Cal Ripken is a young MC who simply spits it how he lives. Born and raised May 27th 1985 in Oakland, CA, a graduate of Oakland Tech High School, “Cal” developed a love and passion for music at an early age. Raised in a two-parent household were both parents had their own sense of a "wild side" and "adventure" expressing himself was never a hard thing to do, especially in a profound and creative way. He utilizes his creative ability to rap, produce, and sing while approaching each track with the intention of painting an accurate picture of what he knows first-hand. The stories in his music usually consist of partying, women, and a heavy dose of pretty-boy braggadocio.
With a few years under his belt of being an artist in every facade of the word, Cal has managed to create a style all of his own and can easily gain the ear of his peers and is known by a wide variety of local artists including local DJ’s, promoters, and graphic designers. During his years of putting together his own club events to showcase his own talent, he has also put together an annual toy drive showing his love for his city and his community.
Cal Ripken is a man of many talents, but his focus is his passion for music. He continues to give everything he’s got to come up with good music and tireless performances for his fans, and I don't believe he's don't yet.

"Gillie ain't even see the battle, man," Cassidy said. "It's like, y'all niggas be talking about these niggas. These niggas don't even judge battle rap. I never seen Gillie judging no battle rap before. He ain't even fucking see the battle. He probably just heard a bunch of niggas like, 'Yo, Cass on the stage. People screaming out 3-0. People in the front booing.'
He probably just took it like that ... and just, 'Oh, he lost,'" Cassidy continued. "He didn't even see the battle. He don't know what's going on. He ain't hear none of the bars. It don't even matter what Gil said."

Report via NBC4 New York -- A Connecticut police department says a fugitive has agreed to surrender if enough people respond to an online wanted poster on social media.
Torrington police say 29-year-old Jose Simms, who is believed to be somewhere in New York, has seven arrest warrants and is being sought as a fugitive because he failed to show up for a court appearance.
Lt. Brett Johnson posted on the department's Facebook page on Wednesday that Simms had contacted him through Facebook and agreed to turn himself in if the social post containing his poster gets 15,000 "likes." Johnson says he tried to get Simms to agree to 10,000 "likes" but Simms wanted 20,000 -- so they split the difference.
On Wednesday evening, the Facebook post eclipsed 15,000 likes, but Simms had yet to turn himself in.
The lieutenant described the challenge as difficult but doable.
He also suggested that if anyone knows were Simms is hiding they could let police know and save the department some suspense.
