Granted, it's been more than a minute since i checked for an MC Eight solo but anyone with even a passing knowledge of west coast hip hop knows that Compton's Most Wanted were far more than just the poor mans NWA (as i once read in an early 90's issue of RapPages).
1992's Striaght Checkin' Em could probably be considered the groups creative apex, but there's no denying Eiht has been doing his "Compton thang" for sometime now with varying results.
With 20 releases under his belt ( CMW, solo outings and the stuff he did with Spice1) as well as a Snoop Dogg co-sign it seems like MC Eiht might be back, rejuvenated and with a new direction after signing to DJ Premier's imprint Year Round Records.
I've also heard the NYG'z have a guest spot alongside Marco Polo who is providing some of the beats to the forth-coming album, Which Way Is West.
Here's an album preview....
.... and here's an early (very classic) CMW and DJ Premier team up, Def Wish II (Remix).
