Sadboy Loko
West Coast rapper Sadboy Loko pulled no punches when spinning his experiences in gang life into his hard-hitting, G-funk-modeled songs. Continuing the drifty, big bass funk sound of classic West Coast gangsta rap, he wove narratives of violent streets, locked-up friends, and a general gangster lifestyle over the course of a series of strong mixtapes and albums like 2012's I'm Still Here. After years of grinding, he linked up with well-known rapper YG for work on his 2016 album Still Brazy and signed to his Universal subsidiary label 4hunnid.
Sadboy Loko was born Mario Hernandez-Pacheco in 1989 and raised in Santa Barbara, California. Despite his hometown's posh reputation, Sadboy grew up in more impoverished neighborhoods and quickly became involved in gang life. He began rapping in the early 2010s and first received notoriety with his 2011 single "I'm Still Here." The song's video eventually racked up millions of views and led to an album of the same name the next year. Other successful singles followed, including "I Want It All," "Take a Ride," and the viral "Gang Signs," whose video grew to be streamed over 30 million times in under two years. Sadboy was featured on two songs for YG's Still Brazy album, and after signing to his label, issued 2016 mixtape The First Ese and 2018 album My Evil Ways. In August of 2018, he was arrested on charges of attempted murder.
