HYPETRAK TV: Bodega Bamz – At Close Range
The release of Strictly 4 My P.A.P.I.Z a couple of months ago bore several statements for New York
The release of Strictly 4 My P.A.P.I.Z a couple of months ago bore several statements for New York rap. One, it fused the legacy of intentionally gritty, boom-bap aesthetics with the energetic, trap-influenced thump of today. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, it contained a song — “My Name It Pt.2” — which for many blog perusers was their first introduction to Bodega Bamz. HYPETRAK TV got the opportunity to speak with the buzzing rapper in our latest video feature. Bamz is a prodigal son of Spanish Harlem, a characteristic instantly recognizable in the interview, which also covers his relationship with A$AP Mob, how it feels to be a frontrunner in the New York hip-hop scene, and more.
