Black C and Keak Da Sneak have officially released their long-awaited collaborative album, 3X Ruthless, delivering a 17-track project that brings together decades of Northern California hip-hop history with a lineup of respected West Coast producers. After weeks of teaser clips and social media previews, the album is now available.The project is powered by production from Ant Banks & Big Zeke of 80 Seven Productions, The Mekanix, Hermanata, along with additional contributions from other producers featured throughout the release. Ant Banks and Big Zeke teamed up on four of the album’s records, adding a familiar layer of Bay Area funk while complementing the modern production styles supplied by The Mekanix and Hermanata. That combination gives 3X Ruthless a sound that acknowledges the region’s roots without remaining tied exclusively to the past.The collaboration pairs two artists whose names have long been intertwined with Northern California rap. Black C helped establish RBL Posse as one of San Francisco’s defining independent groups during the 1990s, while Keak Da Sneak emerged through 3X Krazy before becoming one of Oakland’s most recognizable voices and a central figure in the hyphy movement. Their catalogs have crossed paths for years, making 3X Ruthless feel less like a surprise collaboration and more like a natural extension of the Bay Area’s musical lineage.Momentum surrounding the album began building with the Hermanata-produced single “41510,” a title paying tribute to San Francisco’s 415 and Oakland’s 510 area codes. Additional promotional clips, including previews for tracks such as “Get It Krack’n,” kept anticipation high as both artists consistently updated fans across social media leading into release day. by @big_zeke_80seven

Bay Area hip-hop veterans Black C of RBL Posse and Keak Da Sneak are preparing to release their long-awaited collaborative album, 3X Ruthless, on July 10, bringing together two influential voices whose careers have helped shape Northern California rap across multiple generations. Recent promotional posts shared by both artists on Instagram confirmed the release date while unveiling the album artwork and producer lineup.The project features production from an accomplished team that spans several eras of West Coast music, including Ant Banks, Big Zeke, Sean T, Hermanata, The Mekanix, and Braumah Guru. That combination blends classic Bay Area funk-driven production with modern street-oriented sounds, creating expectations that 3X Ruthless will bridge the region’s musical legacy with its contemporary direction.The album continues a productive stretch for Black C, who has remained active with new releases, collaborations, and videos while preserving the legacy of RBL Posse, one of the Bay Area’s most respected groups since the 1990s. Formed alongside the late Mr. Cee, RBL Posse earned recognition through independent releases that became staples of the West Coast underground and helped define San Francisco’s contribution to the era’s thriving rap scene.Keak Da Sneak’s involvement carries its own historical significance. Widely recognized as one of Oakland’s defining artists, Keak helped popularize the unmistakable vocal delivery and slang that became synonymous with the Bay Area’s hyphy movement. Before establishing a lengthy solo career, he rose to prominence as a founding member of 3X Krazy, a group whose influence extended well beyond album sales and helped introduce regional expressions that later became embedded in hip-hop culture. by @big_zeke_80seven

Oakland rap icon Too $hort has unveiled the Justin Moser and Ryan Neil teaser video for “Sucka Shit,” a blunt and unfiltered track from his new project Sir Too $hort Vol. I (Freaky Tales). Produced by longtime collaborator Ant Banks alongside Big Zeke, the record captures $hort in familiar territory—calling out the people he sees as moving foul or insincere.The release carries the weight of decades of Bay Area history. Since the mid-1980s, Too $hort has been one of the region’s most enduring voices, pressing tapes out of his trunk before breaking nationally with Born to Mack in 1987. His partnership with Ant Banks dates back to the early ’90s, when the producer helped shape the sound of Oakland and laced $hort with the kind of slow-rolling basslines and sharp funk edges that became synonymous with West Coast rap.In “Sucka Shit,” $hort leans into that legacy with a no-nonsense approach. Where many of his contemporaries have softened their stance over the years, $hort remains direct, aiming his bars at anyone he considers fraudulent or posturing.Sir Too $hort Vol. I (Freaky Tales) is the latest in a career that now spans nearly 40 years. Few artists have sustained relevance across as many eras of hip-hop as $hort, who has weathered shifts from analog tapes to streaming platforms while never abandoning his unmistakable Oakland drawl and hardline perspective. With Ant Banks and Big Zeke behind the boards, “Sucka Shit” re-centers that classic $hort sound while underlining why his name still commands attention in 2025. by @big_zeke_80seven
