“Recognize where you got the game
We got our own style, got our own slang
Northern California, it’s a west coast thang
This is the history of the Bay”
Well, it’s not so much a history as it is a roll call. But we’re not complaining. From Too $hort to Zumbi to a hundred players in between, Dregs One digs into the monumental task of naming all the Bay Area’s hip hop legends on “History of the Bay”. B.C. The Producer supplies a midtempo hyphy chiller (with a sweet little nod to Shock G’s piano intro to 2Pac’s “I Get Around”) while Dregs One effortlessly steps around Oakland, San Francisco, Vallejo, San Jose, Berkeley, Hayward, Pittsburg, Antioch, Marin, Santa Rosa, and beyond.
