About this episode
For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: info@historyofthebay.com--Turf Talk (@new_turf_talk_page) emerged during the Hyphy Movement as one of the most unique voices to come out of the Bay Area. Moving back and forth between Vallejo and SoCal, once he started rapping his dream was to sign with his cousin E-40. That became a reality when his debut album "The Street Novelist" dropped on Sick Wid It Records. He quickly became one of the most popular voices on the West Coast and collaborated with some of the biggest legends of the Bay Area. But just as his career was taking off, a personal tragedy led him to take a long hiatus from rap which he explains here for the first time. Now, Turf Talk is back into music and ready to pick up where he left off.--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 The Bay to SoCal04:13 Vallejo family ties 08:58 The streets / the music14:50 Jamie Foxx 18:02 Developing style22:28 Signing to Sick Wid It28:30 Drug case32:35 “The Street Novelist”36:51 “Hubba Rock” w/ Mac Dre43:35 Hyphy Movement, “West Coast Vaccine”48:13 “My Ghetto Report Card”51:16 Collaborations55:55 Hiatus from rap1:05:07 Upcoming music
