Coming out of Oakland during the mid-’90s, the WhoRidas represented a new generation of hip-hop: hard but intelligent, musical but still deeply funky. Cousins King Saan (Chop Black) and Mr. Taylor began freestyling together, and after King Saan made an appearance on his older brother Saafir’s 1994 debut album, Boxcar Sessions, the WhoRidas began recording. Their first single, “Shot Callin’ & Big Ballin’,” sold 15,000 copies out of the back of their car, and with the help of Saafirthe pair signed to Delicious Vinyl. With the help of their production crew, Hobo Junction, the WhoRidas released their debut album, Whoridin’, in August 1997; the follow-up, Hightimes, appeared in 1999.
The Whoridas were the most hardcore rap group Delicious Vinyl had signed to date, spawned three memorable hit singles, “Talkin’ Bout Bank”, “Shot Callin’, Big Ballin'” and “Taxin’.”
Spitting gritty rhymes over trunk-rattling basslines, the pair celebrated the Bay Area past-times of fly rides, smokey highs, and how to get money (not forgetting “Down On My Luck” their can-collecting ode to being broke). WhoRidas second album, High Times, appeared in 1999, honing further their intriguing combination of sobering insights and wild partying, menace and humor. On “Godfather” (a gem featuring Xzibit) King Saan put his enemies “in hot water like lobsters/ smoking choppers after pasta”. After that album’s release King Saan adopted the name Chop Black and relocated to L.A. to go solo, although lately there’s been serious talk that a WhoRidas reunion is in the cards..
