Daz/Holloway House Giveaway Free CD's With Donald Goines Books

West coast veteran Daz of Tha Dogg Pound and Holloway House have teamed for a promotion to give away copies of Daz' latest Virgin/So So Def release So So Gangsta with every purchase of a novel by legendary author Donald Goines.
Fans of "gangsta
rap" and street literature will receive a copy of the rapper's latest album for free, any time one of Goines' sixteen influential novels are purchased.
Goines, who was murdered in October of 1974, has influenced countless
rap artists through novels such as "Black Girl Lost," "Black Gangster," and "Street Players."
Two of his works, "Crime Partners" and "Never Die Alone," were turned into movies that featured rappers who are fans of his works, including
DMX, Snoop Dogg and Ice-T.

new movies.
"I got a movie Go Hard that I’m producing with Snoop and Kurupt and DJ Pooh [Friday, The Wash, 3 Strikes]coming soon," Daz told AllHipHop.com in a recent interview. "I got another movie coming out called My Summer Production with Ice Cube and the trailer to the movie is included on the disc for the album. We just hustlin’ for real."
The first video from So So Gangsta is titled "On Some Real," which features Miami rapper
Rick Ross.
So So Gangsta features production by Daz, Scott Storch, Jermaine Dupri, No ID and L-Roc, as well as guest appearances by The Clipse, Nate Dogg, Young Buck, Redman, Jagged Edge, Da Brat and others. .
