Bodega Bamz takes his Latin pride to another level and teams up with French Montana for the remix to his salsa-meets-trap-inspired hit, 'Don Francisco.'
If you thought New York lost its rap edge, think again. Big Apple rhymers Maino, Bodega Bamz, Chinx Drugz, Troy Ave, Mack Wilds and City Boy Dee are reminding naysayers who can really spit bars on the all-star posse cut 'Banned From Radio.'
The rap trio known as the LOX stepped onstage at Webster Hall last night (Dec. 26) to celebrate the release of their 'Trinity' EP with the help of Busta Rhymes, Bodega Bamz and more.
Rumors of New York City rap's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Don't let people like Trinidad James fool you -- there are a plethora of dope acts emerging from the five boroughs and the music scene there couldn't be more exciting or diverse.
When we last saw Bodega Bamz, he was training for a fight in a very gritty atmosphere for his 'Mi Casa' visual. He's came up a little bit since then apparently, as he's wearing a mink in his latest video for 'Don Francisco.'
Despite both referencing and interpolating Boogie Down Productions' '9mm Goes Bang,' Black Dave and Bodega Bamz's 'Wadadaang' isn't just another Golden Age imitation from two "New New York" rappers. Bolstered by blistering bass from Shy Beats, this black boy/tan boy collaboration stays firmly in 2013.
Spanish Harlem, N.Y. spitter Bodega Bamz made some noise last year with his 'Strictly 4 My P.A.P.I.Z.' mixtape and it looks like he's ready to keep it movin' (and then some) with new single/video 'Mi Casa.'
Last week, MTV revealed its list of nominees for the 2013 VMAs. And while there are a few welcome surprises (like Flying Lotus, A-Trak and Janelle Monae), a lot of the categories just feel... same-y. Put it this way: Justin Timberlake and Macklemore, aka your mom's favorite rapper, are up for almost half the awards being presented.
