Zuma Dogg's Summer Jamz of 2007
()
Memorial Day kicks off summer which means we can finally show the world our ripped bodies we've been working on all winter and skateboard down the boardwalk grinding to our favorite summer jamz.
City Hall's favorite taxpayer, Zuma Dogg was nice enough to share with us what we would probably hear if we wound up over at his pad sharing mother nature and working on plans to save the world.
Sez ZD:
Support for LAist comes from
Where do you start? I like electronic/trance/ambiant the most, when it is available; like on satellite or the right internet cafe. Reggae, too. (Both are underplayed on LA radio.) But here are 20 influential albums in the life of ZD. And to everyone I have met, spoken to on the phone, corresponded with by email, everyone quietly paying attention, and those who covered my community activism this past year...heeeel yeaaaaaaaah! Oh the realest, Dough! www.zumadogg.blogspot.com
Check out his jamz after the jump.

Or if you refuse to surf anywhere other than LAist and YouTube, ZD created a music video channel on youtube at www.youtube.com/toptubes. "Since we are talking about music, you can really see what inspires ZD, cause I'm more of a 'music' fan, than anything else in life.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
