Bay Area rap history circa 92 – one of the earliest Peanut Butter Wolf related productions before he  was called Peanut Butter Wolf (PBW) was in 1992 when a young (pre Charizma affiliated) “Chris Cut” was doing engineering production for The Siggnett Posse from San Jose. In the video above DJ Marz talks about getting the crew’s tape back in the day that also had a vinyl release. Marz also recalls many legendary Bay rap spots in the reminisce clip that should make ol skool Bay fools smile in recognition. As far as the music (all good) among my faves is the opening song on Side A of the tape “Get Right To It (J-Wa nz + D-Flat)” which has a a funky distinctly Bay Area sound (a little APG and a little RBL sounding), The release was on Both Sides of the Bay label. It was recorded in Venus Studio San Jose. Talking with PBW recently he recalled that, “the lead MC from the group was the nephew of the lead singer of the Village People.” And will there ever be a Siggnett Posse reunion with PBW in the mix? Anything is possible. Start a FB petition and make it happen.
