    Rodney O and Brother Marquis had a group called "Caution Crew" back around in 1983. One of the first West Coast rap groups.

    First heard "Everlasting Bass" on KDAY... and had it on a Roadium mixtape with so many other great songs of the time. When I tell you "Everlasting Bass" is in my top 5 West Coast songs, believe it. I will run it back each and every time I hear it. Peace to Rodney O, Joe Cooley, and RIP General Jeff. Yeaaaaaaah, boy!

    As soon as I heard "Like That" it took me back to Rodney O. & Joe Cooley. I never knew Joe Cooley was from Compton either. I always thought L.A. It's good to see a West Coast pioneer still with us. 💪🏾 He was definitely being played in Detroit.💯

    The Late Great DJ Cameron Paul broke Rodney O and Joe Cooley in the Bay Area back in the day. He used to mix a lot of their jams in his mixes on record/radio and in the clubs. Rodney O and Joe Cooley were huge in the Bay Area. Cameron Paul was my first introduction to these guys.

    You must be from the 90's era. Riverside and Rubidoux area. I'm having trouble remember the clubs, that were off of Chicago in Riverside and the other around the corner off of University Ave. right next to Baker's
