Just like a lot of other areas on the map, they were buying and listening to a lot of Bay Area rap. Someone that doesn’t get the recognition he deserves regarding this Bay/KC connection is Deco-D, he moved for Frisco to KC when he was 15 yrs old and immediately signed to Jackpot Records, he released his solo album The Soul Taker and started networking with KC artists like Rich the factor, Swell-L, DOVE DAWG, Tech N9ne, Ghetto Kaos and others. Snug Brim said that they looked up to Deco because he was in high school with an album out and he was only 15yrs old, I met Tech N9ne at a show like in 2005 and gave him a flyer for Deco’s Prime Example album and he pointed at the cover and he said “I know this nigga!” And his bodyguard was like “yeah that’s Deco”
