B.C. Williamson - The Official Website

You may recognize the famous Connecticut rapper Reh Dogg from his smash hit YouTube video 'Why Must I Cry'.  But now B.C. Williamson is announcing a collaborative single effort between the two. Reh Dogg - in an unprecedented move for rap and blues music - recorded some extra verses for B.C.'s 1953 classic, Shotgun Blues. Meanwhile, B.C. is recording a cover version of Reh's classic 'Why Must I Cry'. The tracks, to be completed this week, will be released exclusively on iTunes download. Also, a music video - mixing new clips of Reh Dogg and classic archive footage of B.C. in his prime - will be produced by both artist's studios. "Of course, rap has roots in blues, so this is a huge move in the history of rap and blues as a music form. I don't think anyone has done this before, so I'm real excited." said B.C. this morning. Stay tuned for release dates and further information.
