The story

What Is California Schemin’ About?

The premise of California Schemin’ without spoilers.

In the late 1990s, musicians Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd were mocked for their wrong accents, so they reinvented themselves as faux‑Californian rappers. They re‑recorded their songs with fake West‑Coast accents, traveled to London claiming to be an established Cali duo and childhood friends of Eminem. The ruse earned a record deal, a large advance and an MTV slot—until it fell apart.
