But unlike many street artists, HD delivers more gems than duds, and this track, released on Valentine’s Day, is one of them. In keeping with the Oakland independent style, HD favors quantity over quality, putting out tape after tape and single after single. G-Dirty - “Girl Krazy”Īn Oakland staple, HD got out of jail a few years back and has been dropping heat ever since.

The Bay's eyes really are all on him, and he makes it look easy to deliver with this introspective joint produced by the slap master DJ Mustard.

The Bay took a huge blow to the heart last month with the loss of the legendary Mob Figaz member The Jacka in a late night Oakland shooting. Dru Down and Joe Blow - “The President’s Face” Volume Two of On The Roof, dedicated to The Jacka, is below, with descriptions of each track in the mix: At Noisey, we love Bay Area rap, so we've teamed up with our friends over at Thizzler on the Roof to present a mix of some of the best the region has to offer right now.
