Skyballa
One of few Bay Area artists to have been recognized by picky East Coast hip-hop magazine The Source in its section for new talent ("Unsigned Hype"), Skyballa has been steadily building his name nationally for the last few years since receiving that street-respected honor. The former pimp and drug dealer from the Fillmore District of San Francisco has proved himself to be an excellent networker, forging relationships with national rap stars like the Game, Young Jeezy, Juelz Santana, and Fabolous, who have all collaborated on tracks with Skyballa. Though his alleged past includes some not particularly family-friendly subject matter, Skyballa possesses a relatability that could make him break out of best kept secret status as the Bay Area goes through yet another hip-hop renaissance.
