Description
Though he may not be recognized by a large national audience, Keak Da Sneak is a legend among Bay Area hip-hop heads and is an influential force within rap music, broadly speaking. A pioneer of the hyphy sound, Keak’s trademark gravelly vocals and stuttering delivery are instantly identifiable, while his infectious turns of phrase--most notably "fo sheezy"--have been picked up by larger names across the genre. The emcee has had a turbulent couple years. He was nearly killed in a 2016 shooting, and his 2017 album Withdrawal speaks to his struggles with substance abuse. Nonetheless, he continues to shine.
