Cavie

Born and raised in Compton, producer/rapper Caviar (aka Cavie) on the mic and behind the scenes: Cavie's inspiration dates back to '88 when his buddy DJ Train came back after touring with Eazy-E. DJ Train had more money than Caviar had ever seen, enough to persuade him to change his hustle from the streets to the rap game. In the early days, you could find Cavie working with west coast legends like Above the Law and DOC. and opening up for Westside Connection, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and E40. In the ninetees, Cavie and close friend Staino formed the West Coast Goon Squad. Years later, he signed a deal with Black Ground Records and worked with Aaliyah, Tank, Toni Braxton and Timbaland (who he also had his first single with, "Bouncin' Down the Boulevard"). In 2001, he produced and rapped in the single for the Million Family March soundtrack also featuring Kam, Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe, Rage, Mack 10, Sincere and Drag-On with a special cameo by Louis Farrakhan.

Xzibit Speaks On Upcoming Movies And T.I. Collaboration

August 5th, 2008 | Author: Omar Burgess



Since he hasn't released an album in about two years, it's easy to assume that Xzibit caught the acting bug that forces so many emcees into early retirement. But, if his cameo on Bishop Lamont's "Be Cool" [click to listen] didn't convince you, X wants to make it clear that he has no plans on quitting the rap or acting game.



Fresh off of what he described as a modest opening week for The X Files: I Want to Believe, Xzibit reached out to fans via his MySpace blog to talk about his next movie and everything else on his plate for the rest of the year.



"Thanks for everyone who went to support The X Files: I Want to Believe," Xzibit says of his role as FBI agent Mosely Drummy. "It had a modest opening but a good one. It was $20 million worldwide. Hey listen folks it wasn't The Dark Knight but it wasn't Meet Dave either.can you dig it?"



Xzibit is currently in training for a potential movie role as a boxer. Although he was tight-lipped about the title of the film or his possible co-stars, X says the extensive training regimen of crunches, lifting and calisthenics is "kicking my ass." While it may be quite a while before anyone finds out who Xzibit is sharing the screen with next, he was quite happy to talk about the possibility of sharing a track with another fellow actor/rapper.



"I was in the studio with T.I. the other night, my boy Caviee works with him a lot and invited me down," says Xzibit. "Of course I put something down! He had producers there that were VERY dope, Lil C and MARS they got some heat."
