  • From Dr. Dre to Tampa Streets: Sly's Journey and the Bum Rush Resurrection
    Aug 31 2025
    In this electrifying episode of the No Chaser podcast, host Remy Roe sits down with Pinnacle (aka Sly), G. Gailey, and Shee for a raw, unfiltered conversation about music, legacy, and giving back to their roots in Tampa and St. Petersburg. Pinnacle opens up about his illustrious career working alongside icons like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, The Game, 50 Cent, and Eminem since 2006, emphasizing the importance of returning home to uplift the local scene. He shares how this gathering feels like a family reunion, driven by a sense of responsibility to share success and integrity learned from his Southern upbringing. The trio dives into the resurrection of Bum Rush Records, a label they founded in 2000—now celebrating 25 years. G. Gailey recounts their early days, highlighting Dom G as their first signed artist and the label's history of hosting major shows in the city, even as members pursued separate paths. Despite fizzling out temporarily while Pinnacle chased opportunities in LA and Atlanta, they're now reuniting with fresh energy, pushing Pinnacle to step from behind the scenes into the spotlight. Shee reflects on his own journey as a "day one" member, overcoming personal hurdles like legal troubles to focus on music, teasing upcoming projects tailored for the streets and addressing Florida's music commotion from a unique perspective. The discussion touches on Southern soul as an untapped lane, with Pinnacle carving a distinct path that's resonating deeply. Throughout, themes of loyalty, community, and authentic Southern values shine through, as the guests stress collective wins over individual gains. This episode is a testament to perseverance, cultural pride, and the power of coming full circle, inspiring listeners to root for homegrown talent making waves.
