Bay Area hip-hop is alive and thriving, and P-Lo just brought out two of the region’s biggest icons to prove it. His latest track, Had To, unites the legendary E-40 and Too $hort for a true West Coast anthem.
The song is part of a larger project that P-Lo has been spearheading in collaboration with the Golden State Warriors, aiming to capture the Bay’s deep musical culture. Both E-40 and Too $hort are longtime Warriors fans, and E-40 even flexes his courtside season tickets in his verse. The beat is classic P-Lo—bouncy, bass-heavy, and packed with that signature Bay Area energy.
With these three forces together, Had To is a must-listen for anyone who loves the Bay’s signature sound.
