http://www.pushinthebay.com - PTBTV aka Pushin' The Bay EXCLUSIVE! In this exclusive / raw video, Emcee T speaks with Oakland / Bay Area rap legend & veteran, Dru Down.

Dru Down (born Darnel Robinson) is a rapper from Oakland, California. His song "Ice Cream Man" from the album Explicit Game was a minor underground hit but he earned airplay with "Pimp of the Year" (sometimes played with more radio-friendly lyrics under the name "Mack of the Year") from the same album. He also had a minor mainstream hit with the title track of his next album, Can You Feel Me, and he performed with Spice 1, E-40, Richie Rich, Shock G, Yukmouth, The Luniz, and other Bay Area rappers.

He also collaborated with his Bay Area friend 2Pac on "All About You". Dru Down also plays a part in the 1996 movie Original Gangstas (aka Hot City) and in 2001 he released a movie of his own named Hip Hop & Porn Stars. Currently Dru is signed to rapper Yukmouth's Smoke-A-Lot Records and owns his own record label entitled Pimp-On Records. Towards the summer of 2008 he will release his 6th solo effort, Chronicles of a Pimp on Pimp-On/Smoke-A-Lot Records.

Dru Down is a member of The Regime, a large collective of rappers including Yukmouth, Tech N9ne, Messy Marv, BG Bulletwound, Dorasel, Grant Rice, Tha Realest and Gonzoe among others.

Oakland rapper Dru Down debuted in 1994 with Explicit Game, scoring a hit with the single "Mack of the Year"; the record also served as a launching pad for his Bay Area cronies the Luniz. Down returned in 1996 with Can You Feel Me; that same year, he also made his film debut in Original Gangstas. 2001's Pimpin' Phernelia, 2002's Gangsta Pimpin', and 2006's Cash Me Out (with Lee Majors) followed.
