The group gained the backing and support of producing legend DJ Battlecat who has produced hits for Snoop Dogg and just about every major star on the West Coast. “There was a time when we were younger that he didn’t want to work with us but as we grew, we earned his respect. It wasn’t just given to us”, says Joey WestSide on the group’s relationship with DJ Battlecat.
