The Baka Boyz
The Baka Boyz, brothers Nick and Eric Vidal, are American radio personalities, music producers and remixers from Bakersfield, California. The duo first achieved fame on the hip-hop/R&B radio station KPWR (Power 106 FM) in Los Angeles.
Background
The Baka Boyz were originally DJs in Bakersfield, California, before moving south to Los Angeles. They first began at Power 106 in 1992 with their show creation, "Friday Nite Flavas". They also developed Power's live mixing "World Famous Roll Call". After achieving high ratings in the morning and afternoon slots at Power for seven years, the duo grew disaffected with Power's move to R&B, at the expense of hip-hop, and left. Shortly after leaving Power 106 in 1999, the duo briefly had an afternoon show on KKBT. Later, they decided to move north to KMEL in San Francisco. They are hosts of the nationally syndicated "Hip Hop Master Mix", broadcast on over fifty stations nationwide. Finally, the Baka Boyz acted as talent scouts, discovering future LA radio star Big Boy, among others. In addition, they have also produced tracks for various artists. They produced and co-wrote the track "Scandalous" by Psycho Realm on the 1994 Mi Vida Loca original motion picture soundtrack, "Pistol Grip Pump" by Project Blowed rapper Volume 10, and other tracks.

One Minute
by: The BoyzVerse 1:
It was just another night ... daylight wake uo go through the next day
Will you survive you don'T knkow so you really gotta pay
Down in the hood the rules of the streets are dark
Times arehard you don't know where to start
First be real to our woman treach her like a ladycause there's so much you
Better now know before you leave a crack baby
Way to hell or paradise now who decides you lived your life in a fast lane
Now you pay the prize
Chorus:
In the night ... in the dark
There are shadows in my heart
Feel this pain which is driving me incredibly insane
In the mirror of the streest there's so much fo you to see
Just one minute ton think about your life
Verse 2:
Now you sittin' layback straitjackets handcffs all around
Waiting for a scecond chance just to get back to downtown
The ghetto didn't seem so though
I tell ya that is outlaws livin' thjeir lives as drug addicted kids
It's wordwide cash rules the things around me
There's someone outside who still lives ya it's your own family
You're just a victim of the streets slipped down like a hurricane
I told you take a minute to erase the pain
Chorus (3x):
In the night ... in the dark
There are shadows in my heart
Feel this pain which is driving me incredibly insane
In the mirror of the streest there's so much fo you to see
Just one minute ton think about your life
(Backround)
Look into the darkness
The way of loneliness
Look into the darkness
