Eastwood is a West Coast rapper that was born in East L.A. and raised in Inglewood, California (his name is a combination of the two places). Eastwood originally made a name for himself by signing to Death Row Records as part of the label's "second coming". Death Row's most notable release featuring Eastwood was the music soundtrack to Eddie Griffin's comedy "Dysfunktional Family". In 2004 Eastwood left Death Row Records without releasing an album. He then joined The Game's Black Wall Street label. Eastwood has appeared in multiple tracks dissing 50 Cent and hip hop group G-Unit with The Game. Eastwood left The Black Wall Street Records in 2006 and signed to Jaded Entertainment. During his time on Jaded he finished an album/DVD package that featured music videos for every song. The titles of the package were "Making History" and "Changin' Tha Game." However, Eastwood's business relationship with Jaded went sour and Eastwood once again became a free agent. Recently he has signed a major deal with Koch Records and will be releasing his debut record "The New Era" soon. Eastwood's clique/rap group is S.M.A. (aka Self Made Anterazh). All the artists that are part of S.M.A., such as Young Cutty and Live Wire grew up with Eastwood and are close friends. As of recently Eastwood has been tearing up the mixtape game with West Coast producer Meech Wells as an active member of "The New West World Order" series. Eastwood's most notable track from this series is called "West Really" and features rappers The Game and Jay Rock.
