My Mission

The underground has an extreme amount of potential, but artists are often looked down upon because they don't fit what they industry seeks nor crossover. The underground just needs that motivation, that push, that encouragement to strive and prosper then anything can become possible. That's what I intend to do. B.A.M. Entertainment is for the people no matter what the industry thinks. We are here to bring the underground above ground and to steal the limelight that is so often shined on pop music and pop culture. 

My Sworn Oath:

I as a staff, record label, and individual will stay true to myself, my beliefs, my music, and uniqueness. I shall never crossover, nor ask any of my artists, employees, or affiliates to do so either. I will do whatever is available in my power to ensure the security of my artists physically, financially, emotionally, and professionally. I by signature of my name below, swear all of the above statements to be true, and will, to the best of my ability strive to see my artists, and any other associates succeed By Any Means.

Why I entered the music business

What inspired me to get involved in the music industry:

For me, believe it or not, began with poetry. In the 6th grade I learned about it in English and I quickly linked it to rap music and started to study the structure of lyrics in relation to poetry. To make a long story short, and to identify specifically what brought me into the industry were the streets. A lot of my childhood was spent witnessing violence, inside and outside of the home. This was often over senseless things. Along the way I met some pretty intelligent people, who just needed a chance to shine. I knew a 40-old O.G. who said that he only wished he could have continued his education in his youth, but had no other choice but to hustle to support his family. This lead to him being charged and unable to pursue an education due to the government not providing funding for convicts to get an education. I believe at that moment, that's when i felt that i got to help the streets strive and prosper. All the streets know is music, sports, and hustle, and not all of them are criminals in my eyes. At that point forward I knew that the music could get me away from the streets, and that if i could help others do it as well and pursue a dream and live that dream then that's what I'm destined to do.
