The Baka Boyz were originally DJs in Bakersfield, before moving south to Los Angeles. They first began at Power 106 in 1992 with their show creation, "Friday Nite Flavas". They also developed Power's live mixing "World Famous Roll Call".
Their popularity prompted the station to give them the morning drive time show, which earned high ratings. and afternoon. They hosted wake-ups at Power 106 for seven years. But the duo grew disaffected with Power's move to a more R&B sound, at the expense of hip-hop. So they resigned from KPWR.

They are hosts of the nationally syndicated "Hip Hop Master Mix", broadcast on over fifty stations in the U.S. Finally, the Baka Boyz acted as talent scouts, discovering future LA radio star Big Boy, Dj Eman and Tito among others. In addition, they have also produced tracks for various artists. They produced and co-wrote the track "Scandalous" by Psycho Realm on the 1994 Mi Vida Loca original motion picture soundtrack, "Pistol Grip Pump" by Project Blowed rapper Volume 10, and other tracks.
The Vidals relocated to WMIB The Beat 103.5 in Miami in March 2003 as the station's morning hosts. But by 2005 The Baka Boyz returned to Los Angeles to do afternoon hosting at 93.5 KDAY. They were there until May 2007, when the Baka Boyz moved to Blazin' 98.9 in San Diego to do their morning show there.
