You should know who.... The list starts with Nio, followed by Locksmith and quite a few others ...
Los Rakas are in a catagory all they own. Them boys is spitting that spanish rap w/ an americano twist. I don't even speak spanish and was in the shower the other day humming "Kalle"....lol. That's how I know they got it. Them boys could could blow up in South America and we wouldn't even know it or need to know. I could here them playing over the speakers at Adelita's in mex too....lol

I agree, Los Rakas are the biggest thing out the Bay in a LONG ass time.

I also agree with DFresh77 though, there's a lot of new Bay artists who are killing it right now. The full list would look something like (not including Los Rakas and Nio Tha Gift):

DaVinci
Cousin Fik
Jealous Guys
Stevie Joe
ST Spittin
GQ
Young Gully
Locksmith
IAMSU!
Young Lox
Joe Blow
Erk
Hongry
Moe Green
Bo Strangles
Main Attrakionz
Danked Out
AG Cubano
Balance
Daveed Diggs
Blast Holiday
A.B. (Fi-Fi)
Show Banga
Young Bari
Shady Nate
Dassius Clay aka J-Dash
League510
B-Jada
Tuf Luv
C-Dot (of Killa Squad)

There's a ton of talent in the Bay and the diversity of styles is amazing. Part of the problem though is that there's just as large of a list of equally talented Bay rappers who've been taken from us by the streets or by the police.

Pretty Black
Killa Keise
Johnny Ca$h
Sky Balla
PSD Tha Drivah
Chris Da 5th
Taj-He-Spitz
Woodie

That's some of our best talent up there that's either dead or in jail. THAT'S the part that's bullshit, not the Bay Area rap scene.

There are some on your list I agree with, alot I don't agree with, and alot of artists I have never heard of, but that is your opinion and I ain't mad at you for it.

I don't have time to do anything music related but you can be of value to someone if you do fam. I am just saying, the siccness is a valuable resource I think many overlook. Intelligent fans cans easily be part of the equation. A label can build a network across the country on this site alone because there are alot of sharp people here, I don't care if you know anything about the music business. Alot of this shit is common sense. I don't know, I always try to think outside the box.

Nio is definitely dope. There's a few cats out here who I really fuck with when it comes to their music. Besides my own sacred fam, I gotta say young gully is one of the younger cats who I wanna see shine. He brings real lyricism to the table. Not no gimmicks. Alot of people rap, a few people really gas

Good shit sacred. I can't lie, a few years ago I listened to a Krypto track and wasn't really feeling it. but it was before he was with yall I think. Since yall came together I can tell his music keeps getting better and better. You guys put together quality visuals and quality production with talented artists. I expect to one day hear yall and see yall doing it big at some point. Don't let these j-cats hold you back. The man makes the music, the music don't make the man. Don't be afraid to try and make some radio friendly music, ask Baby Bash how that worked out for him? Not saying you guys have to sing to the broads, but I know you are sharp and hear me. Good luck to all of you.

You got a good ear! I always thought he could make way better music than he was. Me and Krypto have learned alot working together and growing. Krypto and everybody else down with the label actually listens to me which is hard to find. We dont deal with ego's and if something is not dope we do it until it is. We got some radio tracks for you.

Nio is fucking awesome, since the day that album dropped its been in steady rotation.
I also was wondering after that dropped why it wasnt more popular? Well worth the money imo, there was not a bad song on the whole thing.

Moeses Soulright The 2nd, Nio The Gift, Locksmith, Peplove and SB I find all to be crazy underrated.
just happy to be mentioned along with those names
