One Drop Scott: Producing For Mac Dre, C-Bo, Jacka, Sheila E, Surviving Near-Death Attack

History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 62: Growing up in Berkeley, One Drop Scott has been a musician his entire life. His journey into the arts starts with his father, blaxploitation actor Thalmus Rasulala. Once he picked up his first instruments, Scott began playing with legends like Sheila E and Confunkshun. He got into hip-hop early, forming a group called the Surf MC’s with fellow Berkeley producer Tone Capone. Scott soon began producing for some of Northern California’s most legendary rappers like Mac Dre, C-Bo & The Jacka. After being viciously attacked in 2003, he survived a one-month coma due to his desire to continue making music. To this day Scott continues to produce for rappers, play in bands, and tour the world.
