The original BB Queen Bahamadia, with her distinctive smooth-monotone flow, has quietly faded into the background. Her first album “Kollage” was a hiphop classic and till this day still brings a smile to my face whenever I hear it. Don’t even get me started on that remix the Roots did for “I Confess”…
Anyway, in 2000 she came back with yet another (so forgotten) classic! For many people “BB Queen” was the first time they ever heard Dwele sing and produce & that joint with Slum Village…still sick!
It wasn’t a total surprise that Bahamadia left us with a 5 year hiatus again to come back in 2005 with the slept on album of the week “Good Rap Music”. In my opinion it’s not her best album, but still it does have a couple of nice joints on it worth checking out. The title track was produced by Kev Brown and it also features producers like King Britt and Hezikiah Davis. You gotta love the smart-ass rhymes and buttery flow she’s become so well known for. In case you’re curious and want to buy this album…try Amazon!
Oh peep this DJ Rahdu “Total Wreck: The Encyclopedia of Bahamadia” mix posted by our friends over at BamaLoveSoul. Since their podOmatic reached it’s bandwith be sure to download it HERE.

After being shot in the head and losing a fiance to suicide Vstylez has stayed persistant in the pursuit of his dreams. He began recording his solo project “Masterpiece Theater” with additional scores by DJ DEZ (Slum Village) and MoSS. “Clash of the Titans” has a sick line-up and MoSS did a hell of a job on the production. It’s Hiphop like we used to listen to back in the days…quality. Together with Buff1 and Stretch Money V gives us “Can’t Stop a Man” which is just as impressive and was produced by DJ DEZ. Listen for yourself and pass judgement. Thnx to DetroitRap
