Ya Boy naturally jumps on Drake’s bounce record “The Motto” to give it his own Bay Area sound alongside Stevie Johnson.

There have been a number of videos circulating around from this music video shoot, but here are some pictures from the set directly from Drake’s camp. More pics below:

You already know that E-40 and Mistah F.A.B. are mad hyped to even be involved in this shoot. Regardless, shooting a video for “The Motto” in the Bay is a good look for the bouncy single. Well played, Aubrey.

The Hundreds is pleased to announce the release of the Mac Dre capsule collection, sold at The Hundreds San Francisco store beginning this Thursday at 2pm.  The collection includes two tees and is set to commemorate the anniversary of the rapper’s death.  Andre Hicks, aka Mac Dre, was and is a Bay Area staple, one of the leaders of the “hyphy” movement, and an important fixture in the history of Northern California Hip-Hop.

The Portrait tee features a caricature drawing of Mac Dre with an Adam Bomb on his shirt, making a Thizz “T” with his hands.  The Genie Cover tee features album artwork from his 2004 album, “Genie of The Lamp,” with The Hundreds twist.

It features the real MC Hammer along with Will.i.am, Giants closer Brian Wilson, ex-mayor Willie Brown, and various other cameos. I don’t even know what else to say.

The Bay Area Bully drops a thoughtful track where he answers why he does “it.” Not digging Young B as much, but pretty good track overall. Look out for a new mixtape from Ya Boy dropping soon.

DaVinci’s new EP, Feast Or Famine, has been out for a little over a month now, and the visuals continue to roll in, including this latest video for “Beer, Bitches & Bullshit,” a track that features fellow San Francisco rapper Roach Gigz, as well as Sacramento’s own C-Plus.

Here’s a song from up and coming artist Pmac, who hails from South San Francisco. “One”, which is produced by Rollie Beats, contains a nice  sample of Three Dog Night’s cover of Harry Nilsson’s “One”.

Clinton Sparks heads to the Bay Area for his latest offering, “Supa Dupa Star.” Apparently, this wasn’t supposed to drop quite yet, but the internets have already run wild with it. Give it a listen below:

The Bay’s Roach Gigz teams up with Lil B and Husalah to bring us a new track off of his free album, Bitch I’m a Player. Roach Gigz’ Bitch, I’m A Player will be released for free download on July 20. Fans can also look forward to the “F A Chorus,” video, shot and directed by Kreayshawn, coming soon. Give it a listen:

Here’s a quick mixtape compilation with Kreayshawn collabs from all the classic bay artist and beats. Featuring beats and verses from E-40, C-Bo, Luniz, Mac Dre, Dru Down, C.I.N, IMP, Potna Duece and many more.  Download below, if interested:

East Oakland native, visual artist, swag assassin, and undercat Kreayshawn (Kray-shawn) has officially signed with Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. The 21 year-old will release “Gucci Gucci” via digital retailers on Tuesday, June 14th and prepare her forthcoming full-length debut album, due later this year.

“I’m excited to work with my new Columbia family. They understand my vision and are going to let me continue everything I’ve been doing. My hope is to inspire others to be young, wild, and free.”

Well that was fast. In a time where it only takes one viral video for you to “break through,” rapper Kreayshawn has supposedly already made that move.

According to Miss Info, the Oakland hipster-ish female rapper has signed a deal with Sony for over a million dollars. It’s a 360 deal, so she’ll be broke in a few years, but for the time being it should be a fun ride.

My opinion on her? I don’t know since I’ve only listened to the one single that everyone else has. I feel like she has the ability to capture a certain audience, though. The kind that reads The Fader and resides in the Lower East Side. The crowd that listens to Santigold and Odd Future.  M.I.A. meets Lil B. We shall see.

I’m not sold on this song (if you haven’t seen the video, just type this title in youtube) like the masses seem to be. Well, it seems like the masses are confused about what to think. But this dubstep remix of the track is an interesting look. Wish it didn’t have vocals.
