When it comes to trendsetters in the streets and hip-hop many are called but only a few are chosen. WAY WAY SANTANA has been that from the beginning inspiring rappers to rap and others to be comfortable with their sexuality, and countless more with self-confidence. Her influence and style have resonated with many in the Bay Area and across the country.
In the small city by the Bay Richmond, California there has been many talented rappers who have tried to breakthrough the upper echelons of the hip-hop industry. However, segregation and street violence has always prevented them from truly making an impact like in other cities i.e OAK, LA, ATL. Finally two of the Bay Area’s top artists from Richmond are trying to change the narrative. CashClick Boog (South Richmond) and Kavi Picasso of (North Richmond) joined forces on Cashclick Boog’s “Voice Of The Struggle” album set to be released October 31, 2020.

Johnny Castaneda aka “Johnny Ca$h” was a Richmond resident, a rising hip hop star, and a protege to the slain Mac Dre, when he was fatally shot in Vallejo on March 29, 2007.
