He's nearly as exuberant as his older brother and just as mouthy, and his 17-year-old mentality makes for plenty of brash and fun-minded good-time fodder.

Hutton ("Shakedown"), and DJ Quik ("Get Flipped") - who bless Roscoe with party-ready beats and catchy hooks galore.

Well-known before he even released his first album (because he's the younger brother of West Coast loudmouth Kurupt), Roscoe measures up to his inflated reputation as well as his presumable potential on his well-assembled debut album, Young Roscoe Philaphornia.
