About this episode
NoH8tin is a visual artist and graphic designer from Berkeley who came up in Bay Area rap’s golden era. His drawings in class at Berkeley High got enough attention that it led him to start putting his work out there just as local rap legends like Too Short, E-40, and Mac Dre were getting popular. NoH8tin landed an illustrator position with Phunky Phat Graph-X, who were responsible for almost all local album art at the time. His resume includes work for Master P including one of the earliest No Limit Records logo. --For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: info@historyofthebay.com--History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 History of the Bay Day 03:35 Getting into art11:24 Early Bay Area hip-hop20:39 Love for mobb music28:24 Mac Dre “All Damn Day”34:44 In-A-Minute Records 36:47 Phunky Phat Graph-X40:40 No Limit Records54:44 Nakia; Rally Ral58:42 Delinquentz; C-Bo; Black Dynasty1:01:18: Sonya C; TRU1:05:16 Money B1:08:06 Luniz
