Today, G59 Records rapper Ramirez and Virginia singer-songwriter-producer Rocci release their collaborative album Tha Playa$ Manual via G59 Records / Caroline. The entire album is co-produced by Ramirez and Rocci and influenced by classic G-Funk sounds blended with Mid-West and Southern Rap vibes. Guest features include Ramirez’s G59 Records labelmates Night Lovell and Shakewell as well as Miami underground rap star Pouya.
Ramirez explains, “What inspired my project was the music I grew up with… that old Bay Area gangsta rap. San Francisco had a very unique sound when it came to the 90s. You have the Rappin’ 4-Tays, RBL Posses, Cellskis, Andre Nickatinas, Dush Trays, San Quinns and the get low production. My neighborhood was full of low riders and the gang bangers would treat me like family cuz I grew up there.
“I decided to work with Rocci on this project for the simple fact that he understood my vision.”
