J STALIN

J Stalin has been a staple of Bay Area since the hyphy heyday in the mid-aughts and he's still going strong.

Bay Area rappers are nothing if not prolific. Too Short and E-40 have both dropped 20+ albums over the course of their careers, and J Stalin, despite being just 28 years old, is right there with him.

Oakland's J. Stalin just released a new album, Tears of Joy, that features Bay Area OGs such as Mistah F.A.B. and the late, great The Jacka. It also contains a booming collab with Riff Raff and Iamsu!: "Real Niggaz Only." 

N.W.A.'s "Dope Man" hangs heavy over the new record from J. Stalin and The World's Freshest, with sporadic stabs of the sample appearing throughout the record.

J. Stalin and The World's Freshest are teaming up once again for Real World 4, and they're bring a couple other OGs along for the ride.

J Stalin and The World's Freshest first joined forces for the Real World LP over a decade ago, and they're still going strong.

Who doesn't love showing love to the area that helped mold them? Every hip hop artist from JAY Z to 2Pac has recorded an ode to their beloved hometowns or the places that have adopted them.

Bay Area MCs, J Stalin and Problem, join forces for this new record "Regal" premiered by XXL today.

Balance links up with Erk Tha Jerk, J Stalin, and Rayven Justice for his new track, "Stroke".
