For 15 years The Jacka has been cutting his own kind of dope and pitching it to eager consumers of mob influenced hip hop across the world. His current release “Got Bots 2 The D-Boy Era” featuring crushing re-productions of classic hip hop era beats with his homie Lee Majors falls neatly into that slot he’s cut for himself. It’s notoriously tough to track down the Jacka, he’s constantly moving like a shark swimming through the ocean. Picking up people, doing shows across the country and sitting only long enough to write a solid verse and he’s back on the move. His words are backed by a solid street cred on and off the mic, partially having to do with him making his first 6 figures off hip hop when he was just 17 straight out of high school and never looking back. One could even say after listening to this interview that The Jacka was born into hip hop and he truly experienced the 80’s…those halcyon days known as the first Golden Era. From Slick Rick, label dominated street fashion to breakdancing to the out break of crack cocaine in the hood the Jacka was there and these are just a few of his thoughts. Get Up On Magic!

Shane is a San Mateo graf legend and business man. Starting in the early 90’s he held it down as

San Mateo’s premier hip hop record store Below The Surface, which when times changed he flipped into a successful online business So Far West. He’s got a nose for successful new hustles like a fox smells water in the desert. He does it all. But lately you can find him at one of his two barbershops, San Mateo Zoo or Headshots holding it down with a straight edge razor and liners, with an all hitter cast of 10 barbers working his shop’s chairs ceaselessly 6 days a week. Appointments are a necessity.

With an acute business mind he’s always got two or three new projects in the works. Next on deck is the

expansion of his San Mateo Zoo location to incorporate a full fitted hat shop along with blue print plans for out of state projects that shall remain low key for now. Nothing is out of grasp for this humble dude who’s only comment on his success is “Anyone can do it”. Humility has gone a long long way for this yung entrepreneur. Oh and did we mention the  homie is BLASSTED! GET UP ON MAGIC!
