I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Lo-fi drum samples recorded on an iPhone contrast with crystal-clear, whistling synths; Lawson-Ndu’s wispy, malleable vocals act as an instrument all on their own. She whispers, sing-talks, launches timid inquisitions into an unknowable void and lingers in a reverb-y croon. The lyrics almost don’t even matter—the way she plays with her voice reveals everything the listener needs to know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if the words are abstract but I know the meaning of it, there’s a power in shifting your voice and expressing it that way,” she explains. “I thought about the emotion behind those moments and I was just like, I feel like ‘bleh,’ why can’t I just say ‘bleh’ if I feel that way?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawson-Ndu’s experimental vocal techniques come in part from a deepening comfort with her bandmates and a willingness to trust their instincts. The band members stumbled upon a new songwriting process for these songs, with bassist Doug Stuart and Lawson-Ndu writing over grainy drum recordings from drummer Geneva Harrison and recording their most natural, immediate responses. This new approach stands in sharp contrast to the formal musical backgrounds of the band members, who have degrees in classical theory and jazz studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of first thoughts stuck because we let out all of our weird or wonderful in that moment, and we were excited enough to let them stick,” Lawson-Ndu says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/bTtq1DB7-V4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of this weird and wonderful is present in the music video for “Be Brave,” a stand-alone track Bells Atlas released in June that acts as a bridge between their old material and what’s to come. In the surreal video filmed in the Alabama Hills on the east side of the Sierra Nevada, Lawson-Ndu, lost and dehydrated, encounters strange, furry desert creatures. The song acts a reminder of our own super powers; the creatures are inspired by artist Nick Cave’s outlandishly majestic \u003ca href=\"https://video.kqed.org/video/pbs-newshour-nick-cave-brings-art-sculpture-to-life-with-soundsuits/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soundsuits\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawson-Ndu found inspiration to embrace a new fearlessness in part from the evolving media landscape around her, including a recent influx of films created by and featuring nuanced representations of people of color. She says she feels freer to challenge boundaries and settle in spaces that don’t fall neatly into any one category, citing the genre-bending Frank Ocean as a musical hero.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland community, too, inspires the band. It was important to Bells Atlas to celebrate the release of their new EP with a hometown show at one of their favorite venues, The New Parish, on Sept. 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The venue recently changed ownership after former owner Jason Perkins was accused of \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2018/06/14/jason-perkins-of-parish-entertainment-group-dubbed-valenciavigilante-accused-of-accosting-homeless-man\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">harassing homeless residents\u003c/a> in San Francisco. The band paid careful attention to the controversy as it unfolded, wanting to make sure things were made right before going forward with the show they’d already scheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m happy they’ve made a conscious effort to do what feels right. That was important to us,” Lawson-Ndu says. Known for bringing a diverse array of local and national acts to its intimate stage, The New Parish is one of the only live music venues of its size in Oakland. “It’s an amazing venue, and I feel like it’s brought so much to Oakland. I would hate for that to exist under the shadow of one individual,” she adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show on Thursday will be just the beginning of finally letting words long held silent out into the open. Where her own words trail off, Lawson-Ndu quotes Maya Angelou to express her emotions surrounding the new music: “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Bells Atlas perform at The New Parish on Sept. 20.

For example, she hid the reason her father didn’t live with her from neighbors, and pretended her braids were her real hair rather than explaining black hair extensions to all the white kids at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13841152\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13841152\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Bells Atlas.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3-1180x788.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3-960x641.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/BellsAtlas-CAR-EDITED3-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bells Atlas. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Bells Atlas)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Musically, “Downpour” takes a more odd, experimental turn than the rest of Bells Atlas’ oeuvre. Lo-fi drum samples recorded on an iPhone contrast with crystal-clear, whistling synths; Lawson-Ndu’s wispy, malleable vocals act as an instrument all on their own. She whispers, sing-talks, launches timid inquisitions into an unknowable void and lingers in a reverb-y croon. The lyrics almost don’t even matter—the way she plays with her voice reveals everything the listener needs to know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if the words are abstract but I know the meaning of it, there’s a power in shifting your voice and expressing it that way,” she explains. “I thought about the emotion behind those moments and I was just like, I feel like ‘bleh,’ why can’t I just say ‘bleh’ if I feel that way?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawson-Ndu’s experimental vocal techniques come in part from a deepening comfort with her bandmates and a willingness to trust their instincts. The band members stumbled upon a new songwriting process for these songs, with bassist Doug Stuart and Lawson-Ndu writing over grainy drum recordings from drummer Geneva Harrison and recording their most natural, immediate responses. This new approach stands in sharp contrast to the formal musical backgrounds of the band members, who have degrees in classical theory and jazz studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of first thoughts stuck because we let out all of our weird or wonderful in that moment, and we were excited enough to let them stick,” Lawson-Ndu says.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/bTtq1DB7-V4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/bTtq1DB7-V4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Some of this weird and wonderful is present in the music video for “Be Brave,” a stand-alone track Bells Atlas released in June that acts as a bridge between their old material and what’s to come. In the surreal video filmed in the Alabama Hills on the east side of the Sierra Nevada, Lawson-Ndu, lost and dehydrated, encounters strange, furry desert creatures. The song acts a reminder of our own super powers; the creatures are inspired by artist Nick Cave’s outlandishly majestic \u003ca href=\"https://video.kqed.org/video/pbs-newshour-nick-cave-brings-art-sculpture-to-life-with-soundsuits/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soundsuits\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawson-Ndu found inspiration to embrace a new fearlessness in part from the evolving media landscape around her, including a recent influx of films created by and featuring nuanced representations of people of color. She says she feels freer to challenge boundaries and settle in spaces that don’t fall neatly into any one category, citing the genre-bending Frank Ocean as a musical hero.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland community, too, inspires the band. It was important to Bells Atlas to celebrate the release of their new EP with a hometown show at one of their favorite venues, The New Parish, on Sept. 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The venue recently changed ownership after former owner Jason Perkins was accused of \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2018/06/14/jason-perkins-of-parish-entertainment-group-dubbed-valenciavigilante-accused-of-accosting-homeless-man\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">harassing homeless residents\u003c/a> in San Francisco. The band paid careful attention to the controversy as it unfolded, wanting to make sure things were made right before going forward with the show they’d already scheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m happy they’ve made a conscious effort to do what feels right. That was important to us,” Lawson-Ndu says. Known for bringing a diverse array of local and national acts to its intimate stage, The New Parish is one of the only live music venues of its size in Oakland. “It’s an amazing venue, and I feel like it’s brought so much to Oakland. I would hate for that to exist under the shadow of one individual,” she adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show on Thursday will be just the beginning of finally letting words long held silent out into the open. Where her own words trail off, Lawson-Ndu quotes Maya Angelou to express her emotions surrounding the new music: “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Bells Atlas perform at The New Parish on Sept. 20.

