Bodega Bamz is sprouting out! The Spanish Harlem emcee has been known to hang-out with A$AP Mob, but who knew, “Those are my niggas. We from the same hood, f**k the same b***hes, smoke the same weed, and drink the same liquor. Those are my niggas, “Bamz tells Hip-Hop DX. More informatively, we find out about the, ‘Tanboy’ movement and who the, “La Vida” artist contributes to being his influences. “The Tanboy movement is a movement of Latinos, the voice of the voiceless and a movement of Latinos that want to uplift our culture,” he says. “The bulk of the inspiration came from Latino culture…my culture and my hood, Spanish Harlem,” Bodega Bamz adds. As far as other influencers, Michael Jackson (who hasn’t he influenced)…The Eagles, Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers.” Bamz admits that he doesn’t listen to rap much. If he does, it’s from the late 90s or 2000. He doesn’t want fall into the, ‘sound’ of another rapper. Pretty cool! A rapper who doesn’t listen to much rapper. Drop down bottom for more.
