History of the Bay: Willie Hen

Willie Hen is a San Francisco rapper who is highly respected for his lyricism and authenticity, even without a solo album. Growing up in the Fillmore, he started off as a member of a group called Do Or Die before becoming affiliated with San Quinn and Messy Marv and forming their collective The Network. After a song with producer Tone Capone caught the attention of hip-hop legend Scarface, they became a group along with Young Malice called The Product. One of Willie's verses ended up becoming The Source magazine's Hip-Hop Quotable of the month. Although he continues to put out mixtapes, features, and collaborations, he also transitioned to acting with a role in the film "The Last Black Man In San Francisco."--For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: info@historyofthebay.com--History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Intro02:40 Fillmoe history12:42 Street life17:05 FIllmoe's rap legacy23:47 Early groups28:46 The Network w/ Messy Marv & San Quinn37:43 Done Deal Ent.40:36 The Izm50:07 The Product with Scarface1:04:13 Mac Dre1:10:17 The Last Black Man in San Francisco1:14:34 Solo album?
