TightHelluv.Com is proud as FUCK to introduce you all to the next Messiah of Bay hip hop, and it may not surprise you to learn his ROYAL Bay Area lineage. But you may be surprised to learn that he is only 15 years old. BEAST BAY STAND UP! Please, meet ISSUE, the Young Prince of Sick Wid It Records.

Another of the continuous stream of amazing musicians, rappers, singers, producers, DJs, and crews to break out of Berkeley with a sound so new, so fresh, so skilled, and so next level, that it begs the question...who are all these wise men from the East (Bay), offering gifts like it was Jonmas?

In the first of a brand new series examining the infinite possibilities for pushing Tightness to the next level when Tight meets Tight, TH.C helluvbrates the musical brilliance achieved when Bay legends E-40 and Too $hort collabo to show you how much better it is Being the Tightness, rather than being a BITH.C!!

The BEST example of being and sharing the tightness that I have seen in a really long time. A 69 year old grandmother (uh huh huh, I said 69) in Paris, France fucking rips it up on the 1s and 2s as DJ Ruth Flowers, the HBIC of Paris' bourgeoning club scene, helluv.

May 24, 1996 was the night of the final Sublime show, which happened to take place at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, CA, just 20 minutes from the childhood home of El Jefe Helluv. Too bad at age 14, the young Jefe missed out on the chance to witness the genius of Brad Nowelluv. Til now!

On Saturday night, El Jefe posted a photo on the TH.C Facebook page that demonstrated a rap interlude from one of the best rap albums of all time. A contest was born for all TightHelluvers to name that interlude, album, artist, and then argue for which is their fave track. And the winner is...

No doubt one of the hottest and most exciting musical duos that the Yay Area has ever produced, The Cataracs mashed straight out of Berkeley, and set out to Hel-LA to reinvent the music industry and the history of the world one Techno Hop track at a time. Cyrano and Campa are about to blow the fuck up!

Just one day after turning 21, Bobby Ray releases his brand new music video from Motion Family called "No Man's Land." For a guy primarily described as a rapper, Bobby is certainly on a mission to prove he is a dope artist, and even doper musicial genius, composer, and musician.

For the past 23 years, loving father, social change pioneer, rock legend, and one of the coolest people I have ever had the privilege to meet, Neil Young and his wife Pegi, have put on the most incredible concert in the world, The Bridge School Benefit Concert, to raise money and awareness for people suffering from cerebral palsey.

Last week brought news of the newly formed, unnamed supergroup that Thom Yorke & Flea decided to pull together to perform TY's solo music, and this week comes videos of the new songs and the band playing together for the first time! TIGHT HELLUV!!
