In 2019, San Diego rapper Choosey (and producer Exile) dropped one of the best albums of the year with "Black Beans" (via Dirty Science Records). A mix of vintage doo-wop, AM radio oldie samples and Choosey's impeccably smooth flow, the record launched him into the limelight the world over. Naturally, Choosey took home Album of the Year and Artist of the Year at our own 2019 SoundDiego Music Awards and is currently up for Best Hip-Hop or Rap Artist at the 2020 San Diego Music Awards. Be sure to follow him on Twitter and Instagram; and visit his online store at KingChoosey.com, TheDirtyScience.com for news, and his Bandcamp page for more music.

- One of the best events San Diego has to offer is Barrio Logan's annual La Vuelta Festival — here's the SoundDiego TV recap of 2018's fest!

- It's impossible to argue the impact Tupac's "All Eyez on Me" double-album had on the music world (and the world in general). For an eye-opening read on the legendary artist and his discography, read this in-depth Vulture article by Paul Thompson.
- If you haven't heard SWV's huge hit single "Weak" in a while (which Choosey rocks at karaoke), do yourself a favor and check out the video here.
- Lest you doubt Choosey skating abilities, peep his appearance on the Skate Shop Podcast EP1 video, where you can see the man himself in action!
