In 1992, the duo Black C and Mr. Cee launched their debut album, RBL Posse's "A Lesson To Be Learned," featuring a powerful intro by Herm Lewis and co-production by T.C. Since then, Herm's 1993 compilation "Trying To Survive In The Ghetto" (featuring RBL and with production by T.C.) continued to cement the legacy of San Francisco hip-hop. T.C. went on to produce on almost every seminal album that came out of the City in the 90s. These three legends discussed their legacy and continued relevance with Dregs One in this special podcast recorded at Brick and Mortar Music Hall in San Francisco on July 27, 2024.
