Band$ From Tha Rose is a rapper from Santa Rosa who has been on a consistent run over the last few years. Inspired by his city’s other local talents like Ray Luv, Band$ started taking rap seriously after a stint in prison. Since then, he’s collaborated with Rydah J. Klyde, Goldtoes, CML Lavish D, and many others.
As a Latino from Northern California, he’s represented for his section, which led to a rap beef with LA rapper Lefty Gunplay. In this episode, we discuss NorCal-SoCal politics, the crossover between Black and Latino culture, and how Latino rappers from NorCal can get the exposure they deserve.
