Indee500: Turning Tragedy into Timeless Bay Area Hip-Hop

Some artists make music; others make history. Indee500, the Richmond, CA rapper, is doing both—dropping powerful, street-certified records despite being incarcerated until 2026. His latest work is nothing short of remarkable, a testament to resilience, loss, and the undying spirit of Bay Area hip-hop.

From “Out the Furnace” to the Streets

Indee500 has been on a heater, and his fans are feeling every bit of the heat. On January 5, 2025, he released his latest album, “Out the Furnace,” exclusively on his label’s website, VippedUp.com. This project isn’t just another rap album—it’s a raw, unfiltered look into his journey, marked by triumphs and tragedy.

Three years ago, on March 12, 2022, Indee500’s life took a tragic turn when he was involved in a fatal accident at the i80/i880/i680 freeway junction (The Maze). The crash claimed the life of a dear friend, and since then, Indee has been serving time. But rather than letting the walls define him, his music has continued to reach the streets, thanks to his team, who are making sure his voice stays loud.

A Heavyweight Lineup of Bay Area Royalty

Indee500’s first digital single from Out the Furnace, “First Class Flight,” dropped on January 7 and featured Keak Da Sneak and Harm from da Rich—two names that Bay Area hip-hop heads know and respect.

• Keak Da Sneak, the legend behind the Hyphy anthem “Tell Me When to Go” with E-40, brings his unmistakable, raspy delivery.

• Harm from da Rich, known as the “Hook King of the Bay,” does what he does best—delivering a soulful, melodic chorus while also producing the track.

Harm’s deep Bay Area roots include collaborations with Mac Dre (“I’ve Been Down”), E-40, Scarface, The Luniz, Mistah F.A.B, C-Bo, and more. His presence on First Class Flight sets the tone for a project drenched in Bay Area authenticity.

New Drops: Indee500 Keeps the Momentum Going

Indee500 isn’t stopping. The next wave of music includes:

🔥 “Colorblind” feat. Mistah F.A.B & Harm from da Rich – Dropping March 7

🔥 “Hollywood Starz” feat. Glasses Malone – A track bridging the Bay with LA street rap

These collaborations prove that Indee500 isn’t just making music—he’s solidifying his place in West Coast hip-hop.

The Legacy Continues

Despite his current situation, Indee500’s music is still moving the culture. His gritty storytelling, real-life experiences, and all-star features make his catalog one to watch. While 2026 might be the year he steps back into the free world, his music is already out here making noise.
