Unless you’ve padding your vision with regional bias, you already know that the Bay Area is mustering up a substantial movement for the masses to get familiar with their faces. Up next to objectify us with his IQ his the self-proclaimed “hood nerd,” Erk Tha Jerk. Quietly planning his attack in the form of EP’s and prominent guest appearances, he feels it’s time the game sees things from his telescopic sights, a Nerd’s Eye View to be exact. Dropping November 9th, the debut disc from the Richmond Cali representer may be the dose of realism the people can relate to.
Don’t believe me? Peep the video to “Anything,” and see if ETJ doesn’t have the same aspirations as you.
Bonus: If you can’t trust in yourself, who else can you believe in?

Download – Erk Tha Jerk – “I Know”


Love this guy. Pretty sure he did that awesome, awesome beat for the kids turfing or whatever on Oakland corners. I had to make that shit my ringtone it was so good.
Beat spaced my face.
Relaxation
I’m not really fucking with this, musically or visually, atm.
Downloaded this dudes mixtape last week and I must say that I was impressed. The Bay is crackin’!!! I like going here for may Bay updates:

Im from the Bay and and this dude is dope. Im glad the hyphy movement is dead tho lol.
Ya Boy, Clyde Carson and Erk tha Jerk are the three bay cats to check for.
Right Here is another gem by ETJ [www.youtube.com]
Dope. 2011 = Cali’s takeover
Always good to hear some new Erk. Flea that site (thizzler on the roof) is definitely the best site to check for Bay Area music, they cover the whole range of what we have to offer.
Anyone listening to the new Lyrics Born album??
Nice, but the instrumental is sooo Slum Village ish circa Dilla days, complete with the Dwele sound alike sanga at the end
