Saweetie, P-Lo, release new Bay Area anthem for 49ers fans

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Ahead of the San Francisco 49ers playoff run, hip-hop artists Saweetie and P-Lo released a new song, “Do It For The Bay,” for football fans to rally around.

The “Bay-triotic” song was released on major streaming platforms, including Spotify, this week. Its music video features Bay Area landmarks and 49ers game highlights.

Saweetie, a Santa Clara native and Grammy-nominated singer, said, “I’m excited to share our new 49ers single designed to hype up the team and The Faithful for this playoffs run. Shout out to P-Lo for doing what he does. I love that we were able to collaborate and make something that’s so Bay-triotic, as P-Lo would say.”

Rapper and Pinole native P-Lo said “Do It For The Bay” was made in collaboration with the 49ers team.

“Big thanks to the 49ers for their commitment to bridging sports and Bay Area culture. I’ve been wanting to release music with Saweetie and with both of us being die-hard 49ers fans, this a great opportunity to come together and show our pride for The Bay,” P-Lo said.

Time will tell if “Do It For The Bay” rises to the level of E-40’s “Niner Gang” anthem. Allie Dicken, a 49ers marketing director, said the Bay Area is fortunate enough to have many talented artists in the music industry.

Dicken said, “We’re lucky to be based in a region that is thriving with talent, diversity, and innovation, and excited that Saweetie and P-Lo were able to capture those values in this new anthem for The Bay.”

The 49ers will be on their home turf at Levi’s Stadium Saturday when they face off against the Green Bay Packers. San Francisco (12-5) is the top-seeded team in the NFC division.
