The whole tape starts with the above-mentioned Rated X’s regional hit \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EVVaGp6QfQ\">promptly being scraped off the turntable\u003c/a>, and main rapper Kilo G boldly stating “FUCK CRUNCH” after each of his verses, stating “…Crunch has got an attitude / Girls approach him and they find his manner’s plenty rude” — implying that, in reality, the Rated X frontman may not have been so cool to his girls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tape’s centerpiece is “Another Day In EPA,” a long-winded piece of murderous street storytelling that doubles as an early roll call of fellow Village street stars and rappers. Young Mack and K-9, who went on to form \u003ca href=\"https://www.discogs.com/artist/365346-SIC-4\">S.I.C.

Mixed with \u003cem>Ultimate Breaks & Beats\u003c/em> sample staples like James Brown’s “Big Payback” and Esther Williams’ phone-ringing hit “Last Night Changed It All,” the track finds Young Mack cuttin’ town getting “a room at the ‘Cozy'” and later jumpin’ on the “‘Way Way’ to go chill with the n-ggas down in P.A.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUQJ648MMfQ\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4.

Dopestyle seeked to destroy. You can hear his frustration and total defiance on “A N-gga Named Dopestyle,” “gunning meatheads down with vocab,” a “pro-Black n-gga” who “drink(s) Clorox” and whose “shit I write is really Black literature.” This man was a true rogue, full of glorious contradictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxxbFJLfhCg\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5.

As Ad Kapone explains in his second verse, Washington “Jumped out his drop Benz like a Black god / He stepped to me and pulled out a fat-ass wad / He said ‘With this you will kick the gangster shit, Ad’ / I called up Mac-10 and Mac wasn’t even mad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the track’s luxurious gangster flip of Idris Muhammad’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GB2w1J8FyY\">Power Of Soul\u003c/a>” that conjures grandiose images of pyramids in the EPA backstreets, it’s no wonder Totally Insane attained such status in the region, and to this day are held in the highest regard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luOXxmygtOs\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>6.

Before going solo, Chunk was in a group called Reality with \u003ca href=\"https://www.discogs.com/artist/5038924-Doc-Loui\">Doc Loui\u003c/a> and Ad Kapone of Totally Insane. As Ad recently explained in \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/YxGYB18foZ0?si=91YlZiVWdIOGCdIO&t=1279\">a recent interview with Dregs One\u003c/a>, he had to stop making music with them due to the intense rivalry between Midtown and The Ville (Doc Loui was from the latter part of town), with a shootout at the local talent show proving just how heated the funk had gotten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there was ever a hit single from Chunk, “What Waz I To Do?” was it. Busting hardcore lyrics over a smooth \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKFqciMVpI8\">Lonnie Liston Smith sample\u003c/a>, the perfect blend of “street” and “cosmic” is achieved as Chunk runs through the trials and tribulations of growing up in the EPA streets backed by a hopeful soundtrack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrJhFnVjVaY\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>7.

Money Marc, Ad Kapone, Doc Loui & … – Demo Track (1991)\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When first unearthed, this was thought to be a lost track from Totally Insane’s \u003cem>Crazy Shit\u003c/em> album, which was scrapped due to Mike D. Washington passing away. But after a few listens, it became evident that it’s simply another slammin’-ass track that just never saw a proper release, likely recorded not too long after the release of Totally Insane’s classic \u003cem>Direct From The Backstreets\u003c/em>. Found on an old Maxell cassette, it’s being uploaded for the first time here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first MC to bat on this buried gem is Money Marc of \u003ca href=\"https://www.discogs.com/artist/785633-Neva-Legal\">Neva Legal\u003c/a>, a group that didn’t have a proper full-length release until 1998. The track is definitely rough and unfinished, as evidenced by the gritty, slightly slap-backed delay on Ad Kapone’s vocals on the second verse, sonically inconsistent with the other rappers’ sound. Ad slays the track, rhyming “test a ‘G'” with “recipe,” and the third verse features an pre-pubescent sounding Doc Loui rapping about the “first day in my life as a gangster,” during which he robs a local bank with his posse and makes a quick getaway from the cops “cuz they just too slow.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The intro’s impression of then-president George Bush Sr. is comedy gold, claiming that those awful East Palo Alto Guys “are pulling too many jacks, and uhhh selling too many sacks…and it’s just uhhh ruining the nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpN-KWPBc98\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>9.

