Legendary is a status reserved for the few. Some earn this status with a career as an artist, an indelible act or having been part of a movement or moment. Some, who know his tale and trials and tribulations, call Rappin' 4-Tay a legend. Hailing from the Bay Area, you can't deny his formidable voice on such classic tracks as Too $hort's "Don't Fight The Feelin," as well as his seminal classics "Playaz Club" and "Ain't No Playa." 4-Tay represents the "playa"-isms of the game and does so with nitty gritty authenticity. Expect a whole lotta game and lyricism Friday night at El Protrero, when he headlines Tim-Me's album release party for Still Growin' Cuts of Cannabis.
