Louie Loc: Working w/ Mac Dre & Suga Free, Getting Named By Cougnut, Goldtoes & 17 Reasons

History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 46: Louie Loc came up as one of the few Latino rappers from San Francisco in the 1990s. At 16, he was discovered by Goldtoes and made his debut on the classic compilation "17 Reasons," featuring on the song "Black N Brown" with JT The Bigga Figga. Louie got his name from the San Francisco legend Cougnut and appeared on tracks with legends like Mac Dre, Suga Free, The Jacka and many more. After losing his best friend in a car accident, he took a long hiatus from music but is now back and hungrier than ever.
