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.
Up next for the politically-aggressive rapper is a mixtape with Hip Hop legend, DJ Muggs on the Soul Assassins imprint.
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.
