If you were at last year’s History of the Bay Day in San Francisco, you already know. Put on by Lakeview rapper Dregs One, host of the History of the Bay podcast, the daytime party brought out a who’s-who of regional hip-hop legends and a completely packed house.

This year is shaping up to be no different, based on the lineup. Set for Oct. 19, the event will feature a reunion of the Jacka’s group Mob Figaz, along with a special tribute to the Jacka. Kamaiyah is on the bill too, along with Oakland ambassadors Souls of Mischief, who spent last year touring the globe to celebrate the anniversary of ’93 Til Infinity. B-Legit, Dru Down, DaBoii and Dregs One himself also perform.

For true Bay history, a rare performance by Demons of the Mind leads a dance cypher with Turf Feinz and Floor Gangz. There’s a skate photo gallery organized by FTC Skateboarding, and a graffiti gallery put together by Dying Breed SF.

This being Frisco, the event hands out its first Lifetime Achievement Award to Fillmore icon Rappin’ 4-Tay, whose recent cancer diagnosis has reminded folks to not take Bay Area legends for granted.

Throughout the event will be DJ sets, Bay Area memorabilia, a Women in Hip-Hop Panel hosted by KQED Arts & Culture’s Nastia Voynovskaya and more. Read our coverage of last year’s event here.

‘History of the Bay Day’ takes place Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Midway in San Francisco. Details here.