He then leaves the literal map and crosses into the “cultural and psychosomatic Sonoras of English / exile, into a space Chicana feminists coined ‘The Borderlands’,” summoning the legacy of Chicanx resistance from the 1970s as a model for what he considers sacred to his people’s survival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>López’ inventive language explores the tension between impersonal judicial systems and the brown body. “Misdebeaner” and “Magical Forrealism” delve into these brutalities in unexpectedly playful ways. Then, he surprises you with a piece like “After I take my Shahada,” which looks at his Muslim faith—an unorthodox conversion which he explores in the book, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout it all, there’s a sense of deep responsibility, wholeness and genuine reflection in how López envisions himself, his city and the future “[his] people deserve.” Readers are relentlessly invited into a tapestry of the speaker’s nuanced perspectives. He reflects on immigrant women selling tortillas and vapor rub on street corners, and ruminates on why his father left Mexico. He processes the invisible traumas of elementary school, where white teachers exerted harsh discipline as a form of control over Black and brown students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We became guarded about everything, about how we built relationships with others,” López says. “It taught us how to hustle and how to give back to our own people, but also kept us on our toes. Just being in those classrooms, in the neighborhood, you saw it all. Your friends would get locked up and didn’t show up for basketball practice. You’re 13, 14, so you didn’t understand the world yet.” [aside postid='arts_13900077']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In writing about it all, López is taking responsibility for his past—and his future—by deconstructing the psychic freezes and social punishments he witnessed throughout his life. As a young man, he “lacked the vocabulary” to speak out, he says. Now, years later, López has reached a point where he can not only talk about it, but can leverage his experience to uplift those around him, so that the next generation doesn’t have to endure the same brokenness he felt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>López attended Duke University for undergrad, and later studied abroad as a Marshall Scholar at the University of Cambridge in England for his Masters in Fine Arts. Now, he’s attending Stanford University for his PhD in Modern Thought and Literature. It’s important for him, he says, because Stanford is a place where you might see a Latino from EPA “mowing the lawn or serving food in the cafeteria” but rarely, if ever, enrolled in doctorate courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, López is simultaneously serving a four-year term as an East Palo Alto councilmember from December 2020 to 2024. He wants to make tangible change for his city, not only in his writing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he’s doing what he can to make that a reality. Most recently, he’s advocated for a new library and spoken out against rent increases for residents of a mobile home park. However, there’s been pushback on some of his initiatives. In \u003ca href=\"https://paloaltoonline.com/news/2021/05/28/council-members-attempt-to-fire-city-attorney-met-with-outrage-accusations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an early attempt to replace the city attorney\u003c/a>, he was met with resistance from the mayor and vice mayor. But López says he was only acting out of concern for his city’s betterment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, López knows that his work relies on collaboration with his community and key allies in Silicon Valley, such as the \u003ca href=\"https://chanzuckerberg.com/\">Chan Zuckerberg Initiative\u003c/a>, which donated $100,000 towards East Palo Alto’s summer youth programs. For his part, \u003ci>Gentefication\u003c/i> is merely an opening stanza to his larger vision. [aside postid='arts_13903617']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a gradual transformation and reimagination of health, prosperity, safety and allowing us to advocate in ways we couldn’t dream of because we were so locked into the carceral imagination, to a violent system which locked up my classmates and community in more ways than one,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he owes it to his city and family to make progress, but makes it clear that he does not want to be portrayed as a martyr or “success story.” There is danger in those individualistic narratives: brown kid from the hood makes it out. Instead, he wants to create a sustainable path through his work so that he isn’t a token, but “one out of many” placed in positions to socially thrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have an insatiable desire for knowledge but also community stability. Writing gave me the opportunity to humanize myself when I was a statistic,” he says. “This is for the people who gave me a bed to sleep in, who got to know me in church, who voted for me. I owe it to them to keep persevering. I’m starting this but others will finish it. I might make headlines today for my city, but what about tomorrow? Who will those people be?

