Order James Beasley's book "DEEP ROOTED" here: https://jamesbeasleyent.com
James Beasley, Jr. describes himself as a third generation criminal, whose notorious family roots in Bayview-Hunters Point go back to the early days of Black migration to San Francisco. His father, great uncles and cousins built their reputation through labor racketeering, heroin dealing, and pimping, but James took advantage of the cocaine boom in the 70s and 80s. He soon became the drug kingpin of San Francisco, associating with Darryl "Lil D" Reed in Oakland and players like Big Dave and Harry-O in Los Angeles. After making millions of dollars, his run came to an end when he became the youngest person charged with tax evasion in United States history and ended up doing 27 years in federal prison. Now that he has been released and transitioned into legitimate business, James is here to tell his story as a cautionary tale to guide other black and brown youth away from the life of crime.--For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: [email protected] 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 Introduction03:06 Crime families in San Francisco06:22 Bayview-Hunters Point in the 60s-70s11:02 Getting in trouble in high school16:04 Following his dad into the dope game24:59 C*caine hits the hood28:26 Competing with the A Team 31:56 Gangster mentality in the family37:18 Starting the B Team42:02 Lil D46:33 Crips & Bloods in the Bay?50:39 Cars as a status symbol54:44 Colombian connection59:39 Felix Mitchell1:00:43 Shrimp Boy & Chinatown connection1:04:55 Ron Newt & Michael Jackson1:07:55 Investing in legal businesses1:11:08 Tax evasion case1:16:07 Federal prison1:20:37 Turf violence in Hunters Point1:25:09 Advice to the youth 1:33:22 Harry-O and Death Row1:41:23 Freeway Rick Ross

The Trunk Boiz is a collective of rappers, producers, singers, and dancers from Oakland who are best known for their regional hit "Cupcake No Fillin." Co-founded by cousins F.A. Tha Jefe and B*Janky, the group got their start recording songs on a home studio, burning CDs, and distributing tens of thousands of mixtapes throughout the Bay Area. They captured the electrifying energy of the Bay during the hyphy movement with songs like "Scraper Bike" that highlighted Oakland's unique culture. Taking advantage of YouTube in its early stages, their music videos were some of the first to go viral. Almost 20 years later, with Kendrick Lamar paying direct homage to them in his "squabble up" video, Trunk Boiz are planning on keeping their legacy going and continuing to make noise in the Bay Area. --For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: [email protected] 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 Intro04:07 First studios 07:05 Oakland influences 11:07 Forming the group, first mixtapes 20:09 Other members22:58 The Hyphy Movement27:49 Sideshows 31:53 Turning down record deals36:40 Scraper Bikes 49:01 Kendrick Lamar53:03 Cupcake No Fillin1:02:31 E-40 & Too Short “B*tch” Remix1:13:17 Industry setbacks1:22:43 Thoughts on current Bay music

History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 85: Mistah F.A.B. has been at the center of the Bay Area hip-hop scene since he splashed on the scene as the Crown Prince of Hyphy in the early 2000s. Growing up in North Oakland, FAB's parents were in the street life but pushed him towards a different route. This led him to developing his talent as a rapper, putting out his first album "Nig-Latin" through Straight Hits Entertainment with Jazzy Jim and Gary Archer.

These three legends discussed their legacy and continued relevance with Dregs One in this special podcast recorded at Brick and Mortar Music Hall in San Francisco on July 27, 2024.--Sponsored by Skypack Farms: https://skypackfarms.comAlso sponsored by Mojo Labs: https://mojo-labs.com--For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: [email protected] by DEO @deo415, videography by @mvp_kingced ---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 Brick & Mortar Music Hall05:13 Top 5 San Francisco rap albums 08:04 Still being relevant after 30 years11:08 Who was the very first rapper from Hunters Point? 13:08 Female rappers in SF in the 90s?15:28 What is the sound of SF rap?21:12 Crazy studio sessions24:42 When Black C met Herm 29:43 TC on RBL’s talent31:12 Is there still a hip-hop scene in SF?36:04 Herm throwing shows for his first album38:09 Thoughts on Bay Area rap today42:13 TC’s production influences43:24 Relevance48:37 Advice for up-and-coming artists52:48 Other genres, artists outside of the Bay56:22 Upcoming projects

