RBL Posse & The Yee Section - Don't Give Me No Bammer
(From the Splash Bakery YouTube channel; 2026)


Splash Bakery & The Yee Section are back on form this week. First they dropped a Live Performance With Real Instruments™ version of Don't Give Me No Bammer with RBL Posse. Then they dropped a Live Performance With Real Instruments™ version of Intro with DB Tha Geneeal which sounds like it was revamped and restamped by DJ Quik & Robert Bacon. Them Tiny Desk brehs could never.

Stunnaman02 & The Yee Section - Out That Window (live)
(From the Splash Bakery YouTube channel; 2025)


If you're a true NorCalosier then you already know that Out That Window was the song which inspired the "last year I told n*ggas put they guns down" line on Big Steppin'. Plot twist: Stunnaman02 just performed it live with The Yee Section at The Splash Bakery and it hits even harder than the studio version even tho it has no percussion. I've always hated Live Rap With Real Instruments™ and yet here I am jammin' some of these Splash Bakery performances on repeat like they're Jeff & Will at Union Square. My Script has well and truly been flipped.

Plot twist bonus beats: last week Stunnaman02 dropped Out That Window Part 02 with guest vox and production from Seiji Oda.

Seiji Oda & LARussell ft. The Yee Section - Peaceful 2 (live at The Bakery)
(From Splash Bakery channel; 2025)


FFS I guess I officially like live Rap performances with real instruments now. Here's another Splash Bakery performance, this time it's Seiji Oda & LARussell doing Peaceful 2. Tin-eared plebs won't dig these videos, but if yee know, yee know. I wish Uncle Furl was here to do one.

So the Splash Bakery YouTube channel is basically Tiny Desk Concerts but for NorCal Rap fiends, backed by a group called The Yee Section who are legit NorCal Rap fiends themselves (they work with LARussell, Seiji Oda and Lil' Ricefield.) The performances occasionally get a bit too Real Musicians With Real Instruments™ for my liking, but when they do work they genuinely make Slap-Classicos hit different. My fave performances so far are Nef The Pharaoh doing Big Tymin', Seiji Oda doing A Gentle Gigg, DaBoii doing Calvin Cambridge, and this new clip of Richie Rich doing... wait for it... Side Show from the first 415 album! Now that's a Christmas surprise nobody was expecting.

Oi Splash Bakery crew, get E-40 in to perform Flashin'. The Yee Section lads could potentially make that shit sound flambrilliant.

Nef The Pharaoh - Big Tymin' (live at The Bakery)
(From the Splash Bakery channel; 2024)


Excuse two Nef The Pharaoh posts in a row, but, damn, this is a cold Live Instruments Performance™ video of Big Tymin'. Maybe the cheat voce with live performance videos is that they only hit proper if you dump the guys with guitars and grab some AZN musicians from NorCal. Chef's kiss @ the call-and-response during the bridge. "Ballin' like Bibby" on the captioned lyrics tho? I know Bibby had a mixtape song called Ballin', but c'mon now - it's Baby like George Dawes.
