Part of the early-'90s explosion of Latin rap, Lighter Shade of Brown (LSOB) was formed in Riverside, CA, in 1990, when the teenage ODM (One Dope Mexican, born Robert Gutierrez) was introduced to DTTX (Don't Try to Xerox, born Bobby Ramirez). The duo began cutting demos and secured a record deal within the year; they debuted with 1990's Brown and Proud for Quality Records hip-hop subsidiary Pump. Though they didn't break out on the level of Cypress Hill, the group garnered some positive reviews and established themselves as one of the better Latin rap outfits around. The follow-up, Hip Hop Locos, was released in 1992, and helped LSOB land a major-label shot with Mercury, where they contributed to the soundtracks of the Latino-oriented films Mi Vida Loca and I Like It Like That. 1994's full-length Layin' in the Cut proved disappointing, however, and the disillusioned partners took a temporary break from the music business. They returned in 1997 on Oakland's much smaller Thump Records (in partnership with the Greenside label), issuing a self-titled album with guests including Rappin' 4-Tay and Tony! Toni! Toné!'s Dwayne Wiggins. Thump released a greatest-hits collection in 1999, and their fifth album, If You Could See Inside Me, followed, producing a minor hit single in "Sunny Day." In late 1999, Gutierrez became a radio DJ in the Los Angeles area.

Then we'd pass the blunt around and my grandpa and uncle would always get the guitar . We'd sing all night then go back to playing the jams from the stereo .

[@PSTA]

I was 12! I was dreaming of bumping this in my lolo! That dream came true when I always 20 and been doing it ever since!!

Still Bumping 2021, this song will never get old . Relaxing Vibes 🔥🔥

[@eleeshalopez8122]

My sister just sent this to me today bringing me tears glad I was part of this era ❤

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

I discovered LSOB in the summer of 94. I had to be 9. I already listened to rap, but I never felt it was “cool” until I discovered these guys. It’s almost been 30 years and I still play Hey DJ all the time. You can’t beat this. You just can’t. It makes me feel terrible what rap has evolved into.

[@thecaddie6260]

I was 19 when this came out, still sounds smooth now in 2022 ❤️👍

[@BohemianRhapsody324]

I love this song! ❤️ 2024..... What has happened to our music? I am currently 45 years old and dearly miss the 90's ..... I would give just about anything to go back just for one day...... Just one day 🙏😢

Brings back memories! Driving back to LA coming from San Diego after a day at the beach 🔥

[@trifeloco]

Never heard this until today. I was born in L.A. but raised in NY and I always felt Cali took the torch and kept it going with hip hop ever since the early days. The accents and the locations were the only differences, but Cali kept the true essence of hip hop culture alive.

[@user-ut7uc4rk7v]

💥Lighter Shade of Brown are Puerto Ricans not Mexican

[@trifeloco]

@@user-ut7uc4rk7v Oh ok I didn't know that, but they are based out of L.A. regardless.

[@brianortiz9690]

[@brodywhiteshoes]

[@jpowell2603]

I was 17yrs old in 1991 and this song was my shit! I miss the 90s 😢😭

[@mightychihuahua9149]

This song will never get old

[@raymondlucero4999]

Always enjoyed LSOB's music. Grew up listen to them and hearing this song brings back so many good memories. Although was sadden to hear of Lil homies passing. Even though ive no doubt that he will continue to bring smiles and joy to the masses. RIP LIL HOMIE.

[@oldschoolhiphop2275]

I definitely remember this song. The lady singing the hook brought back memories with the graffiti overalls. I had a couple pair back in the 7th grade.

[@RJLBC562]

I remember growing up in Long Beach, CA hearing this as a kid. Still a vibe all these years later. Makes me miss home. This will forever remind me of summers in California 🥹🥹🥹..makes me want to cry thinking about those times.

[@louisrios5325]

[@marlonromero9385]
