Money B takes us back to Tupac before the fame — when Pac was still coming up around Digital Underground, already commanding every room he walked into, and even wilder than the world would later know.

In this episode of Byron Scott’s Fast Break, Money B shares stories from the early days of Digital Underground, Shock G’s creative genius, Tupac’s first auditions, and the making of “I Get Around.” He also breaks down the group’s legendary Apollo prank, his Bay Area roots, and the crossover between hip-hop and basketball through Jason Kidd, Chris Webber, Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Oakland nightlife, and the NBA stars who came through the Bay.