"content": "\u003cp>On Sept. 15–16 at Oakland’s Coliseum grounds, a poster of P-Lo, the hyphy heartthrob, greeted Rolling Loud’s thousands of attendees as they entered the venue to witness an intergenerational lineup of Bay Area rappers and industry heavyweights like Travis Scott and Pusha T.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Bay is very important to the history of hip-hop,” Tariq Cherif, co-founder of Rolling Loud, told KQED Arts. “You know, a lot of the modern independent hip-hop scene was built and modeled after what guys in the Bay were doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since its debut in 2015, Rolling Loud has become the world’s largest traveling hip-hop festival, with editions in Miami and Los Angeles. But in 2017, its inaugural Bay Area event at Shoreline Amphitheater didn’t go off without a hitch: beloved Berkeley rapper Lil B was physically assaulted, allegedly by another rapper’s entourage, and some Bay Area rap fans and promoters lambasted the event online as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolling Loud 2018 in Oakland, however, took a different tone: the two-day festival celebrated and uplifted the Bay Area’s regional sounds, with high-energy performances by over a dozen Northern California artists, including E-40, Kamaiyah, Saweetie, P-Lo, Mozzy and ALLBLACK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”dHZsarkx1OlSZd4KoCbxjiyUAUy2DwXc”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The critical mass of Bay Area and Sacramento artists kept the fest from feeling generic and gave it a distinctively local flavor. Without these acts, Rolling Loud Oakland would have blended in with the festival’s other editions, where Travis Scott, Young Thug and Jaden Smith have already performed. The crowd looked familiar, too: neon fanny packs, NBA jerseys and white-girl cornrows resembled Instagram in real life. And as it often happens at music festivals, many non-black concertgoers seemed to feel disconcertingly at ease saying the n-word as they rapped along with their favorite artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13840951\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13840951\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"ALLBLACK backstage at Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Saturday, September 15, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">ALLBLACK backstage at Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Saturday, September 15, 2018. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At Rolling Loud’s Saturday kick-off, ALLBLACK didn’t let fans forget they were at a show in East Oakland, his home turf. He’s an emerging regional star on his way towards carrying Oakland’s sound beyond the 510. His set narrated his life experiences as a black man growing up in a neighborhood called the Murder Dubs, with an aggressive flow that blends the Town’s earlier music movements of mobb and hyphy into a forceful signature sound.[contextly_sidebar id=”CJzT37B5wN3POJuedBwhEnUML2PNFOi1″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>P-Lo, fresh off of a national tour with Oakland-born chart-topper G-Eazy, performed an energetic homecoming set. His memorable line from his track “Put Me on Somethin’,” “Last year they ain’t even like the Bay,” served as a reminder of the Bay Area’s fight for recognition in the national music scene. After the hyphy movement, the Bay’s relationship to mainstream hip-hop weakened. But the recent rise of artists like G-Eazy, Kamaiyah and Saweetie, all of whom have major label deals, indicates a shift. Bay Area artists have long fought for a seat at the table, and the numerous local artists at Rolling Loud certainly felt like a step in that direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When G-Eazy joined P-Lo to perform their collaborative Bay Area anthem, “Power,” P-Lo shouted to the crowd, “You proud to be from the Bay… because I’m reppin proud Bay Area sh-t.” He and his DJ, Cal-A, tore up the crowd like only some boys from the Bay could, gigging in the audience as they closed their set. To the side of the stage, members of HBK Gang and ALLBLACK went dumb in solidarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, Saweetie and Guapdad 4000 performed an unreleased collaboration during the “Icy Girl” rapper’s set; the sense of community among the local artists was palpable. For a weekend, Bay Area rappers set aside differences and performed as a united front as the industry’s underdogs, holding their own among a roster of mainstream artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13840924\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13840924\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Kamaiyah plays Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Sunday, September 16, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kamaiyah plays Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Sunday, September 16, 2018. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This year’s Rolling Loud featured a notable increase of female rappers, including Kamaiyah, the reigning queen of the Bay Area rap scene.“I f-cking made it in Oakland, we ain’t never seen anything like this before,” she said as she opened her set.

