What do you get when you combine three west coast rap veterans for one album? Da Bidness!!! Messy Marv the west coast pioneer, Keak Da Sneak the hyphy frontman, and the bays highly touted underrated P.S.D. Messy Marv who is a pure definition of veteran with over 20 solo/collaboration albums under his belt thus far. Emerging in the early 1990's Messy Marv became a bay area favorite instantly with his album "Messy Situationz" which is garnered among many a bay area classic. Messy continued to thrive with several projects but struck gold when him and long time partner San Quinn released "Explosive Mode". The album was one of the most talked about bay area albums in the late 90's and sprung both rappers to another level. The project also showcased rappers who have gone on to have success on their own such as Willie Hen & Sky Balla.
Keak Da Sneak born of parents from Alabama, Keak was brought to Oakland at six months of age. His mother was a professional DJ, and he grew up surrounded by music and influential older siblings. He found popularity and an ability with words while attending Allendale Elementary School, which he parlayed into later friendships and talent show performances at Oakland's Bret Harte Junior High. It was there he met later collaborator Agerman. Together, they formed Dual Committee, which was first heard on the song "Stompin In My Steel Toes" on C-BO's 1994 EP The Autopsy. By the end of his 11th grade year, they had added rapper B.A. to form the group 3X Krazy. Their first EP, Sick-O, was released independently in 1995. In 1996 they signed to Virgin records, releasing the album Stackin' Chips in 1997, and the sophomore album Immortilized, and then the release of Real talk 2000 in Late 1999. The last 3X Krazy album, a collection of previously unreleased material, was "flowamatic-9", which was released in 2004. Citing the personal growth of all three artists, he later signed as a solo artist with Sacramento-based Moe Doe records as a solo artist. At this point, Keak began to receive more radio airplay (although his lyrics had grown more explicit), especially on San Francisco hip-hop station KMEL.
Keak is now is gaining popularity beyond the Bay Area with his recent songs "Super Hyphy" (2005) and "T-Shirt, Blue Jeans, and Nikes" featuring E-40. The music video for "Super Hyphy" was directed by Mickey Finnegan of Los Angeles based Half-White Productions, and has received frequent airplay on MTV, elevating Keak and the hyphy movement to nation-wide recognition. The video features Keak as a spelling bee contestant correctly spelling the word "hyphy". Keak largely produces the original versions of the beats used in his songs, noting that he writes a song, lyrics and instrumental, entirely himself. He currently is living on a farm outside of Sacramento with his family, which he says helps him focus on his children and step son Shawn Holmes from Roseville. He is also featured on E-40's 2006 hit, "Tell Me When To Go." He was featured on E-40's 'Hall Of Game' album at the tender age of 17.
P.S.D. was raised shuttling between California and Mississippi; he first attracted underground attention with his contribution to the compilation Mobbin' Thru the Bay, leading to appearances on other comps including Rompalation, Spread Yo' Hustle, and 3 Beam Circus. P.S.D. has been one of the more slept on artists when it comes to bay area music but has always kept bust with collaborations and six solo albums to date.
Da Bidness is set to hit stores this fall.
