The word hyphy—short for hyperactive—was first uttered on a song by Oakland rapper Keak Da Sneak. Initially, the slang term didn't mean what it came to represent: that the party was over the top or someone was being extra. As it happens with most slang words, it took on a meaning of its own once the masses got ahold of it. This episode of Remember the Time breaks down the sound and culture that preceded hyphy, from the New Bay sound that led up to the Hyphy Movement, to the songs that came to define the Hyphy sound.

Expect to hear from E-40, Keak Da Sneak, Too $hort, DJ Juice, P-Lo, Clyde Carson of the Team, Sean Kennedy of Moses Music, DJ Big Von, and more.