Anh Phoong is a personal injury attorney who has become an icon in the Bay Area and beyond with her massive billboard campaigns and slogan, “Something wrong? Call Anh Phoong.” The child of Chinese-Vietnamese immigrants, Anh had humble beginnings growing up in San Jose and Sacramento. Starting at community college, she made her way towards law school after being inspired to pursue criminal justice. Anh graduated as valedictorian of Lincoln Law School and passed the California bar. After being turned down for a public defender job, she decided to start her own law firm specializing in personal injury. Far from an “ambulance chaser,” Anh has built a successful practice based on her skills as an attorney. When she shrewdly pursued an aggressive billboard campaign during the pandemic, she skyrocketed to success and has now become a ubiquitous personality all across California.--Sponsored by Stem Social https://stemsocial.iohttps://instagram.com/stem.socialAlso sponsored by Lost Soul Courier Collective - call or text (415) 275-1922 for free Narcan delivery in San Franciscohttps://lostsoulcouriercollective.orgFor more info contact @traceyh415 --For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: [email protected] by DEO @deo415, videography by @mvp_kingced ---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 Introduction01:41 Parents immigrating from Asia 04:45 Criminal justice07:48 Dregs’ law background10:49 Public defender’s office14:32 Applying to law school20:36 Representation for Asian American women in law23:56 Passing the bar exam27:25 Starting her own law firm39:19 Personal injury cases44:50 Billboards 51:32 Expanding the business56:49 Billboard costs1:02:37 Becoming an icon1:06:09 Competition1:09:29 Putting yourself out there

Yung LB, Joeski and Rozay are three of the founders of Runtz, one of the most popular cannabis brands in history. Their story starts before legalization, when powerful strains like purple, kush, and champagne were still exotic and hard to find. They met through their mutual passions for music and cannabis culture and started touring as the Cookie Boyz, mentored by artists like Berner and The Jacka. Once they met the growers who created the strain that would become Runtz, they innovated new ways to promote, market, and brand a strain that had never been done before. Years later, Runtz is still a premier cannabis strain and has opened up multiple opportunities for entrepreneurship.--Sponsored by Stem Social https://stemsocial.iohttps://instagram.com/stem.socialAlso sponsored by Lost Soul Courier Collective - call or text (415) 275-1922 for free Narcan delivery in San Franciscohttps://lostsoulcouriercollective.orgFor more info contact @traceyh415 --For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: [email protected] by DEO @deo415, videography by @mvp_kingced --Hat by So Fresh Clothing: https://sofreshclothing.comHoodie by Rebel 8: https://rebel8.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 Introduction04:00 Early strains in the Bay13:11 Becoming entrepreneurs 28:14 Learning from Berner 33:07 GMO strains35:41 Legalization42:57 Creating the Runtz brand54:25 Early success 01:01:07 Cookies lawsuit01:07:16 How to build a successful brand01:11:12 Current projects

History of the Bay LIVE PODCAST with Black C (RBL Posse), Herm Lewis & T.C. on July 27th in San Francisco - grab tix here: https://www.ticketweb.com/event/history-of-the-bay-podcast-brick-and-mortar-music-hall-tickets/13735123--Writing his first raps in 1982, Calvin T is a pioneer of Bay Area rap that is often left out of the history books. Coming out of Richmond, he met his rhyme partner Mack Magic Mike in juvenile hall and started recording his first tapes once he was released. As contemporaries of Too $hort and Freddy B, Calvin T and Magic Mike were early influences to the artists that followed like E-40, Mac Dre and Mac Mall. 40 even signed Calvin to Sick Wid It Records, but his album was never released. Calvin was introduced to the pimp game at age 13, and his rap career was derailed by multiple prison stints. On episode 17, we had Magic Mike tell their story and now we have Calvin T sharing his perspective in his most in-depth interview ever.--Sponsored by Stem Social https://stemsocial.iohttps://instagram.com/stem.socialAlso sponsored by Lost Soul Courier Collective - call or text (415) 275-1922 for free Narcan delivery in San Franciscohttps://lostsoulcouriercollective.orgFor more info contact @traceyh415 --For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: [email protected] by DEO @deo415, videography by @mvp_kingced ---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/dregsone415

At the same time, this is also what introduced him to the fashion, style, and music of hip-hop culture. When Fillmore went to the federal penitentiary, that led to Frank being in the system and eventually moving from the Bay Area to the East Coast. When he returned to the Bay, Frank started his own rap career alongside the likes of Keak Da Sneak and the Jacka, co-starring on the popular "Dope Game" series on Rah Records. After his own federal case derailed his momentum, Frank bounced back and ended up working with the likes of Bobby Brown and becoming a new member of Tony! Toni!

Growing up in Jim Crow-era Louisiana, Slim moved to California for a better life. Although he went to the prestigious Lowell High School and played in blues bands, he was attracted to the nightlife of Fillmore Street and entered into the pimp game. As a musician and a player, Slim came across the likes of Etta James, Ike and Tina, SF Mayors Willie Brown and London Breed, and rappers like Snoop Dogg and Suga Free. His experience in the entertainment industry includes being friends with Rudy Ray Moore aka Dolemite and turning down the lead in "The Mack."--Sponsored by Stem Social https://stemsocial.iohttps://instagram.com/stem.socialAlso sponsored by Lost Soul Courier Collective - call or text (415) 275-1922 for free Narcan delivery in San Franciscohttps://lostsoulcouriercollective.orgFor more info contact @traceyh415 --For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: [email protected] 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/dregsone415
