Idk if you’re still doing that all-nighter but here’s some mob music anyway. “Pools”- Glass Animals “The Magician”- Andy Shauf “People Like Me, People Like You”- Bane’s World
Oh wow, it’s been ages. Sorry about that!
Listening to Pools I can def see where you’re coming from! It has Confession Arc vibes to me (and a pretty neat rhythm and aesthetic besides).
I love that you didn’t say any character name and yet?? The Magician is such a Reigen song!! It’s immediately apparent! (It’s also my kind of melody, so I’m digging it) ((I am very much biased in this; don’t talk to me about reigen, ritsu and magicians, y’all)
People Like Me, People Like You is a more multi-purpose song to me - it could apply to a lot of characters in all kinds of constellations. Its mood is so specific, I’m sure I’ll be listening to it again.

Jack The Bay's Artist
To the bay rap enthusiasts, he is known as The Jacka aka "ice cold mack from the Figaz". He has been a staple in Northern California's underground scene since 1999 as a member of C-Bo's Mob Figaz. He has grown to become one of the bay's hip hop torch bearers, continuing the area's mob music tradition of slow and heavy funk blending with rattling bass. So the news of Dominic Newton's death on February 2, 2015 certainly hit the bay streets right in the gut, as his music was the soundtrack to those who looked for an alternative to the hyphy movement in the 2000s. For me, what I appreciated the most about him was that there was depth whenever I heard an album. He had his street edge bangers, but I think what was overlooked was how melodic alot of his music was. Songs like "Kuran" gave us the more reflective Dominic, who drew from a Muslim background. He even had his share of songs for the ladies that didn't sound like an artist making a futile attempt at radio play. They got plenty of love from the women. I appreciated the exposure that hyphy brought to the masses, but for me, Jacka was sort of a throwback to the mob music that I grew up around in Sacramento. It was the bay's answer to the G-Funk sound that the Los Angeles rap scene was bringing forth. I prefer the slower tempo raps to a song like "Aspen" to the high energy hyphy that the public still links bay area hip hop with, not realizing how diverse the region is. Two rappers can reside in Oakland and Pittsburg and be on the same track, but their styles are be very much contrasting.
Our artists are different. They not on no celebrity shit. Everyone got a story wit a local artist. Some every day down to earth shit. — dandelion (@citazworld) February 3, 2015
This tweet is why I think there's nothing like the love bay area artists get from its locals. It's an often overlooked section of Hip Hop in comparison to other cities that gain more recognition. Because of this, bay rappers never really leave town once they gain notoriety. They embrace their fans who have supported them when no one else in the industry has or perhaps never will. The fans in return feel that connection with rappers that you don't get in any other state. That is why when someone passes away, the entire region feels it, no matter how obscure the artist is. In Jacka's case, he will always be considered a legend in the bay streets, even if the rest of the country seems to think otherwise. Here are some choice songs I think you should take time to listen to.
