WEST 10 was a concept the 2 artists came up with while working on new music together after a 7 year break. It was obvious the 2 had matured as musicians, therefore, the music they were making was quite different from their previous releases. “We wanted to incorporate more live instruments into our music” said J Cage when asked about the new project. The group is continuing to evolve their sound and looks forward to making great music for many years to come. When asked the question “Who is West 10?” the group had this to say, “West 10 are two hip hop heads from the West Tennessee Countryside and our music reflects our environment.” West 10 is a little more rap than country, but these country boys from the south display their southern-country twang on every track. 808’s and Steel Guitars are primary staples in West 10’s production which classifies their music as Country Rap. One thing is certain, this talented group never disappoints, bringing heat on everthing they touch.
