The Cataracs are going to take Clear Channel by storm in the very near future. Already having cracked the airwaves in the Bay Area and LA, The Berkeley duo has a pop pizzazz the industry fawns over, while also being a hit with rappers like E-40, Ya Boy, Clyde Carson and now Glasses Malone.

“I Get Dough” showcases why The Cataracs are the ideal vehicle for emcees trying to capture that ever-elusive cross over hit. Not only are The Cata great hook writers, but Cyrano’s potent pop production can ease even a gangster rapper like Glasses Malone into a new comfort zone. Of course it doesn’t hurt that this particular song is dedicated to making money, a concept that’s about as American as humping apple pies.

Glasses isn’t a perfect fit for this track, but he does show off some decent lyricism. The stand out line being his political description of his car, “Dark body, white guts, call it Colin Powell.” In can’t be ignored however, that it’s the Berkeley boys that put one in the win column for the Watts emcee. West Up!

And here’s a dope little short featuring footage from The Cataracs’ recent Oakland show at The New Parish.
