BABY BASH BIO
Baby Bash's first album was Tha Smokin' Nephew in 2003, which included the hit singles "Suga Suga" and "Shorty Doowop". In 2005, Super Saucy was released, its lead single being "Baby I'm Back", a collaboration with singer Akon. Cyclone followed in 2007, with its title single featuring T-Pain and its follow-up, "What Is It" featuring Sean Kingston, being hits on the Billboard charts as well.
He has also contributed
frequently to other performers' works, including a spot in the song "Obsession
(No Es Amor)" by Frankie J in 2005,
"Doing Too Much" by Paula DeAnda in 2006, as well as on "Do It
Daddy" by Doll-E Girl in 2007.
Baby Bash's career began to rise when he went to Houston, Texas, where he met
fellow rapper South Park Mexican. Thus, he decided to re-locate there. Prior
to his success as a solo artist he, under the name "Baby Beesh", was
part of rap groups Potna Deuce and Latino Velvet.[5] Bash's debut album entitled
Savage Dreams was released on the independent label Dope House Records in 2001[2].
The acclaim he received soon caught the attention of Universal Records, who
signed him later that year. In 2003, Baby Bash released his first album on a
major label, Tha Smokin' Nephew, and Super Saucy in 2005. He recently was featured
in Paula DeAnda's first single "Doin' Too Much" from his debut album
Paula DeAnda. He has collaborated with numerous other artists during his career,
such as West Coast rappers B-Legit, C-Bo, Coolio, E-40[6] and Mac Dre, R&B
singers like Akon, Avant, Natalie, and Nate Dogg[4], and other Latino rappers
such as Fat Joe, Doll-E Girl, Frost[6], and Pitbull.[7]. He continues to write
lyrics for singers such as Paula DeAnda, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Hudson and
Frankie J[1].
His third studio album,
Cyclone (initially titled Ronnie Ray All Day)
, was released in late October 2007. So far, Baby Bash has released three singles
off the album: "Mamacita" featuring Marcos Hernandez, "Na Na
(The Yummy Song)", and "Cyclone" featuring T-Pain. The month
of the album release, Baby Bash became Myspace's #1 Latin artist[1], and the
single Cyclone had over 750,000 digital and ringtone sales prior to the album's
release[1].
Baby Bash is presently working on a new film entitled Primos starring Chingo Bling and Danny Trejo. The comedy involves three cousins working in a bakery with dreams of making money, and is slated for a 2008 release[1].
His major-label debut Tha Smokin' Nephew was well-received by the All Music Guide[9], but his 2007 album Cyclone was given mixed reviews, for example being panned by Rolling Stone magazine.[10]
On December 31, 2007, Baby Bash performed at the halftime show of the Brut Sun Bowl [1] game between South Florida and Oregon.
Baby Bash has also worked with Australian artist Kate Alexa, who on March 3rd, 2008 released the song Teardrops, which is a cover of Womack & Womacks Teardrops song. Baby Bash raps during the song and the song has performed well in Australia.
