Sunnydale OG L-Chedda On Turf Wars, SF Rap Origins, TearItOff
L-Chedda is one of the original rappers from Sunnydale, one of San Francisco’s most notorious projects. He saw the rise of hip-hop in the city, as well as the turf wars and the crack epidemic. Cheddar flipped street money to co-found Butt Naked Records and put out groups from his hood like Down N Dirty Hustlas and Ghetto Soldiers. He caught an out-of-state case in 2006 which resulted in a 6-year prison sentence. Since coming home, Chedda has focused on legitimate careers, pushing his music catalogue, and mentoring the new generation of youth in Sunnydale.--Essential Bay Area Rap Playlist: https://fanlink.tv/historyofthebay-playlist--Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dregsone--For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail info@historyofthebay.com--Online Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com --Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Growing up in SF05:27 Moving to Sunnydale15:37 Crack era 21:29 Hip-hop in SF30:35 Peter Lee37:20 Trying to make peace41:39 Turf wars49:32 2pac, Black C54:41 Butt Naked Records1:02:52 Cougnut1:04:21 Hustlin over music1:07:18 Solo album1:12:59 34 Village1:18:50 Catching a case1:26:57 Getting back to music1:33:28 New Sunnydale rappers

How Death & Prison Derailed Bay Area Hip-Hop
