There’s hella good hip hop out right now. But there’s only one new album out right now that’s deeply, intensely, proudly, unapologetically Frisco, and that’s Sucka Repellent by Dregs One. Released on their own label Audio Vandals and featuring guest appearances by Husalah, DJ.Fresh, Cellski, DinaRo, Spice 1, and Frisco Baby, the new album from the fog mode maestro ruminates on living as a rap cat in the SF city life, from walking through the Tenderloin and getting geeked up to what it means to live as a true player and win in the rap game. As usual, it sounds like classic Bay underground hip hop, bumped and boosted for a new era. And there’s no mistaking that: Rooted in the classics that came before, a new era of SF hip hop has arrived.
Join Dregs One for the album release party at Public Works on Friday, October 7 with support from City P, Grand-O, TroyLLF, JourneyBthaReason, Frisco Baby plus DJ sets by Abby Imperial and Baghead.
