booth. A brief cameo from LaDontrae, reminds viewers about the support that J’illa receives from her city and the music scene that belongs to it.
“It’s been a long couple months but I ain’t looking back. Look I’m ready for whatever, I’m just ready to attack. Look these bitches say they loyal but be talking behind your back. And these n****s say they faithful but be hiding where they at.”
Off the dribble, J’illa lets it be known that she isn’t letting her guard down and letting nobody take advantage of her. In the past, she may have let her kindness be taken for weakness but lessons have been learned and mistakes won’t be made like that again. She’s locked in and ready to take her craft to a new level. Going in over an eerie instrumental with that slump-filled bass line. In the video, her and the role played by LaDontrae have a brief argument before leaving to go handle her business. In between shots of her getting suited up for the game that she’s actively in. With something rolled and the fit laced up proper, there’s nothing that’s going to knock her off her game. The verse is filled with direct communication of what is and what is no longer tolerated. If it doesn’t contribute to her growth then she ain’t here for it. She’s out them feelings and elbow deep in her bag, the fuck is you talking bout? She’s on a mission and she’s got something to show for it. If you ain’t on the same page, or even close enough to relate, then you already left behind.
The cut scene shows RichE when he’s about to link up with J’illa to lay down a track, then they immediately decide to film a scene for the track where RichE comes in on verse two. Visually bringing to life the work ethic of the up and coming artists you might find in J’illa’s circle.
“I don’t chase a bitch, I don’t chase a bag. Money come to me, like when I hit the ass. Money make it burrr, money make it fast. When you chasing her, you gonna make it last.”
RichE goes in with a grimy verse about the same mission. Focusing on the goal of taking this rap shit to the next level. The lifestyle comes with a lot. Fake people, haters, bitches, and, when done right, money. RichE has something to say about all of the above topics. Fitting perfect on the choice of beat for the record, RichE naturally just talks his shit the only way he knows how. The icy vocals serving as a metaphor for how cold things can be when you want to be in this game or even the street side of things where he’s from. Taking what he learned from his past and applying it to his future is what the vibes come to be. Don’t try to cross him or do anything to mess with his bag to avoid the negative side of things. If it’s love then it’s love. He’s trying to put on for his section and is trying to speak for his people. If your bitch notices then don’t hate, it wasn’t meant to be. The sauce is on heavy for him these days.
It’s safe to say these two are locked in and ready to represent for their hometown of Reno. The collaboration bringing together two different movements of young talent and showing the world that great artists come form anywhere. Here at weather watcher we are looking forward to where these two artist take it next. Have you followed these artists? If not, click the button below and see what they are up to in their grind. Plenty of bangers for you to binge on. Run it up!

Stevie - Westside Love Story (Album)
Release Date: 7/30/2021 (Soundcloud)
Streaming Platform Release Date: 8/15/2021
What’s good y’all? Pardon the slight delay but we are back to the regularly schedules program. Today’s forecast, we pedaling back to cover the latest project release from the artist known as STEVIE. Last month in August, we saw the release of “Westside Love Story” on all streaming platforms. A dope collection that paints a picture of the complications faced in a modern day romance where he’s from. Without further delay, let’s get into the project. Run it up!
The first record is titled “Long Way” and introduces the artist’s perspective on the love of his life. To have trust in another and security in their actions is next level trust. The type of bond that doesn’t require 24/7 presence. In the absence of each other’s company, no feelings are lost or found elsewhere. When the intimacy is built upon genuine mutualism, it’s something that you will never have to second guess. Sometimes it’s better to create that space and let each other do yourselves. When the connection is made again, you’ll pick back up where you left off and the vibe will not have skipped a beat. No matter where I’m at or where you been, just know when the time is right that I’m a be there for you. I fuck with you the long way.
An ode to your ride or die. Bless the woman who can understand and be willing to accompany on your journey. To make your lady feel secure is not hard to do. Very little is required to be said but true reassurance can be communicated through action. So always keeping her close and being proud to have them on your way up is the best thing you can do. Anyone willing to put themselves in a position to make your grind easier is worth keeping around. It’s safe to say they earned that seat in the foreign once it comes around. To uplift the one who held you down is a blessing that only a real one can selflessly do for a patient woman who bleeds loyalty. All gas, no brakes, we gon’ take it to the top with each other for as long as you want to ride.
