After years spent toling in the Bay Area underground, David “Mochipet” Wang has assembled his biggest release to date.
Microphonepet, which Mochipet is releasing via his Daly City Records on April 1, incorporates dozens of West Coast players. The lineup ranges from well-known rap stars such as Opio and Casual from Hieroglyphics and Bicasso from Living Legends to regional heroes such as Rashaan Ahmad from Crown City Rockers and Eriksolo from Meanest Man Contest.
