"West Coast" is a song by American rappers G-Eazy and Blueface, released on February 28, 2019 and produced by Julia Lewis. It contains a sample of " Let's Ride" by Richie Rich. An official remix of the song featuring American rappers Allblack and YG was released a month later.
The song appears on the soundtrack of the 2019 American film Beats.
"West Coast" is a house-tinged song [1] that uses a loop sampling the chorus of "Let's Ride". [2] [3] [4] It is considered an ode to California. [5] Performing in a laid-back flow, G-Eazy hints at releasing new music in the summer. [2] [3] He also brags in his verse that his last album ( The Beautiful & Damned) provides for his grandchildren, he drives a black Ferrari, and has an endorsement with Puma. [4] Blueface calls himself the "face of the West Coast" [2] [3] [4] and centers on what he loves about California, specifically the women and marijuana, while also using his viral phrases. [4]
Trey Alston of MTV wrote of the song, "It barely runs above two minutes, but the pair's chemistry and obvious infatuation with their birthplace makes it a lively, and also slightly adorable, listen." [4] Emmanuel Maduakolam of Hypebeast gave a positive review, commenting the song "captures the exciting new California energy and channels it into a perfect slapper. The Bay and L.A. connect for an excellent party record that should be played at high levels." [6]
An official remix of the song was released on March 28, 2019, and features verses from Allblack and YG. Allblack raps in a fast-paced flow (which has been compared to that of E-40) and compares himself to NBA player Spud Webb, [7] [8] while YG explains his connection to Blueface. [7]
The music video was filmed in February 2019 [9] and directed by Daniel CZ. It is shot in black-and-white and features neon accents from animator Ofir Shoham. [10] The video shows palm trees, hyphy dancing, Crip and Blood- walking, [11] and luxury vehicles doing donuts in abandoned parking lots. [12] G-Eazy and Blueface cruise up Fairfax Avenue of Los Angeles in the former's black Ferrari, [7] [10] [11] [12] [13] while the latter flaunts a stack of cash and dances in the street alongside a bouncing lowrider driven by Ty Dolla Sign. [10] The clip features cameos from local rappers E-40, Richie Rich, P-Lo, Yung Pinch, Kossisko, Haiti Babii, Guapdad 4000 and Danny Seth. [10] [14]
G-Eazy, Blueface and Allblack performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 29, 2019. [15]
