In 2016, after years of industry groundwork, he summoned the courage to go his own way. It was the kind of breakthrough most new artists dream of, but Buddy found himself restless, eager to get to work realizing his own artistic vision. A rising rapper from Compton, California, he was discovered by Scott Vener, signed by Pharrell, and tapped for collaborations with Chance the Rapper and Kendrick Lamar.
Buddy also recently released a new merch collaboration with street wear brand Cactus Plant Flea Market and his own Cool Lil Company which can be found at About Buddy:īy the time Buddy was old enough to drive, he’d already been thrust into hip-hop’s fast lane. In addition to the new song, Buddy is launching a run of tour dates with A$AP Ferg in Portland, Oregon on July 7th, spanning 9 dates across the US and July 23 rd in Montreal, and culminating in Boston, Massachusetts on July 27th. The album places listeners in shotgun cruising through LA alongside Buddy while he discovers himself within the rugged fabric of the city.
