Episode 1: Mobb Music Remember the Time: The Hyphy Movement

    • Storia della musica

Episode 1 of Remember the Time examines the independent nature of Bay Area hip-hop and how it eventually reached the mainstream despite having a different sound, delivery and cadence from mainstream rap of the time.  A big part of that sound, aptly called Mobb Music, was popularized by artists like E-40 and Mac Mall. The slow plodding bass heavy sound was instrumental in Bay Area hip-hop. It took a kid from Fairfield by way of Montgomery AL by the name of Rick Rock to bring his dance hi-BPM style to Bay music to transition from Mobb to Hyphy.  Hear from Keak da Sneak, Jake One, Mike Mosley, Ray Luv, CMG of the Conscious Daughters and more.

Hosted, written and produced by Branden LSK. Additional production by Melissa Saenz Gordon. Engineering by Full English Post. Executive Producers include Peter Flax and Branden Peters.

Remember the Time: The Hyphy Movement is a production of the Red Bulletin magazine.
