#BAF10 2014 | Past Bay Area Freshmen...
On how they feel about this being the last class ever.
Get more details: http://www.thizzler.com/baf10
In 2010, DJ Amen kicked off the Bay Area Freshmen 10 with a class featuring artists such as iamsu!, Roach Gigz, Jay Ant, and more. Now, 4 years later the Bay Area Freshmen 10 has become a pillar of the Bay Area music scene, putting a spotlight on undiscovered artists who have since risen to stardom like Sage The Gemini, Kreayshawn, Loverance and G-Eazy. Although it has been an amazing outlet for local artists, this year we’re retiring the Bay Area Freshmen 10 name for good. But before we do, we’re looking for the next 10 artists who have the potential to represent the Bay Area on a national level. Who do you think deserves to be in the last ever Bay Area Freshmen 10 Class?
Edited by @EmDubious. Background music produced by @DexBeats.
Video features Loverance, Cousin Fik, Priceless Da Roc, HBK CJ, HBK Skipper, Davinci, Young Gully, DB Tha General, Nio Tha Gift, Mike-Dash-E, Nate, Akafrank, Prince Sole, and Smoovie Baby.

DJ Quantum x Strife | Monthly Mixtape Series
Khoi Quan aka DJ Quantum, is a world-traveling artist and performer based out of San Francisco Bay Area. He has been energizing street dance events, night clubs, and global venues since 1997.

From making breakbeat mixes to playing at late night studio sessions for dancers, Quantum's humble beginnings help lead him towards a career beyond San Jose for sharing his vision of the global beat.
His diverse selection in music and eclectic style of mixing and scratching has landed him an array of gigs, and he has shared the stage opening up for artists such as EPMD, Crazy Legs, D-Styles,The Bangerz, Zion I, Skeme Richards, and Dj Q-Bert just to name a few.

CaliMade Ft. Dave Steezy | Cinema
CaliMade, the new generation of youthful emcees emerging from the Bay Area have been dropping music steadily over the past few years and building their name with solid projects, both Clyde Shankle and Dayvid Michael having somewhat of a hiatus as their previous solo efforts dropped in 2012.
Kuya Beats of The Invasion provides Clyde and Dayvid with a bouncy cut that finds the two enlisting Dave Steezy for a guest spot, sounding right at home over the airy Kuya production.
This track is a loose joint that alludes to a collective project from CaliMade coming this summer, amongst a few other projects to drop soon from the Bay Area group, stay tuned for more soon.
Produced by Kuya Beats. New CaliMade project coming this summer.
