Laydbac a.k.a the Rarebreed…I know, who? .let me say it for you again……..Laydbac the Rarebreed! With his variety of styles of tracks and unique sounds Laydbac who is one of the next rare trendsetting producers/lyricist to enter the game. Laydbac was born and raised in The Bay, in the mid 70’s. As Rap as an art form grew up so did Layback. He began writing poetry at the age of 12, the same year some of the most classic rap albums of all time dropped, Boogie Down Productions dropped “By All Means Necessary”, NWA “Straight Out of Compton”, and EPMD “Strictly Business” to name a few. Laydbac’s writing naturally progressed into rapping. Not completely captured by the mic, Laydbac was more so fascinated with the composition of the track. They key to the whole song, the claps, 8 0 8 kicks, hi hats and tight baselines intrigued Laydbac. This new emerging sound in music paired with his already great appreciation for the oldies but goodies that his parents listened to: Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Bootsy Collins, The O’Jays, and the Whispers...solidified music as the central part of his life, carrying him through many hard times. Growing up in the Bay Area (Oakland, Richmond and Hercules) was difficult for Laydbac. In 1990 his mother and stepfather separated, shortly after the separation his stepfather, the only father he knew passed away. Left to be the man of the house with 3 younger siblings, his mother working full time and going to school, Laydbac went on to graduate high school and attended jr. college for a couple of years. All the while waiting to focus all of his energy on the one thing he wanted to do most, make music. In the late 90’s Laydbac hustled up some equipment and started creating beats. His brother Sean Scott a.k.a Seany-Bo (R.I.P) was already known around the neighborhood for his vicious flows knew Laydbac’s beats were hot so the brothers started to work together. Seany-Bo was the motivation Laydbac needed and the chemistry between the 2 on tape was unbelievable. Unfortunately it proved difficult to get anything done, and turn out tracks. Unable to keep his brother in the studio on a consistent basis Laydbac was also trying to push a group of friends by the name “C.M.A Cell-Mate Affiliates”. The project never caught the buzz they wanted. In December of 2005 after the unfortunate shooting of his brother Seany-Bo, his muse, it was then Laydbac thought he was done with music. In 2006, after a move to a new neighborhood Laydbac met a former local artist, Sneak-Bo. Taking the similarity in names to his brothers as a sign, Laydbac gave Sneak-Bo a copy of his music to listen to. Sneak was impressed and they both decided they wanted to start a record label. The initial venture failed, but Laydbac was determined not to give up this time. He started investing in more music equipment and it was then decided that Laydbac and Sneak-Bo would become a group. With Laydbac behind the tracks laying lyrics would be nothing…..I mean a breeze. Unfortunately once again things did not go accordingly. Laydbac experience difficulties with Sneak-Bo recording the album “The Rap Game” which was supposed to be released this year. Now really frustrated, Laydbac decided to add 2 more members to the group, which now includes………Leather Face, Lil Reezy, Sneak-Bo and Laydbac. It was then at this point Laydbac wanted to separate himself as a producer and being a lyricist. So as a producer he would go by Rarebreed and Laydbac for his stage name. Now with the new album just about completed, under going the final production stage, Laydbac now has the chance to focus on his album. “The group thing ain’t me…” spoken in a mild manner tone by Laydbac. “I had to fit too much with other peoples styles that wasn’t my style.......It’s just not the style I was leaning towards. So my solo album will be me.” With that being said now a new beginning begins…………..Welcome to the World of a Rarebreed.
