Hyphy Records is what I am looking to create. Hyphy Records is a record production label, with one purpose, to make Hyphy Music (Bay Area style hip hop music). As the founder of this record company I plan to sign artists and make what the bay area calls “Slapperz and Slumperz”. A slapper is a hyphy song with a hyphy beat and a slumper is almost the same. This slang is one of the many words of slang that we use in the bay are and in our music. Hyphy was created in the early 80’s by Mac Dre and other bay rappers. They had nowhere to party so they created what we call sideshows. A Sideshow is a gathering where people drive their scrapper (cars) and pop their trunks and slap hyphy music all night. These sideshows where soon considered illegal and broken up by the police because of drugs and injuries from walking next to their car while no one is driving (ghost riding). Hyphy is a rap that is dying and I am looking to revive it through the new Vay Area (Las Vegas, NV) and Hyphy Records!
