Notes & Personnel Info |  | Additional personnel: 2Cool, J-Stalin, Dubee AKA Sugawolf, E-40, Mac Dre, Rick Rock, San Quinn, Tha Cutthroat Committee, Turf Talk, Rydah J Klyde, Mistah F.A.B.. | | Audio Mixers: Jason Moss; Lev Berlak. | | Recording information: Infinite Studios; Keak's Joint; PS Buildin'; The Grill; The Orange Room; Thizzneyland. | | The collaboration album, DA BIDNESS, brings together three of the Bay Area's strongest artists. Called by some "the King of the Bay," Keak da Sneak finds a fresh balance for his uniquely feverish flow and gravelly voice, rhyming alongside fellow Bay Area natives P.S.D. Da Drivah and Messy Marv, who alternate with more traditional gangsta styles and the occasional melodic croon. Together the trio is a force to be reckoned with. Upbeat and choppy production from the likes of Rick Rock, Jake & the Phat Man, Tron Trees, and Droop E (son of another Bay Area legend, E-40) makes DA BIDNESS one of the most ear-friendly and danceable hyphy albums available. | | Teaming up with other Bay Area rappers Messy Marv (from San Francisco) and Mac Dre-associate P.S.D. (from Vallejo), Keak da Sneak (from Oakland) released Da Bidness in 2007. The production is good -- definitely hyphy oriented, which makes sense, as all three MCs are heavily involved in the scene, and have been for a while -- as is the rapping, and guests San Quinn and Mistah F.A.B., each of whom show up a few times, contribute decent verses as well. For those wanting to a get a taste of California's underground scene, or even for those familiar with it but wanting to see what their favorite rappers can do together, Da Bidness is a good choice. ~ Marisa Brown |
