this argument always seems to come up so let me break it down for ya. rick is a bay area producer and or artist. yes, he was born down south, but i met him at the age of 10 or so in fairfield and he has lived in the yay for most of his life. yes, his crib is now in sac, but he came up in the bay area, (fairfield/suisun to be exact) and he soaked the game in the bay. he has always repped the bay, even when it was cool to be known for coming from the south, he never turned his back on the 707. rick rock is one of the best area producers of all time
