Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on March 11, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Andre Nickatina! From Dre Dog to Bay Area legend, you've ridden beats smoother than a Cadillac cruising down Mission Street since 1993. Your gritty lyrics and electrifying flow made tracks like "Ayo for Yayo" and albums such as "I Hate You With a Passion" timeless classics—proof that good rap ages better than fine wine (and certainly better than our dance moves!).

Whether you're keeping it underground or making waves nationwide, your relentless authenticity keeps fans hooked year after year. May this birthday bring you more microphones conquered, killer rhymes delivered—and fewer people mistaking your alias for an actual canine rapper! Keep on grinding; the world needs more Nickatina flavor!
