The Bay Area is a well known culinary destination, so it should come as no surprise that our rappers eat well. Most famously E-40, the “Goon with the Spoon,” has a line of tasty treats from burritos to ice cream to malt liquor, wine, and tequila. This past February saw Professa Gabel and Brycon’s latest album Corner Booth, an ode to stoic extravagance through eating well, name-dropping duck confit and setting their tracks in diners and mom and pops. And now self-proclaimed “The People’s Palette” Grand-O dropped Grand Prix, an album chock full of A-1 food references. From “Quiznos” to “Pozole” to the Gabel-assisted “Nabisco”, this is a 13-course meal of Michelin-starred rap.
Make sure you check out Grand-O’s side project The Snack Sensei to keep up with what’s smack or wack in Bay Area snacks.
