Bambu

Bambu, from the city of Los Angeles, has been making his mark on the Hip Hop scene for almost a decade. His first album, self untitled… first saw the light of day on the 10-year anniversary of the LA Rebellion of 1992 and the climb has been forward since. Soon after releasing that first LP, Bambu joined fellow Los Angeles emcee, Kiwi and Bay Area transplant, DJ Phatrick to create the now defunct, Native Guns group. After the disbanding of the group, DJ Phatrick and Bambu continued to do shows around the country and eventually built a reputation as strong live performers. Bambu dropped his follow up solo album, …i scream bars for the children… in 2007 and …exact change… in 2008. His latest project, “…paper cuts…” dropped at the end of February, 2010 and has definitely solidified the emcee as on of Los Angeles’ best.

In the Fall of 2010, Bambu, through Soul Assassins, released the Los Angeles, Philippines mixtape with the legendary DJ Muggs (Cypress Hill). Before the calendar shifted into 2011, the mixtape had already hit over 100,000 downloads and was featured on every major blog internationally. Up next for Bambu is the re-release of his 3rd full-length LP, …exact change… with a bonus disc entitled, (short changed). The re-mastered album is slated for a late April 2011 release. In addition to music, Bambu spends his days with his family and out in the community organizing with People’s CORE and Kabataang maka-Bayan, Pro-People Youth.
