Bash’s musical career began in the early noughties, not too long after injury had conspired to curtail a promising basketball career in college. Between his hometown of Vallejo and his new, adopted home base of Houston, Texas, he found himself performing in a number of hip hop groups, including Latino Velvet and Potna Deuce. That was enough to put him on the hip hop map in his own right, and he released a couple of moderately-received records in 2001 and 2002, ‘Savage Dreams’ and ‘On tha Cool’ respectively.
Those records did more than enough to earn Bash a chance with Universal, who quickly signed him and put out album number three, ‘Tha Smokin’ Nephew’, in 2003. It would ultimately go gold, with sales of over half a million. His first release under the Bash name, meanwhile - ‘Super Saucy’ - would secure him a top twenty single in the U.S., in the form of the Akon collaboration, ‘Baby I’m Back’. In the years since, he’s continued to collaborate widely, with the likes of Paul Wall, Miguel, Too Short, Problem and T-Pain having appeared on his solo records, whilst he’s made four albums to date with his rap group Lone Star Ridaz, too.
You may not recognize the name Ronnie Ray Bryant, but anyone raised in the 90s will recognize the name Baby Bash. I was actually a bit apprehensive about going to his show, mainly because I didn’t know a lot of his songs; but somehow, my friend convinced me that I still knew enough that it’d be worthwhile. As much as I hate to admit it, she was right. The crowd was huge! I hadn’t really thought about how big of a following he had, but it was awesome because the energy level was set so high. When Baby Bash took to the stage I found myself singing and dancing along. I was also pleasantly surprised at how great his raps are live, probably because of the emotion and love of what he does really shines through. He was great with the audience, constantly engaging them and getting them pumped up (even though I didn’t think it was possible to raise the energy more). The best part about the show was that he had a lot of guests come on and do their collaboration songs. Like Frankie J coming on stage to sing “Sugar Sugar,” and Sean Kingston coming on to sing “What Is It.” He closed out the show with “Cyclone” and everyone went wild! The whole place boomed, with everyone singing and dancing.
