If you were at last year’s History of the Bay Day in San Francisco, you already know. Put on by Lakeview rapper Dregs One, the host of the History of the Bay podcast, the daytime party brought out a who’s-who of regional hip-hop legends and a completely packed house.
This year is shaping up to be no different, based on today’s initial lineup announcement. Set for Oct. 19, the event will feature a reunion of the Jacka’s group Mob Figaz, along with a special tribute to the Jacka. Kamaiyah is on the bill too, along with Oakland ambassadors Souls of Mischief, who spent last year touring the globe to celebrate the anniversary of ’93 Til Infinity.
More performances will be announced soon. Throughout the event will be galleries for graffiti, skate photos and Bay Area memorabilia, along with DJ sets, a Women in Hip-Hop Panel hosted by KQED Arts & Culture’s Nastia Voynovskaya, a dance cypher and more.

‘History of the Bay Day’ takes place Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Midway in San Francisco. Details here.
