Hailing from the Central Coast town of Seaside, Stretch has played an integral role in the Bay Area music industry for decades. Starting out as a co-founder of a local record label and music store owner, Stretch began booking Bay rappers to perform in his hometown. One of those was the legendary Mac Dre, who tapped Stretch to help him run Thizz Entertainment and get Thizz Nation off the ground. After Dre's passing, Stretch worked with Mistah Fab and the spin-off companies Town Thizzness and Thizz City. From there, Stretch became a partner of SMC Recording's Will Bronson and co-founded Active Management. He has managed some of the Bay Area's greatest talents including Erk Tha Jerk, Kreayshawn, D-Lo, HBK Gang, Sage The Gemini, SOBxRBE, 24kGoldn, and more. -- Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LakWtJCx6ho -- Follow Dregs One: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlA Instagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_one TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_one Twitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_one Facebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone415 -- Produced by DEO @deo415 -- Videography by @mvp_kingced -- Sponsored by Amoeba Music, San Francisco @amoebasf Clothing and graffiti supplies from @dyingbreedsf available at 3045 24th Street, San Francisco or https://www.dyingbreedsf.com --- “History of the Bay” theme song: https://songwhip.com/dregsone/history-of-the-bay History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aa --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/historyofthebay/support
