Iamsu! feat. Kool John – Focus (Koast Remix)

D Tomo — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 06:13:54 +0000

IAMSU locks in and doesn’t let up on “FOCUS,” linking with Kool John for a track that already carried serious knock. Then the Koast remix takes it up another level. It reshapes the record with added depth and a stronger rhythmic drive, expanding its impact beyond the original release!

Bay rap at its core: bass-driven, unapologetic, and built to slap in real life, not just in headphones.

My only qualm? It’s too short. But honestly, that just makes it easier to run it back again and again.

Iamsu! – California

Ian Jackson — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 09:01:43 +0000

Iamsu! is no doubt one of the more successful and respected hip hop artists from the Bay Area. Always repping his hometown of Richmond, CA, Iamsu has continued to impress his fans with the content he releases. His latest EP, “California” consists of 4 tracks that are nothing short of a dope vibe. Normally, short EP’s have me wanting more, but the way this project was constructed just goes to show that it isn’t about the number of tracks, but the quality of the music.

Iamsu kicks it off with “Stay Humble,” where he instantly goes in on spitting some free game on top of telling his story that made him who he is now. The relevancy of his lyrics and his energy throughout this track will easily have you vibing with it. One of my favorite things about this song is the constant switch ups on the flow and the fact that there really isn’t a clear hook. Iamsu just spits straight game over a dope beat that starts out simple, but has a number of elements added that continuously heightens the emotion of the track with each new addition to the beat.

“PCH” is next, and if you’re from California especially, you know that this is an acronym for “Pacific Coast Highway,” the major highway that hugs the West Coast. This track is more of a chill, driving type song. LA artist, Tyler Langley is featured on this one and her soulful and old school type style ties the whole track together perfectly.

Iamsu gets Lil Jon on the next track, “Yay Area.” This feature makes this song the party song it is! Lil Jon’s non-stop, high energy paired with Iamsu’s smooth vocals and dope rhymes makes this a top single that you have to put on repeat. I dare you not to start dancing when this song is played.

To end the EP, Iamsu reps his city with “510.” This song is one of those that Bay Area residents can easily vibe to as he name drops various locations including street names and food spots. Not everyone who hears this song is going to be able to relate completely, but if you love your city as much as Iamsu does in this song, you’ll understand the reasoning behind this song being on the EP.

Overall, Iamsu has created a dope EP with a song for everyone. Whether you want to hear great lyrics and free game, ride down the highway, or party it up in the club, “California” has something for everyone! Check it out now and run it up for one of the dopest artists from the Bay Area.

King K From The Bay

Ian Jackson — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 18:59:23 +0000

ABM What is your stage name? What inspired your stage name?

King K: Full stage name is King K From The Bay but I tend to keep it short and go with just King K. King K derived from me doing music. I’ve worked with many types of people in music and I often heard people say “Damn King you be killin em” in reference to making music. King being my last name and the K stands for kill em.

ABM: What is your story in terms of music, when did you start making music?  

King K: I have been around music since an early age like most artists out there. I can remember as far back as me being a little kid with my curly afro riding shotgun in my brothers Honda listening to cassette tapes featuring artists like 2 Pac, Biggie, Nas, Outkast, Jay-Z, Kriss Kross, KRS-One, and the list goes on. Music caught my ear at an early age and I was hooked ever since. When I got older, I started to learn about the music game more. In High school I had friends who were into recording and was putting out music. I would see the reaction of people when they heard their tracks and I became intrigued. I didn’t get into music at the time because I was into sports and went on to play baseball professionally for a couple of years after high school. After my career ended in sports I started hanging around the music scene. I started off by going to studios with other artists and started giving my input on their records. From There I started to dabble in producing and then recorded a couple of tracks. After a few years of helping my friends who were artists they told me that I need to really get into making my own music and push it. So here I am today pursuing my passion of making quality music for the people.

ABM: How did your upbringing in the Bay Area influence your career?

King K: Going to high school and living in the Bay Area had a lot to do with the influence of my music career. As you know the Bay Area is so cultured. The creativity and artwork out here is second to none. Growing up in a low to middle class family gave me the foundation to go after my music career. As I stated before I had a heavy sports background and I believe that gave me the foundation needed to not only succeed in sports but whatever I put my mind to. I’ve learned that if you really want to make something happen, you’re going to have to go out there and grind. Life is a fucking grind for real and anything worth having takes time to manifest. In my upbringing I’ve learned to be patient, focused, hard working, resilient and humble.

ABM: Do you have any music visuals in the works?

King K: At the moment I am working on the concepts for potential music videos for my 3 singles: “Be Something”, “Dodgin” and “Play My Shit”. Once the concepts are finalized we will be moving forward with production.

ABM: How do you feel about the protests, and the black lives matter movement? 

