San Diego got a heavy dose of raw underground hip-hop when Coyote—aka The Yotes and DJ Julian Ramirez—touched down at Soda Bar on March 9th. No gimmicks, no fluff—just gritty beats, razor-sharp bars, and real crowd connection. It wasn’t just a show, it was a full-on energy transfer.
From the moment they hit the stage, The Yotes held it down with their signature sound: dusty samples, West Coast flavor, and unapologetic lyricism. Heads were nodding, hands were up, and the room was locked in. Soda Bar, known for giving space to the underground, was the perfect setting—intimate, loud, and full of heads who came for the real.
The Yotes came correct with their signature blend of sharp bars and dusty, soul-laced production—but they weren’t alone. The stage was blessed by a powerful roster of SD’s finest and hosted by Kahlee:
🎤 Savage The 3rd brought that unfiltered aggression and presence that shook the room.
🎤 Banish Habitual delivered calculated chaos with every verse—razor-sharp, no filler.
🎤 Ric Scales had the crowd in the palm of his hand, spitting truths with charisma and punch.
🎤 Sham Blak came through with that slick wordplay and veteran confidence.
🎤 Mantis flipped flows with surgical precision, giving the heads what they came for.
🎧 And holding it all down behind the decks was the one and only DJ Syko, cutting through vinyl and setting the tone like only a true selector can.
The vibe? Unfiltered. The energy? Off the chain. The message? Stay true, stay hungry, and always rep the culture.
