Bay Area Rap Avengers 1 Umbrella Reveals Tracklist For 1 Umbrella Album, Coming February 6th via EMPIRE

Oakland’s ALLBLACK and 22nd Jim Joined Forces With SF’s Lil Bean, ZayBang, and Lil Yee to Form The Region’s Hottest New Rap Group

Home to Recent Singles “Baller Blockin” and “The Blueprint” ft. DaBoii, the Upcoming 1 Umbrella Album Looks to Unite the Bay Behind Positive Energy, Outlandish Flexes, and Heartfelt Street Music

Additional Guests Include Larry June, DaBoii, Rexx Life Raj and 1100 Himself

Critical Praise:

“We here at POW are absolute suckers for a good crew cut, and this one checks every box. Staying in the Bay, anchored by a Keak Da Sneak sample, the record assembles six rappers with shared geography but wildly different approaches, all tearing through a beat built on creeping bells and forward motion. The energy feels jet-fueled, verses piling up with barely a pause to breathe.” – Passion of the Weiss

The Announcement:

This year, five of the Bay Area’s hottest emcees united to form 1 Umbrella, a new supergroup primed to dominate the region’s rap scene in 2026 and beyond. Today, the NorCal fab five–ALLBLACK, Lil Bean, 22nd Jim, ZayBang & Lil Yee–reveal the tracklist for 1 Umbrella, their upcoming album, now available for pre-order. 1 Umbrella spans15 tracks, including recent singles  “The Blueprint” ft. DaBoii and the Passion of the Weiss-praised “Baller Blockin,” leaving plenty of space for the five rappers to shine together and separately.

The newly-formed crew expand the tent even further on the upcoming project, welcoming even more excellent Bay Area emcees for guest appearances. Vallejo’s DaBoii, formerly of SOB x RBE, is the honorary sixth member, making three separate guest appearances on the album. Additional guests include ultra-chill SF heavy hitter Larry June, Berkeley melodic mastermind Rexx Life Raj, and East Oakland raconteur 1100 Himself. 1 Umbrella prepares to release 1 Umbrella, their debut album, on February 6th via EMPIRE.

All five 1 Umbrella rappers are among the most respected artists in the Bay, with long track records of success and a history of fiery collaborations. ALLBLACK and 22nd Jim hail from the same neighborhood in Oakland, while ZayBang, Lil Bean, and Lil Yee hail from across the bridge, in San Francisco, a city with a rich, if less-heralded, hip-hop history than its East Bay cousin. The fearsome fivesome’s styles complement each other: ALLBLACK’s fierce motivational exhortations are counter-balanced by the melodic pain music favored by Lil Bean and Lil Yee, while 22nd Jim’s laid-back demeanor is a cucumber-cool Yin to ZayBang’s energetic, raspy Yang.

Assembling like The Avengers, 1 Umbrella represents for California at a time when the culture shines a spotlight on the region, with the Super Bowl on February 8th and NBA All-Star Weekend in neighboring L.A. the following weekend. Stay tuned for much more from the new group