Click the button above to see what the weather watcher had to say about “Genuine” off this project. Watch the video above if you haven’t already. This one is addictive.
On this track, Stevie recruits CZB Bambi on the feature. When she’s a bad one, there’s not much you can do but help shorty thrive. Respect her right to choose and understand they’ll go where they want to be. There’s no controlling but if you show that trust in her she can’t find no where else, how can she not fuck with something real. Everyone can gas her up or tell her what she wants to hear but honesty sticks out. “I never talk about women with other women, that shit is for women. Love her mixed signals, what is you sending?” Sometimes you don’t have to talk about the past or what y’all been through before. Everyone has a past and a history but not everyone can see their future. To get out your feelings and in your bag with someone is a rare incidence but not impossible. When the potential is there, it’s on you to bring out the best in that and leave the negativity in the rearview.
A memorable moment in the project comes with “Mandatory” as we get a break from the heavy subject matter. Stevie takes an intermission from the love story with quick in and out track to provide some bars for the rap heads. The heavy bass line and plucking instrumental contrast with the vocals of the artist that brings a new dimension to the music itself. Although the record does not have a defined concept, it provides some of the best punch lines and quotables on the tape. “I don’t hold no grudge against the bitch, the money is the payback. And if you don’t do head then please motherfucking say that.” Don’t let the love songs fool you, STEVIE goes in when it’s necessary.
A special moment in the project is found in “Get It Right” with a feature from Juziah. The two artists link together and create nothing short of a god damn vibe. “I don’t care who you think of at night, long as we gon get it right.” Stevie starts off the first verse and speaks on the bad one who caught his attention. Unable to really say what it is about shorty that stands out but the feeling can’t be fought. Juziah takes off effortlessly right after the hook from Stevie. Juziah tells listeners about the shorty who he’s trying to get it right with you. She might be apprehensive about messing with a rapper. You can probably guess what to expect but that ain’t the case. Juziah lets it be known that everything about him is authentic. You don’t have to be worried about being fed lies, Juziah calls it how he sees it. No mixed signals over here, if you are down to slide then don’t hesitate. Don’t let something real intimidate you. All things require effort, eventually you’re going to figure it out and get it right if it’s meant to be. Why not try to find out?
All things that glitter ain’t always gold. Sometimes you got to fall back to show them what they missing out on if they aren’t fulfilling their side of the effort. You got to let them go find out what they think is out there. Stevie takes the first verse to tell a bitch to take a long walk off a short bridge before BBK Pe$o takes over on the hook. Further stamping the message into the instrumental about a bitch doing bad elsewhere. A falling out doesn’t bring the world to an end and only leaves room to level the playing field. Go out and go find better if you’re taking this for granted. Sacrifices are made on both ends but all that petty shit is out the window. She got to do better cause happiness is built and not found. So whatever you choose to do, it’s going to require work either way. If you have to question your dedication to a difficult situation, your loyalty was never solid to begin with. No more back and forth, if you’re unhappy then pack a bag.
Stevie provides an essential vibe with an artist named Liyah in the hook of this record. “The way my body shivers and it shakes when you make me scream your name. We don’t have time to waste, you know I ain’t here to play no games.” Sometimes the tension and hurt dished out can’t be fixed with words. The physical needs to sort these things out and the release into each other before the smoke clears. The pain caused is really just a cry for the deepest form of intimacy and love. With the pent up frustration let out, there’s a moment of clarity. You see this person in their most vulnerable state, the unimportant arguments don’t matter and all their wrong doings do not define their worth. To bask in the moment of each other’s presence and touch is a language that knows no words. Although it may be temporary, you are briefly brought back to a more level headed perspective of who you’re dealing with and what you’re willing to compromise on to make it work in the long run.
The best way to conclude a rollercoaster of feelings, Stevie ends the project with “Westside Love Story pt. 2.” The title serves as a follow up from the “Westside Love Story” track on his last project “Burn.” Regardless of the last visitation of the concept, part 2 sums up all the feelings felt through the WSL project. “Sometimes you hella difficult, sometimes you owning up. Sometimes I don’t care and sometimes I care too much. That’s the beauty of this shit though. If things was perfect all the time, we wouldn’t feel relief from shit we got to let go.” Accountability works both ways and being able to have difficult conversations are part of it. Everything we ever gone through shapes how we go through the rest of our lives, but everything that defines us has nothing to do with another individual. To let go of the pride and accept that learning is required from both sides is hard. There’s no shame to admit that you’re wrong or need someone’s attention to help keep yourself grounded. No one needs anyone to be secure or happy but to allow yourself to be an open book with someone who knows how to care for your pages is all we really need. It can take a lifetime, it can take a moment, or you can take it for granted and never find out. Being right all the time isn’t right. Find that one who can bring out the honesty and build your character. Allow each other to acknowledge your flaws and find a way to help heal beyond it. That’s what applying pressure really means. Speaking from the deepest parts of your heart and mind while learning each other’s boundaries can set that foundation. Nothing about trying to get it right is easy but being willing to try to learn is the first step.
