Why does Stanford attract rappers? I can't think of any rappers from Cal, but I can think of at least three rappers who graduated from Stanford:

- Jidenna ("Classic Man") http://www.stanforddaily.com/2015/05/03/blackfest-2015-jidenna/

- Ahmad ("Back in the Day") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmad_(rapper)

- Tajai (Souls of Mischief) Interestingly, Tajai's mother worked in the Cal administration when he was accepted to Stanford.

Who do we have besides Loggy?

See his/their Twitter account. It looks like they're still doing the music thang.

Face it, folks, Stanford just has that gritty, street vibe that we'll never have.
