Southern Slang: The Album is in the "mixing" stage and will be finished very soon.  The album features guest appearances from C-Loc, T-Bo, Nero, Heno, Mookie, Mike da Hustla, Lil Witness, and Chaotic.  Most of the production was done by Chaotic and Mr. Clever.

Southern Slang: The Album will be mastered by Digital Services in Houston, TX.  Digital Services has done work for artists such as Scarface, Geto Boys, Ice Cube, Destiny's Child, SPM, etc.

The South Coast Coalition has decided to not sign with WorldWide Records.  Instead, their next album will drop under their own label, Dirty South Productions.  Next month, we will list the guest appearances for S.C.C.'s fourth release, Southern Slang: The Album.

The S.C.C., T-Bo, and Mike da Hustla have just finished the remix to "Bad Azz Whiteboyz".  The remix was produced by Mr. Clever for Clever Soundz.  The song also contains an eight bar intro by Cat Daddy, who is a DJ for Max 94.1 in Baton Rouge. Also, T-Bo and S.C.C. have collaborated on another Clever track, "What's Up, What's Happenin". Both tracks will appear on the next S.C.C. album.

The South Coast Coalition has been offered a 7-year record deal with WorldWide Records.  At this point, they have not signed but are in the process of negotiation.  If signed, the S.C.C. will still retain 100% of its writers' publishing.

In the meantime, the S.C.C. has just started recording for their next project, Southern Slang: The Album.  Due to better quality equipment, all material recorded in the last few months will either be recorded again or thrown out.  This will be the first album that the S.C.C. will have recorded, engineered, and mixed themselves.
