I’m pretty selective about what mash-ups make it onto this blog. That being said, these next to tracks deserve some love. Bay rap + electro = win!

First up is a tune from a local cat, Mikeyydropz. The drop brings some mean speaker shakin’ sub bass, which is shortly followed by one of Bay Area’s finest, Andre Nickatina, spittin’ that real shit.

And we also have quite a bayngin’ masher of CYV™ favorite, Claude VonStroke, and rap innovator Too $hort! What’s my favorite word?

Oh snap! K.I.H.T. is back from the dead, bay area style! On today’s plate we have Young L from the pack out doin’ his thang on this new joint, Young L-E-N. This beat is just ill. It’s got some break-beat dubstep type stagger and some definite electro influence too.

I will say that hyphy has been on point with the addition of electro-type noises into their music for a long time now. It was certainly an element that drew me into the music. Here’s an example:

J-Diggs – The Call Ft. The Thizz Kidz [link is broken temporarily - sorry!]

Just listen to that beat — straight fidget wobbles! And that was circa early 2008. It’s a shame that the movement lost so much steam. Shitty promoters and DJs around the bay ruined it for everyone! 94.9 and 106.1 are laiden with auto-tune and R&B bullshit on the regular. It’s quite unfortunate.

Anyways, the lyrics could use some work, but the video and beat are just redic.
