Eight Gigs: California Bear Gang

California Bear Gang has the classic sound of Sacramento hip-hop. Though the group has only been around since 2010, the trio—RobRoy, Mc2, and Masyah—spit verses over laid-back West Coast beats that are straight out of ’90s Cali. It mixes in different flows, hooks and lyrical styles. There’s a lot of hometown pride in the music. Sacramento gets tons of shout outs, and the videos’ locales should all be recognizable to locals. Lyrically, it’s all about weed, women and keeping it gangsta—perfect for kicking back and vibing out. 1400 Alhambra Boulevard, www.beargang.biz.
