In this previously unreleased 2018 conversation, Bay Area rap group SOB X RBE sits down with DJ Vlad to trace their rise from Vallejo and North Vallejo to national attention. The crew discusses early records like “Cautious,” “Different,” “Anti,” and “Paramedic!,” their independent YouTube-driven strategy, and landing on Kendrick Lamar’s Black Panther soundtrack. They also reflect on Mac Dre’s lasting influence, Bay Area legends like E-40, Too Short, MC Hammer, RBL Posse, and the challenges of breaking out beyond California. The interview covers SOB X RBE’s formation, the meaning behind their name and logo, Interscope talks, Empire’s role in the Bay, upcoming projects including Gangin 2, and solo plans like Trust Issues. The group also opens up about family, fatherhood, probation, PTSD, face tattoos, Migos rumors, Lil Yachty, Golden State Warriors, and why Vallejo remains central to their story.
