Kurupt aka Young Gotti presents his West Coast protege Immense

Who is Immense?

Immense is a Los Angelese based rapper who've worked behind the scenes in the music industry for years before gaining his own international fame. After attempting to organize a westcoast reunion compilation and tour which never saw the light of day due to industry politics and distribution troubles, he still had the drive and blueprint to formulate a project that would unify the entire westcoast, from the northern-most area all the way to the south of California. In an interview with www.wcrydaz.com Immense goes on to explain, "One day in 2005 I just decided that I wanted to try to do another album that can start the process of the West Coast reuniting and becoming one. So I got on the phone and started calling my homeboys in this rap game. They was all in love with the idea and this is what came from it -- Kurupt presents Immense: Protect the West (West Coast Mixtape Vol.1)!!! An album by the West Coast for the West Coast... and everyone else who rides with us!"

After releasing his highly acclaimed mixtape series Protect the West. Immense quickly had gained a huge fanbase and a major street buzz. Major record labels also took notice and even the modern day King of Rap Jay-Z wanted a piece of the action.

Immense Background

Immense was introduced to the world as a protege of Dogg Pound member Kurupt aka Young Gotti. "Kurupt is one of my mentors in this game. I'm fortunate to have a lot of cats on my team who I can get knowledge whenever I need it. CJ Mac, Tone Toven, Battlecat, Suge Knight, Big U, DJ Uneek all help me man! I ride for them and they all ride for me!

But Kurupt takes me with him to the studio to watch how he put things down, explains things to me and coaches me on bringin out the best from myself. He alwayz make sure that I understand that if I need somethin, then just call him. He's very bright and alwayz helpful to me. I'm very fortunate and appreciative to be able to be taught by a legend like him. I'm even more blessed to have him present me in this rap game. To put his name behind me and tell the fans that 'Yo Immense is my boy, so accept him like you accept me and the Pound!' means the world to me and I'm dedicated not to let him down," said Immense about the DPG vet.

To Jay-Z or not to Jay-Z?

In response to certain rumors floating around that Immense was signing to, or negotiating a deal with a supposed west coast division of Roc-A-Fella, Immense had this to say:

"Man that's an interesting situation. But I just tell everyone who ask me that it's just a rumor. Just like me BEING SIGNED TO DEATHROW! But I won't say too much but I will say this. Just like they say: "all rumors have some truth to it"....so the world will just have to wait and see how this story unfolds."

Immense also just recently released a mixtape dvd titled "Who Is Immense" He's also hard at work on a music video and 2 upcoming DVD projects.
