It’s been almost five years since Rappin’ 4-Tay last released an album, but that drought is over as the San Francisco veteran independently released Still Standing Vol. 1 just this past September. 4-Tay is best known for bringing that smooth Bay Area pimp vibe to his early 90s hits “Playaz Club” and the remake of The Spinners classic, “I’ll Be Around.”
Even though he fell out of the national spotlight after those two hits, 4-Tay went independent and continued to release albums and sell units locally in the true fashion of a Bay Area artist. AllHipHop.com connected with the Frisco legend to remind the world that 4-Tay is “still standing” after all these years – even if the days of nearly guaranteed, national radio play may be long over. Who says one can’t have a long career after a major label contract is gone? Not 4-Tay:
AllHipHop.com: Mr. Rappin’ 4-Tay, how are you?
Rappin’ 4-Tay: I’m good. Rub a dub dub, I’m chillin’ here at the Playaz Club.
AllHipHop.com: Yes, I remember that song. It still gets played on the old school stations out here in Los Angeles.
Rappin’ 4-Tay: KDAY. We need a station like that out here in the Bay Area. I like how they stay dedicated to the old school.