But in 2017, its inaugural Bay Area event at Shoreline Amphitheater didn’t go off without a hitch: beloved Berkeley rapper Lil B was physically assaulted, allegedly by another rapper’s entourage, and some Bay Area rap fans and promoters lambasted the event online as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolling Loud 2018 in Oakland, however, took a different tone: the two-day festival celebrated and uplifted the Bay Area’s regional sounds, with high-energy performances by over a dozen Northern California artists, including E-40, Kamaiyah, Saweetie, P-Lo, Mozzy and ALLBLACK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The critical mass of Bay Area and Sacramento artists kept the fest from feeling generic and gave it a distinctively local flavor. Without these acts, Rolling Loud Oakland would have blended in with the festival’s other editions, where Travis Scott, Young Thug and Jaden Smith have already performed. The crowd looked familiar, too: neon fanny packs, NBA jerseys and white-girl cornrows resembled Instagram in real life. And as it often happens at music festivals, many non-black concertgoers seemed to feel disconcertingly at ease saying the n-word as they rapped along with their favorite artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13840951\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13840951\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"ALLBLACK backstage at Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Saturday, September 15, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">ALLBLACK backstage at Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Saturday, September 15, 2018. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At Rolling Loud’s Saturday kick-off, ALLBLACK didn’t let fans forget they were at a show in East Oakland, his home turf. He’s an emerging regional star on his way towards carrying Oakland’s sound beyond the 510. His set narrated his life experiences as a black man growing up in a neighborhood called the Murder Dubs, with an aggressive flow that blends the Town’s earlier music movements of mobb and hyphy into a forceful signature sound.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

His memorable line from his track “Put Me on Somethin’,” “Last year they ain’t even like the Bay,” served as a reminder of the Bay Area’s fight for recognition in the national music scene. After the hyphy movement, the Bay’s relationship to mainstream hip-hop weakened. But the recent rise of artists like G-Eazy, Kamaiyah and Saweetie, all of whom have major label deals, indicates a shift. Bay Area artists have long fought for a seat at the table, and the numerous local artists at Rolling Loud certainly felt like a step in that direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When G-Eazy joined P-Lo to perform their collaborative Bay Area anthem, “Power,” P-Lo shouted to the crowd, “You proud to be from the Bay… because I’m reppin proud Bay Area sh-t.” He and his DJ, Cal-A, tore up the crowd like only some boys from the Bay could, gigging in the audience as they closed their set. To the side of the stage, members of HBK Gang and ALLBLACK went dumb in solidarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, Saweetie and Guapdad 4000 performed an unreleased collaboration during the “Icy Girl” rapper’s set; the sense of community among the local artists was palpable. For a weekend, Bay Area rappers set aside differences and performed as a united front as the industry’s underdogs, holding their own among a roster of mainstream artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13840924\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13840924\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Kamaiyah plays Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Sunday, September 16, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kamaiyah plays Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Sunday, September 16, 2018. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This year’s Rolling Loud featured a notable increase of female rappers, including Kamaiyah, the reigning queen of the Bay Area rap scene.“I f-cking made it in Oakland, we ain’t never seen anything like this before,” she said as she opened her set.

Georgia Anne Muldrow, a Stones Throw Records signee with a soulful singing voice, delivered an emotive set of experimental R&B, dancing on stage in her Rastafarian colors. She ended her set with the words “Black power!” Similarly, Freddie Gibbs’s call of “f-ck the police” carried weight in the context of the politically charged day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amid other significantly pricier and more homogenous festivals in the Bay Area—whose lineups often mirror other festivals around the country—Hiero Day remains special. Its organizers, conscious hip-hop crew Hieroglyphics, have held true to their vision of accessibility and originality. Although this year’s lineup wasn’t as star-studded as 2017’s (\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13807461/hiero-day-2017-music-highlights-and-photo-gallery\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">which included Lil B, Goapele and Bun B\u003c/a>), Hiero Day managed to spotlight local talent and bring in world-class artists, like Cash Money Records producer Mannie Fresh, while keeping ticket prices low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Year after year, Hieroglyphics’ commitment to their vision ensures a diverse, intergenerational crowd of music lovers.

Georgia Anne Muldrow, a Stones Throw Records signee with a soulful singing voice, delivered an emotive set of experimental R&B, dancing on stage in her Rastafarian colors.
