The Compton rapper, Jay Worthy, had exciting news for fans this Friday (June 21) as he announced a new album called Magic Hour. Set to release next month on July 12, it is a collaborative project between the Leave It Up To Me singer and Dām Funk.

Adding to the excitement, the duo also released an official video of the album's latest single titled 105 West on YouTube this Friday. The 200-second track is produced by DāM Funk, in collaboration between Jay and the Canadian DJ, A-Trak.

High on funk and old-school vibes, 105 West also features three major California-based artists - Ty Dolla $ign, Channel Tres, and DJ Quik. The new song begins with DāM Funk crediting the artists and then extends to Jay Worthy rapping about the West Coast. Ty Dolla $ign then takes over the vocals with the lyrics - "Falling down the streets, watch your ladies. Go back watch your...."

From vintage cars to clubs, and house parties to night rides, the music video catches Jay and his fellows at the Magic Hour event at SoHo House in Los Angeles. Offering a classic glimpse of the LA lifestyle are the vocals from DJ Quik - "This is LA lifestyle. The day is cool but the nights are wild". The bold raps from Channel Tres further complete the power-packed single.