King K: I don’t really like to get into the politics of what is going on in the world too much. What I will say is that everyone has the right to protest. It is their first amendment right. As long as it is peaceful, I’m all for it but if protests become violent then that is crossing the line for me. We need positivity and support to bring us all together not violence.

ABM: Do you have any other projects in the works?

King K: I always have something in the works. No planned mixtapes or albums at the moment but I am always working on singles. I am currently working with artists all through California to bring good music to the people.

ABM: What inspired you to pursue being an artist professionally?

KingK: The impact your music can have on single person or a group of people. I have heard multiple times that my songs have helped a person get through their day. It’s really a good feeling to hear that. Being an artist professionally will allow me to reach a larger audience on that level. The obvious perks that can come with doing music professionally inspire also: financial freedom, fame, etcetera but that is honestly not the sole reason I do it. I fucking love and appreciate seeing people vibe to my music! Watching someone sing along to your track is a euphoric feeling!

ABM: Do you have any other lanes in music that interest you?

KingK: Some other lanes I am going to get into is producing and the engineering side of the music game. I am also looking into starting a clothing line as well as a future music label for independent artists.

ABM: Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now? 

KingK:
In 5 years I plan on having some major features on the resume. Hopefully this pandemic goes away so I can get into clubs and major venues. It would dope as fuck to go on tour and open up for some major artists. With all that being said, at the end of the day I hope I still have the same loyal fans and many more who vibe to my music.

ABM: Who are some of the musical influences that have inspired you?

KingK: From the Bay: E-40, Mac Dre, G-Eazy, Too Short, Keak da Sneak, Clyde Carson, Mistah F.A.B., IamSu!, Locksmith. Outside the Bay: Drake, Big Sean, J. Cole, Post Malone, Meek Mill, Logic, Tory Lanez

ABM: Is there any artists you would like to work with in the future? 

KingK: Of course. I would like to work with any dope artist out there. Anyone In addition to those artists above, I would like to work with some female artists such as Saweetie, Kehlani, Jhene Aiko.

ABM: Is there any last words or shout outs?

KingK: I would like to shout out everyone who supports my music out there. Family, friends, DJ’s, promoters, producers and artists. No names needed, you know who you are. The future is bright and I could not do it without you. Thank you to All Bay Music for this interview. You have shown nothing but love for me and I will not forget that.

A.N.T

Ian Jackson — Wed, 28 Aug 2019 16:32:38 +0000

ABM: What is your stage name?

Ant: A.N.T

ABM: Where are you from, and what was it like growing up there?

Ant: I’m from Exeter, CA which is a small city close to Fresno, CA. Growing up in Exeter everyone knew each other because it is such a small town, it consists of people who care for their community and my biggest fans and supporters come from my hometown, as well as my biggest haters. As I got older I was always the type to associate with a lot of people, but always kept my inner circle of people small. Exeter has taught me many things in life, including how to overcome adversity and how to focus on your craft to perfection. I will always appreciate the city of Exeter and the endless amount of love that was shown from the community and the youth.

ABM: What are your last full length releases people can go check out right now?

Ant: I dropped my first Album “A.N.T1 Everybody” which is on all platforms, but since then I’ve been taking a different route in my music and dropped 2 of the hottest songs coming out of the Central Valley. Those songs are “YeYeah” and “Catch My Vibe (ft. 812 Papi)” These songs are on all platforms as well and are top quality productions.

ABM: What are you currently working on?

Ant: As far as music I’m consistently working on singles to stack up in my vault to have ready for the future when I feel I need to drop more music. Now, I’m really trying to focus on branding myself and work on my image as an upcoming artist. This consists of promoting my new music, growing my social media, and building a fan base that shows nothing but love and support.

ABM: What’s your last visual release people can check out, tell us about it.

Ant: I don’t have any visuals that are released just yet, but the visual for YeYeah will be released soon!

ABM: Is there any artists you would like to work with in the future?

Ant: Growing up I’ve always been the biggest Chris Brown fan, so a feature with him would be a dream come true, but other artists I’d be interested in working with would be Iamsu, G-Eazy, YBN Nahmir, Trippie Redd, Lil Tjay, and Roddy Ricch.

ABM: Any business ventures you wanna tell the public about?

Ant: Currently working on rebranding my clothing brand, but I have my own team that consists of local talent from Artists, Producers, Engineers, Graphic Designers, Photographers, Videographers, and DJ’s.

ABM: Where can people find you online?

Ant: Instagram @ant__559, Twitter @Torres__anthony, Snapchat @a.52torres, and Youtube @ A.N.T Official

ABM: Any last words?

Ant: I want to thank All Bay Music Magazine for giving me this opportunity to shine. I also want to thank everyone who has been supporting me throughout my journey, and my closest friends and family for motivating me to be great everyday. For everyone who’s reading this just know that A.N.T will be a name you remember for a long time. This is just the beginning.
