The Bay Area music scene has always been one of the best. From the slang to the 808s, it is by far one of the livest, most unique around.
This week’s Indie Pick of the Week, Caleborate, doesn’t have the typical Bay Area sound but adds to the scene with a more conscious but still exhilarating, witty style that represents the new Bay sound very well.
“I just wanna bring my style forward and bring originality because I feel that’s gonna push the whole scene forward,” he said. “So, the way I do it is to tell my story the best way possible.”
Caleborate’s parents divorced during his teenage years, so he would frequently travel on the Amtrak back and forth to visit them both. On the train he did a lot of thinking and reflecting as well as writing.
“I think that I became an artist just through that,” he said. “I listened to a lot of music, read a lot of books through that traveling and became in touch with myself.”
His intellect comes across in his music with a very pure flow that speaks for itself. On all his songs he talks about experiences he’s been through or ambitions and things he plans on accomplishing.
Growing up listening to Lil Wayne in his prime years, Caleborate found the motivation from Wayne’s ’08 flow to fuel his newest song “08 [Carter Flow]” produced by fellow Bay Areaens, Kuya Beats and P-Lo.
“Everybody remembers 2008 when Wayne had the game on fire and the way he was just going and pushing himself to another level,” he exclaimed. “So, this record is like me pushing myself to the next level and really trying to harness that.”
Listen to the “08 [Carter Flow]” below:
The production on that track fittingly reminds me of Wayne’s “Let The Beat Build.” “08 [Carter Flow]” will be on his upcoming project 1993 dropping in July.
Aside from Weezy, one person Caleborate would like to collaborate with is J. Cole and is really appreciative of his artistry.
“If I ever got the chance to work with him I might shed a tear —a thug tear for sure,” he jokingly said. “He’s just really historic, his vibe and content have really helped me as a person and an artist.”
Caleborate is still growing as an artist and heavily expressed his emotions of feeling blessed to have the people he has around him to help him grow. Some major influencers in his life are his manager Coach Nick, G-Eazy, Kuya Beats and P-Lo.
