Suga-T is one of the first female rappers to emerge from the West Coast and a Bay Area pioneer. Along with her brothers E-40 and D-Shot and their cousin B-Legit, she cofounded The Click and helped put Vallejo on the map. As a teen mother, Suga navigated obstacles in the streets and found her voice as a musician. She went on to make gold and platinum hits, but eventually took a hiatus from rap and went back to earn multiple college degrees. After experiencing domestic violence, Suga became a counselor to other women and coaches them on entrepreneurship, health, and wellness. In addition to writing books, selling beauty products, and working in community organizations, she continues to be active in putting out new music.--For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: info@historyofthebay.com--History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Growing up in Vallejo & family10:01 Musical family14:49 Teen parent24:30 Women in hip-hop46:18 The Click 55:38 Captain Save A Hoe 1:00:08 2pac; San Quinn1:03:52 Sprinkle Me1:08:12 “Game Related” 1:13:45 Hiatus from rap 1:23:01 Domestic violence1:31:32 Entrepeneurship
