Having already secured a dedicated following, and opening for notable acts such as Devin the Dude, the Cataracts, the Game, People Under the Stairs and Freddie Gibbs. Dred Scott is hardly a newcomer to The bay areas hip hop scene. And, with his refreshing, revivalist approach to purely analog live rap, it’s little wonder how Dred and “the Band” (guitarist Andrew Ramos, drummer Kyle Venezuela, bassist Elijah Kusel saxophonist Josh Ramos) have turned so many heads.   Scott’s flow is fine-tuned and consistent with a lyrical approach more akin to the recent trend of west coast rap like Curren$y and Kendrick Lamar’s Black Hippy crew, than to the gangsta rappers of decades past. With the solid soul/rock grooves of his skilled accompanying band behind him, the result is some infectious hip-hop that’d start you off with a seriously smooth party.
