Damaged Goodz was in the Daily Record (20.06.07) talking about his latest gig with Xzibit. The article is below...
Goodz signs for Scot
RAPPER Xzibit shocked Scots star Damaged Goodz by asking for a copy of his CD.
Glaswegian Goodz supported the American at his Garage gig at the weekend. And it was Xzibit and his DJ who came looking for the Scot afterwards, and a copy of his latest album, Blissphemy.
He said: "Xzibit's DJ thought my set was amazing. They'll be writing again soon so hopefully they'll use my beats for a song or two."
Damaged Goodz is next playing the Barfly in Glasgow on Sunday, July 8, with other acts.
Charlie Sloth's latest track, 'Can't Forget About The UK' has just been remixed by Glasgows own Mixmasters of Kung-Fu.
Charlie Sloth loved the mix so much he is using it for the video which will be played all over MTV and other music channels.
The track is available here.
