History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 82: B-Legit is a certified West Coast legend who helped pave the way for Bay Area rap as a member of The Click with his cousins E-40, Suga T, and D-Shot. Growing up in Vallejo's Hillside neighborhood, B-Legit talks about his early days being influenced by the D-Boy culture of the 80s while also discovering hip-hop. While attending Grambling University for a year with E-40, they started rapping and decided to come back to Vallejo and form a group. From there, they created Sick Wid It Records and innovated business strategies to take independent rap music to the next level. This led to a deal with Jive Records and B-Legit has been a fixture in rap music ever since. In this episode he also discusses 2pac, Mac Dre, C-Bo, and many other highlights from his career.
