Old Man Cali, the embodiment of perseverance and artistic integrity, shares his remarkable journey from the vibrant streets of Los Angeles to the heart of Sacramento, where his roots run deep and his music echoes the soul of the West Coast.
Born amidst the bustling energy of Los Angeles, Old Man Cali‘s upbringing was a tapestry of cultural influences, with his mother hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, and his father from the storied streets of Harlem, New York. A familial connection to the iconic Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles instilled within him a profound determination to carve out his own legacy and share his family’s narrative with the world.
From an early age, Old Man Cali found solace and expression in the art of battle rap, drawing inspiration from luminaries such as Redman, Snoop Dogg, and X-Raided. Fuelled by an unwavering passion for music, he embarked on a quest to realize his dreams, forging connections with fellow artists such as Tall Cann G and Luni Colione, as he navigated the tumultuous landscape of the music industry.
Yet, at a pivotal moment in his life, Old Man Cali faced a profound choice when he became a father at the age of 21. Opting to prioritize the well-being of his children, he temporarily set aside his musical ambitions to ensure a stable future for his family. Despite the challenges and sacrifices, his dedication to fatherhood remained unwavering, as he worked tirelessly to provide for his loved ones while nurturing his creative spirit.
With both of his children now having graduated from high school, Old Man Cali‘s journey has come full circle, culminating in the realization of his lifelong dream – the upcoming release of his highly anticipated album, “In My Car“. This project serves as a bold response to the challenges faced by artists who embrace the distinctive West Coast sound. Unapologetically authentic, each track on the album embodies the essence of the West Coast, defying expectations and offering listeners an immersive sonic experience. As Old Man Cali declares, “I West triple West Coast on this Album unapologetically. This album is for when you are driving in your car.”
As he prepares to share his story with the world, Old Man Cali invites listeners to join him on a journey of self-discovery, cultural celebration, and unbridled creativity. Through his music, he offers a glimpse into the heart and soul of the West Coast – a vibrant tapestry of diverse experiences, shared dreams, and timeless melodies.
“In My Car” is set to be released on March 1st, 2024, and will be available on all major streaming platforms, offering audiences an opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Old Man Cali’s musical journey.
