In the mid-2000’s a sound emerged out of the Bay Area that would overtake the sonic landscape of hip-hop for a brief but impactful period showcasing not only the music, but also the overall culture of the Bay Area. A culture that changed the way the hip-hop nation danced, dressed, spoke, and even drove their cars. The Lil Jon produced, E-40 helmed smash “Tell Me When to Go” accurately summed up the surface of the Hyphy movement as a music and culture, but the origin is much deeper. Without the independent nature of the Bay Area, Hyphy could have never existed. In Remember the Time: The Hyphy Movement, we take a deep dive into a subgenre, a movement, a culture that though short lived, still permeates across the globe to this very day, influencing some of today’s top performers.Join host, Branden J. Peters—veteran creative and California native— who has documented music, sports, and pop culture for over two decades, as he speaks with artists, executives, dancers and journalists about the impact of the Hyphy Movement.

The Bay Area dances a little different. More than music, Hyphy is described as a movement for a reason: it involved one’s mind, body and soul. Episode 3: Taking Up Room on the Floor explores the dance culture of the bay area that helped visualize the Hyphy Movement. Born from the 1960s and 1970s funk scene in Oakland, the free-flowing and hard-hitting dance style known as Boogaloo has evolved into styles like pop and locking and T.U.R.F. dancing, which is still popular in the Bay Area to this day. With breaking (aka break dancing) entering the Olympics in 2024 and events like Red Bull Dance Your Style, T.U.R.F. dancing has kept a visual element of the Hyphy Movement-era alive. Expect to hear from rapper Too $hort, graffiti artist and rapper Dregs One, Jeriel Bey; who coined the acronym and meaning for T.U.R.F. dancing, Ice Cold 3000 of the Turfeinz crew, Johnny5; founder of TURFInc, Thizz Nation photographer D-Ray, organizers from the community space Youth Uprising and more.For more Hyphy music, check out the playlist curated by host Branden LSK.
