Band Members:
NATIVE GUNS was the duo of California-bred, Filipino MCs KIWI and BAMBU , who worked together from 2002-2007. They rocked crowds all over California as well as New York City, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, Florida, and Vancouver with their fearless mix of hard-hitting beats, machine-gun lyricism, and unapologetic critical content.KIWI, an L.A native who now lives in in the SF Bay Area, has been holding it down for years and released his first full-length project entitled "Writes of Passage: Portraits of a Son Rising" in October of 2003.BAMBU, originally from the Watts community of Los Angeles, released his debut album "Self Untitled" in April 2002.
Also in the Guns crew is Houston-bred, Oaktown-based DJ Phatrick, who's been holding it down behind them on the ones and twos since Fall 2005.
In September of 2004, the Native Guns released the beat-jacker cult-classic "Stray Bullets Mixtape Vol. 1" CD, followed by their 12" single "Champion" which came out last year. And on May 2nd of 2006, they finally released their long-awaited, highly-anticipated debut album "Barrel Men."
Native Guns officially broke up in spring 2007. However, both Kiwi and Bambu have gone on to continue their solo careers.
