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). After leaving Death Row Records without making a single album in 2004 he 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. He is currently working on his debut album/DVD package which will feature music videos for all of the songs. The titles of the package are "Making History" and "Changin' Tha Game." His 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. Eastwood has released two mixtapes with S.M.A. called Self Made Mixtape Volume 2: Tha Gutter and Self Made Mixtape Volume 3: Raggz 2 Richez. Both mixtapes were available for free download on Eastwood's old website which has now been shut down. Both mixtapes had no track lists, and the second album didn't come with an album cover. The mixtapes featured freestyles over several well-known beats such as UTP's "Nolia Clap", Cassidy's "I'm a Hustla", Paul Wall's "Sittin' Sidewayz", David Banner's "Play", J-Kwon's "Tipsy", Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg's "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang", Fat Joe's "Lean Back", and Mobb Deep's "Got It Twisted." He has recently left Jadede Entertainment and now is searching for another label home. Rumors say he will sign to Murder Inc. West
