Bucky Dolla Baby

As a youngster, Bucky began his involvement with hip hop during elementary school, rapping with friends, rapping reports in classes. He had discovered his love for music very early on. As the years progressed, he found himself battling, writing, and freestyling everywhere he went and with everything he did. Even though his love for hip hop was strong, his ties to the street kept him from pursuing his passion. It wasn't until he started hanging with Young Team founder Mikey Rivera (aka M-Burb) that he started to take the music thing more seriously. Fast forward to 2007… As the buzz surrounding hip hop in and around the Washington D.C. metropolitan area grew stronger, Bucky became one of the stronger emcees in the area. Representing Young Team (Y.T.), his current crew, and Manassas ("M-City," as he could call it), Bucky began to gain local notoriety . 2008 promises to be a successful year with the release of his first solo project "The Mixed Bag Effect," a collaboration with producer Nfinit3 (also from the Northern Virginia area), as well as his mixtape "Year of the Golden Child," and other Y.T. projects dropping later this year. Keep an eye on this young, rugged, yet soulful emcee as he shines his light upon the current state of hip hop.