As a young man, he “lacked the vocabulary” to speak out, he says. Now, years later, López has reached a point where he can not only talk about it, but can leverage his experience to uplift those around him, so that the next generation doesn’t have to endure the same brokenness he felt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>López attended Duke University for undergrad, and later studied abroad as a Marshall Scholar at the University of Cambridge in England for his Masters in Fine Arts. Now, he’s attending Stanford University for his PhD in Modern Thought and Literature. It’s important for him, he says, because Stanford is a place where you might see a Latino from EPA “mowing the lawn or serving food in the cafeteria” but rarely, if ever, enrolled in doctorate courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, López is simultaneously serving a four-year term as an East Palo Alto councilmember from December 2020 to 2024.

Most recently, he’s advocated for a new library and spoken out against rent increases for residents of a mobile home park. However, there’s been pushback on some of his initiatives.

When he welcomed me into his home, wearing a Kaepernick jersey, he walked me past a showroom-slash-storage room of perfectly lined up skateboards, some battery-powered and some manual. All colorful. A Batman logo on a Batmobile looking board, and the wrapping from \u003cem>Soul Plane\u003c/em> on another. Powell handed me a ginger root beer, gutted a cigarillo and started with his origin story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professionally, Powell does architectural design.

And his earliest memories of creating come from his brother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My older brother Quincy, he was the inventor as a kid,” Powell said, leaning up against the kitchen counter and using scissors to break down some weed. “I ended up being the inventor and he ended up going to the pen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powell, who was raised in East Palo Alto (or “Scrilla-Con Valley,” as he calls it), said his older brother could make anything out of anything. “He’d gut my sister’s dolls and put a motor in them,” he said.

He then sends it to a company that stretches the PVC material, and the individual boards are made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like Build-a-Bear workshop,” said Powell, passing me the herb. “You can order whatever color stickers, and I’ll custom make it, regular or electric…the other part is this: it comes in a kit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I exhaled and then asked: does that mean people can make their own skateboards?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yeah,” Powell exclaimed. “The hobby shops are going to love me!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DIY boards are the lower-end skateboards; he has some that are fully custom made and cost a bit more.

He’s working to get Rick Ross to sign his Maybach one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, he’s sold over a dozen lower-end models and counting. Some of his battery-powered skateboards, which are controlled by handheld remotes, have dual battery packs. He told me the top speed he’s hit is around 25 mph, on his Volkswagen Bus modeled board, which has two motors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I damn near blew his high when I asked if he’s fallen off of his board before. “Potholes!” Powell said, as if identifying the enemy. “You’ve got to really look out, my eyes are always on the move: potholes, doors, everyone else,” said Powell. (One time he fell, “I just popped off the goddamn skateboard and was cussing at these damn Oakland streets. Man, these are some raggedy-ass streets. But they’re starting to get better.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powell’s a fan of the developing system of citywide bike lanes, and sees the need for changes to the traffic system in Oakland. He lives just blocks from where Alma Soraya Vasquez, and her 6 year-old son Angel Garcia-Vasquez were killed during a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Mother-and-7-Year-Old-Son-Dead-After-Hit-and-Run-Collision-508557251.html\">hit-and-run\u003c/a> accident last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powell’s creations are just another push for alternative modes of transportation in the urban arena, an addition to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/pop/103762/electric-scooters-are-changing-the-fabric-of-society-says-twitter\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">flood of electric scooters\u003c/a> and the forthcoming \u003ca href=\"http://www.actransit.org/brt/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">high-speed bus lines\u003c/a>.
