Merced To The Bay: GB

Coming out of Merced in the Central Valley, GB aka Getto Boy is putting on for his hometown in a major way. The child of Mexican immigrants, he fell into gang culture but turned his life around during a prison stint when he became a father behind bars. Turning to music to express himself, GB received instant recognition after dropping his first music video. This led to attention from rap fans and labels in Northern California, and he's been dropping music ever since. He also developed his own clothing brand and gained recognition from the city of Merced and California State Assembly for his community philanthropy. But this made him a target for law enforcement, and he was caught up in a massive gang sweep that tried to overshadow his community spirit by defaming his reputation. GB remains resilient and continues to host givebacks and drop new music.--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 Intro02:18 Mexico to Merced06:29 Trump administration08:48 Gang culture13:48 Prison17:03 186.22 gang enhancements20:56 Becoming a father in prison23:02 Starting to rap28:00 Separating the streets from music39:29 Getting targeted by law enforcement51:52 Staying in the community58:14 New projects
