Golden State Project

about

Hip-hop project starring West Coast rappers Xzibit, Ras Kass and Saafir. They were originally going to be called The Golden State Warriors until they got a 'cease and desist' letter from the NBA basketball team of the same name. The trio was supposed to deliver a full-length called "The Coast is Clear" as the first release on Xzibit's now defunct Open Bar Entertainment imprint. This was right around the time of the major success X was enjoying with 2001's "Restless", and had everything gone down as planned Golden State would've probably made a lot of noise around the same time. As is often the case when dealing with multiple artists signed to different labels, Priority wouldn't release Ras Kass from his contract for the release.
