We are putting together a classic photo shoot with all the Bay Area legends and up and comers. In the same tradition of XXL and the classic jazz photo of the same theme.

It isn't clear what we are going to do with it but a calendar, DVD and poster are in the plans for the end of the year.

We will keep everyone posted on the dates of this historic event and when they will be available to the public.

Some of the established Bay and Sacramento invitees will be...(in no particular order). Other non-rappers to be included will be other cats with some sort of significant contribution to the Bay Area rap scene including radio personalities, desginers, label owners etc. We will also have several invited "newer" cats or are making moves. Even the cats who aren't going to be included in the photo will be able to take part in this event.

Some newer cats off the top of my head...Balance, Frontline, Turf Talk, A-Wax, The Team, Mistah Fab, Dutch, Kontac, Fully Loaded, Smigg Dirtee, I-Rocc, Playa Rae, Mista Cane and a gang of others.

Also, dont trip all legit industry cats from the Siccness can come through also! For the fans, I apologize but it would be too many people with just anyone coming but we will make sure you all get access to the end result.

If I forgot anyone, forgive me. Its alot to think of right now.

The homeboy Balance, Mugzi, Jay Tee, Chuck from Done Deal, Murder Dog, Keith Ducey from Killa Valley, Frank and Will from Showcase and myself will be coordinating this historic event.

There will most likely be news media coverage, and food. Proceeds from the sales of these items will be most likely be used to assist in the launch of a Bay Area foundation for rap and for some other projects. Its not all concrete yet but we are going to make this happen. We will also use this day as a national day of remembrance for our fallen Bay Area rap brethren. RIP Cougnut, Mr Cee, Hitman, Seagram, Rappin Ron, Double D, Dion from Black Dynasty, D-Mac, 2Pac, Sick Ass Rell and all the others we lost.

This is my New Years resolution. Unity. Watch what it can do.

Doxx: Alot of those I had added during a re-post. But yeah. Those are all good ones.

I could use your help as well.

All volunteers are welcome.

Coming soon!


I got to do this for the Bay and for my own personal accomplishment. I like you Jeff saw that along time ago and wanted to do it too!

I dont know if we will affiliate this with any one particular publication because we want EVERYONE invloved. Hopefully we can make this happen before Summer.
