Still, ...

Kehlani, Lil B, G-Eazy, Iamsu!, and P-Lo just made an anthem for the Bay Area on "Champion." The popularity of the Bay has been rising since the Golden State Warriors took the NBA Championship for the 2014-2015 season. The Warriors won their first NBA championship in 40 years so its pretty appropriate that a song called "Champion" comes out...
