TOP 25 BAY AREA SINGLES

BY @EUROPEANIAN & @DONPOFFICIAL

Big Von

Windows

The most anticipated music video
this last year beyond a reasonable
doubt is Big Von's “Windows” single
ft Keak Da Sneak, and The Jacka
(MP) The video spared no expense
in being dope, and with Mikey
Shiloh’s assisted hook, made it to be
avery infectious club and smoke
single. The instrumental was created
by famed San Jose producer Trax-
amillion. The lyrics have some very
catchy phrases from our fallen legend
“The Jacka”, notes like “Car full of
smoke I dont know no better”, and
the next part is almost screamed
back at you from the fans. Appar
ently people in the Bay Arca like
Polo. The video is shot well, but the
video brings very real sentiments,
from fans who feel very empty know-
ing their favorite artist will not be
making an appearence. Experienc-
ing Jacka gone in moments where
his music lives on makes coming
from our backyard not so easy to
embrace. Despite our loss of words
for our homie The Jacka, we do have
to praise that despite him not being
here with us, his music continues to.

live on through his fans,

Gangsta

Kehlani represents hard for the Tau-
nami Mob with with her song
"Gangsta”, which was written by
Kehlani, Myron Birdsong, Skylar
Grey Andrew Swanson & J Mike,
who also produced the blazing hot
track, With the video now at over
125 Million views, I dont sce the Bay
‘Area native slowing that wave down
anytime soon! The song was also a
feature song in the movie “Suicide
Squad”, among other noteworthi-
ness accolades to be said of the
record. Go Kehlani, way to make
Oakland proudlAll the tracks in the
movic have a deep and dark ambi-

ance, which is perfect to the theme
of the movie. Its safe to say that Ke-
hlani does an amazing job in bring-
ing the dark “Gangsta” vibe that rep-
sents Harley Quinn’s villain role.
So naturally the song speaks about
the inner mind state of Harley
Quinn, which is quite “Gangsta”.
We are looking forward to seeing
what the Oakland songstress has up
next for us this year, but we are an-
ticipating greatness withher every
play, as we are convinced our new
Oakland Queen has been benefit
ting in yoga class. $/O Rick Rubin!

Nef The Pharaoh

Say Dat

Nef The Pharaoh keeps coming
with hard hits for our local region,
and this one is another impactful
record for both artists, in our opin-
ion. The beat isa huge slapper, and
both artists bring a lot of swagin the
verses. The single was produced by
Cardo, and itis a sure win in terms
of being a Califormia anthem you
can stand on, We are looking for-
ward to more collabs from the two

y album "When It's
Dark Out" is packed with hits, butin
the song “Order More” they let it be
known when they arive their’s
gonna be some “racks on deck”.
‘The video is top notch, and G Eazy
continues his acting to stardom. We
are proud to bring you a special
sneak peak into his new movie
coming titled “Tunnel Vision”,
which is based on a true story,
