When you visit San Diego, California you see a beautiful, ocean city known to the world as the home of the major league Padres and the NFL's Chargers. Home to the Marine Corps training camp and Sea World. Called the "leisure capital of the world" its hard to believe your eyes when you stumble into the mean streets of Southeast San Diego, a place where middle class homes are scattered among low income housing, a place where murder and drugs is an everyday thing. It's no different than where you are from, they just hide it better.
They say that "necessity is the mother of invention" and so is the case with the birth of Sidewayz. Born out of the streets of Southeast San Diego Sidewayz laid down their plans to takeover their city and eventually the whole West Coast!
In 2002, Sidewayz would get their first chance to show the world their talent when they secured distribution at then rap powerhouse Bayside Distribution. The subsequent album entitled simply "The Komp" would be a blueprint for things to come and featured the entire Sidewayz roster along with West Coast heavyweights, Messy Marv, Mac Dre, Luni Coleone, and more. In 2004, the team continued their commitment to excellence with the release of the well received "Overhated and Underrated" album, a duo between Macnificent and R. Beta a.k.a. Beta Bossalini which was released nationwide through Navarre Distribution.
The Sidewayz boys continued their power-push by linking up with two West Coast legends in 2004, the late great Mac Dre and Suga Free. Before Mac Dre so tragically passed away, Sidewayz was recording an album with him entitled "Mac Dre presents Starterz In The Game". At the same time, Beta Bossalini and Macnificent also have solidified their positions as power players through their group album with Sugafree entitled "Secret Congregation".
2005 proved to also be a busy year for Sidewayz as they released the ultra successful compilation with Sacramento legend Luni Coleone entitled "Anger Management". Sidewayz did not rest on any of their successes either as they have already released four volumes of their "Sidewayz mixtape series as well as 2006's already well received compilation with Chicano rap legend Mr. Shadow entitled "Thug Connection".
The future is bright for Sidewayz Entertainment as is their commitment to the grind, and hustle and expansion of their empire. Stay tuned so you can stay juiced. sidewayz the future.. SIDE OR DIE!
