Description
"Bitch, I'm from Vallejo," Nef The Pharoah raps on the chorus of his 2014 song of the same name. But you'd be able to guess his hometown even if he hadn't spelled it out so explicitly. Signed to E-40's Sic-Wid-It label, Nef is featured on 40 Water's ode to the North Bay, "707." And he's clearly influenced by the man who put the Valley-Joe on the map--Mac Dre. You can definitely hear the late Boss Tycoon in the young Nef's delivery, which is languid, laced with absurdist similes, and often to stretched-out, over-annunciated and capped off with an ascendant, uptalk pitch.
