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. 🎛🔥🎶

]]> The team over at Rolling Loud sure knows how to throw a party! When we arrive i notice there are two stages! They where close enough in proximity for you to dash back and forth in between sets to see your favorite artist who may be performing on the opposite stage. With all the booths and bells and whistles of a true day time festival that lasted two days! They had carts to whip us back and forth from the green room to the stage area that was pretty cool because you would never know who you would see on a cart going the other way! Needless to say the line up was jam packed with some of the most popular artist out right now! Some of the more popular names like Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, School Boy Q, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, XXXtencion, Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi, Young Thug, they had to to add some bay flavor Nef The Pharaoh, P-lo with Iamsu, Kool John, Show Banga, Lil Yee, SOBxRBE, and Larry June yeah the bay was in the building! Don P and AllBAYMUSIC was there backstage to get a inside look at the this epic hip hop concert series. The show was incredible! You don’t wanna miss this next year!

]]> A major forefather of the hyphy movement, Oakland’s Keak Da Sneak’s distinctive rasp is one of the defining sounds of Bay Area hip-hop. Joining forces with Rayven Justice for an airy, windows-down lover’s anthem, Keak shows off his sensitive side on “For You.” Produced by renowned Oakland duo The Mekanix, “For You” is the perfect track for this unseasonably warm Fall, with breezy synths and a soaring Rayven Justice hook, as Keak declares his allegiance to the woman in his life. Premiered by The Boombox, “For You” is the latest single from Withdrawl, Keak’s upcoming album, following the Mozzy-featuring, FADER-premiered “Him Not Them” and “Ima Keep It Goin,” blessed with an animated verse from E-40. Featuring additional appearances from J. Stalin, Kool John, and others, Withdrawl hits stores on November 3rd, via Allnfallndoe​ / Zoo Entertainment / EMPIRE.

]]> Defining the sound of the West Coast with his snapping snares, memorable basslines, and beautifully minimalist keys, HBK Gang’s P-Lo is equally talented behind the mic as behind the boards. Returning to the forefront with a diverse set of bangers, P-Lo is announcing his More Than Anything project, due this Spring. With an expanded sonic palette and a long list of talented collaborators, More Than Anything is P-Lo’s most accomplished effort yet, with the renewed focus on lyrical introspection perfectly complementing the high-energy beats. Featuring appearances from E-40, G-Eazy, Marc E Bassy, Skizzy Mars, Iamsu!, Rexx Life Raj, Feez, Kool John, and production from Cal-A, Nic Nac, Feez, Jay Ant, Mikos Da Gawd, ReeceBeats, and P-Lo himself, More Than Anything follows 2016’s Before Anything.

“More Than Anything is showing all the layers I have as a human and artist. I’m a hyphy ball of energy but some people think I’m all slaps – I’m going to show them that I can do more than that,” P-Lo tells The FADER. “This music is made from my experiences, coming from real places. With this project I’m out to show people a reflection of myself, that I’m never sorry, that I’m vulnerable. More than anything, this project is about me stepping out to show the world who I am.”

With the project announcement, P-Lo is sharing “Always,” the breezy, yet emotionally hefty first single featuring a verse from Rexx Life Raj and production by Cal-A. The song finds P-Lo lamenting a loss, chronicling a tumultuous relationship while Raj lends his trademark smooth gravitas to the track’s final verse. “Always” proves that the hyphy HBK artist can do much more than get lit.

Born and raised in Pinole, CA, Filipino-American Paulo Rodriguez started making music at a young age. Inspired by his older brother Kuya Beats, a producer in his own right, P-Lo developed a great appreciation for the music in his father’s record collection, including Santana and the Beatles. When he heard Kanye West’s The College Dropout in 2004, P-Lo knew that he wanted to make a living making rap music. In 2005, P-Lo met a high school classmate who shared his passion for hip-hop: Iamsu!. Together, the two rapper/producers formed the Heartbreak Gang, shortened to HBK, recruiting artists like Kool John, Sage The Gemini, Jay Ant, Kehlani, and others to become one of the premiere rap collectives on the West Coast. With Jay Ant and Iamsu!, P-Lo built a name for himself as a member of The Invasion, producing many of HBK’s biggest hits, including Iamsu’s “Only That Real,” ft. 2 Chainz, and became an in-demand producer nationwide. In 2013, P-Lo had a big hit with Yo Gotti’s “Act Right,” which peaked at #100 on the Hot 100. P-Lo has also found success as a rapper, earning millions of plays on his own SoundCloud and stepping out from behind the boards on several HBK hits. Stay tuned for P-Lo’s More Than Anything, slated to release in the coming months.
