San Bernardino, CA-based MC/producer Westside Bugg began rapping as a child and fell in with the Zoo Crew during his teen years. He set up a studio, dubbed The Roach Motel, and broke into production, eventually working with Kurupt, Bone, and onetime American Idol contestant Corey Clark. Signed as an MC to the Native label, he released The Roach Motel in early 2007. ~ Andy Kellman
