This track came out when I was in my senior year of high school on Quinn’s I Give You My Word album…and it must have been on every mix CD that I listened to that year. Quinn breaks down the Northern California rap scene’s history in excruciating detail, from the 80’s to present day. All the hits, all the big albums, all the rappers arrested, all the shootouts, all the drama, Quinn tells it all.
So for all you young cats, who are wondering “what’s a San Quinn?” click the play button and get up on game on a true Bay legend. You just might learn a thing or 2 about the Bay’s history while you’re at it.
You can see our interview with San Quinn tomorrow on Under The Bay, and you can see him LIVE for the first ever Under The Bay concert November 12th at Shattuck Down Low in Berkeley. He’ll be there with The FNM (Nio Tha Gift, Erk Tha Jerk, Willie Joe, and Traxamillion), DaVinci, Roach Gigz, Young Gully, and ST Spittin. It will be hosted by DJ Amen of 106.1 KMEL. Discounted presale tickets will be available right here on Thizzler.com so stay tuned!
