Chuck Inglish Feat. Grey Sweatpants – 2003 (Video)

Zaytoven Talks with DJ Vlad About the Bay Area (Video)
Two former Bay area residents, Zaytoven and DJ Vlad talk about the music scene there and how Zay started producing. I knew that he started producing largely because of JT the Bigga Figga (know rapping in Atlanta as Figg Panamera) but I didn’t know that he also worked with guys like E-40, San Quinn and Messy Marv, all in high school. Very interesting, especially if you think about how Zaytoven’s Hyphy-style beats shaped and changed Southern Rap, specifically Trap, immensely.
