Gritty beats, hyphy-as-hell flows and funk bass-lines: The sounds of West Coast rap are unmistakable. From Sactown to the City of Angels, we’re taking a cruise down the Cali coast to revisit some of our favorite conversations with the artists who keep the West Coast banging. You’ll hear Sacramento street rapper Mozzy repping the oft-misunderstood capital city; Bay Area’s new rap royalty Nef the Pharaoh about grindin’ with SF’s original captain, E-40; and G Perico and Jay Worthy of LA’s gangster funk trio G-Worthy on how they put their warring backgrounds behind them. We’ll also hear from Kool Keith, Dan the Automator and DJ Qbert on rap futurism. And finall, Marq Hawkins aka DJ Cli-N-Tel, a member of legendary LA DJ and promotion crew Uncle Jamm's Army, talking about the roots of the West Coast G-Funk sound, Dr. Dre, Arabian Prince and other wild times of 1980s Los Angeles.
