Tamalpais and the curling waves of the coast you can take a walk into Sol Doc s reality through the mindful lyrical content and positive messages he exhibits. Goers is a producer based out of Oakland but raised in Marin. He has been creating music for over a decade and has created his own little niche of California Hip Hop through mixing the Bay Area Hip Hop he was raised on and the styles of his producer icons Oddisee, 9thWonder, Black Milk and of course J Dilla.