How did you feel about this Westside Love Story? Give it a listen and follow the artist below. Plenty more music on the way from Stevie, so tap in and stay tuned.

Cast Away$ - Effortless (Official Music Video)
What’s good everyone? You’re tuned in the WW music forecast, reviewing the best music in the region. Today is no different than most on the WW Radar. The vibe for today’s blog is provided by the Lake Tahoe spitters, Cast Away$. Before proceeding, here at WW, all prayers and thoughts are with the people of Lake Tahoe being affected by the current fires. Send positive vibes to Cast Away$ and their loved ones who are being evacuated. Focusing on more positive matters, their latest single “Effortless” received a visual treatment. The Raiin produced song was mixed/mastered by Bozzy and the video was directed/edited by JWar In The Kitchen. A nice set of visuals for a song that rides pretty steady in the whip.
“Try and test the gang, we don’t play. I been running plays for while, we cannot say. We might just pull up on your block, give a fuck the time of day. Got the section going wild, I don’t think nobody safe.”
O.D. kicks off the first verse and pops his shit over the heavy baseline of the beat. There’s no time to be humble, he’s looking for respect. Truthfully, the whole crew been on their shit. Taking the craft serious as ever and investing everything into it. So they can’t tolerate anyone trying to downplay the growth. Although in the beginning it was much harder to get a little time from others, that is not the case now. People might be taking notice to the progress made and finally taking them serious. You weren’t there in the gym shooting, so coming around now isn’t genuine and serves no purpose. Fake support is something the Cast Away$ aren’t feeling and O.D. tells it like it is in his verse. Never being concerned with the negativity, the crew sticks with those who truly support the grind. Anyone else can keep that same energy, now that they know how far they can take it.
“The only time you love me when I’m banging 808s again. A fantasy inside your brain a dragon burning everything. Nobody in a suit of armor coming, better run my friend.”
Kasper takes over second and brings in a switch in melody, further elaborating on the sentiments being shared by O.D. The insincerity is felt from all around. No matter how you slice it, friend or lover, they’re all capable of being users. People love the idea of what you can provide to their lives. Stability, security, or sanity. Now that things are looking more professional and opportunities are arising, people will do anything to see what’s beyond those doors. You’d be surprised what people would believe or put up with just for some sort of instant gratification. Come to realize that there was no real intention of getting to know you truly. There’s really no way of dealing with them, other than just keeping that from an arm’s distance. You are only as good as the people who are good to you. So what you tolerate or condone, is ultimately a reflection of your own self respect. It’s best to learn who you’re dealing with and move accordingly.
“How we come from the distance then end up in this position. I knew they wouldn’t be winning if I just kept with a mission.”
Sins hops on the verse last and puts the nail in the coffin for any doubters. Whether it be day ones who fell out or haters who don’t know what the crew is about. Even if they understood, they couldn’t have done what they’ve accomplished if given the chance to walk the shoes. There’s something to be said about keeping your head down and working. Once you focus long enough, you can take the time to see where you’re at and those around you. You may find there’s less people around then when you first started working at it. That only means you’re doing it right. At higher levels of what you choose to do with your life, less people tend to stick it out as things become more challenging. Something my mother said to me, once before, comes to mind: “There’s no such thing as free lunch.” Let alone a free ride. Everything gained, every step taken forward, and every opportunity granted is not by accident. You need to pay into the benefits you sought to reap. Most won’t get it if they don’t got it. The way these three work, you don’t got to worry. If you ever have to question your support for what they got going on, it only shows how little they need it from you.
Go stream the record on all platforms and follow the crew under the Spotify player below. Stay tuned for what is coming next from the boys down in Tahoe. One thing you can expect, is a whole lot more work. Don’t underestimate an underdog. The Cast Away$ are hungry for more and this record only validates that.
