Turf Talk IS BACK! Hyphy Movement, E-40, & Why He Left Rap

For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: [email protected] -- History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 133: 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/3ZU...
