A-Wax & Big Tone: Working With Woodie, Independent Music Game, Pittsburg & Antioch Connection
Рет қаралды 35,997
Күн бұрынHistory of the Bay Podcast Episode 24: A-Wax and Big Tone are veteran rappers representing the East Bay cities of Pittsburg and Antioch. Both got involved in gang life early and saw music as a way to turn their lives around. Wax and Tone linked up through Woodie, the legendary Antioch rapper who made his own beats and created the acclaimed Northern Expozure compilation series through his record label East Co-Co Records. Woodie taught both of them about the independent music business and inspired A-Wax to start Pie-Rx Records and Big Tone's Sav It Out Records. Wax and Tone have kept Woodie's legacy alive since his passing in 2007 and recently linked up to drop their collaborative album "The Redprint" in 2023. On this episode, they give insight into their careers and drop gems on how they navigate business, find success as an artist, and motivate others through their work.

No one made music like Woodie. Around the 20 minute mark really match my feeling. The Patriot Act by Woodie is one of the hardest songs ever. Woodie warned us of what was to come and he predicted correctly. Woodie was so much more than a gang banger, he was extremely intelligent on not just the streets but political and class struggle. I don't mean to sound all deep or woke but to Woodies music espoused values. His music was revolutionary in multiple senses. Rest in Peace Woodie, and shout out to Tone and Wax. Had to edit and add "Woodie is like beer", as a white dude who heard Woodie living in Oregon Woodie was the craziest shit I had ever heard when I first listened to it. A lot it I hated but the more I listened the harder it was to put down. Id argue when it comes to hustle, flow, rhyme, story telling, all that he deserves to be up on lists with PAC

Got online at a local place, and put it names n remember 50 50 Chances comin up and that was how it all started. N then knew it wasnt just 40 Water, 4 Tay, Richie Richie, Paris n Spice 1 etc.!!

I like how they said secret society in the bay area. They named alot of great artists. There used to be levels to the game out here. Who does deeper than Two-Illeven and UDI are artists like Dush Tray, 380, 5150, Black Dynasty, SK-1, and even if u wana go to DEEPEST side check out Mc2 & Jdog, Young Dre D, Kreep, Marv/Mitch & LeMay, Yun-Gun, Skanless, Lil Pigg Penn, Bee-Gee, G-idez. Alot of those are Sac rappers but there were levels of depth to the underground scene back then. It was pure art. Nothing less. The game is 100% percent watered down nowadays. Awax n Tone are some real legends. I just don't feel how some of these rappers change they style with the times. I understand it but i fucks wit that early 90s to early 2000s shit. RIP WOODIE THE LEGEND. AND MUCH RESPECT TO AWAX N BIG TONE. REAL FACTORS

I grew up on listening to Sir Dyno before I started listening to Woodie, I’m from the 209 from Waterford but Dyno lives in Modesto. I also remember the deep south side rappers.
