BANDIT --- UPTOWN'S POSTER BOY !!!! WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE - in stores now !!!!
Born in Philadelphia, Bandit grew up in Uptown Philadelphia (Mt. Airy/West Oak Lane). He has been rapping since he could remember, but started getting into the “Rap Game†seriously in 2004. Growing up in the same neighborhood as CASSIDY, a well known rap artist, Bandit recalls many people comparing the two, saying that their styles were very similar.Bandit thinks back to sitting on the block taking Cassidy’s advice to always try to be different from other rappers and not to “swagga Jack†in other words not to copy styles. He feels growing up in Uptown, enabled him to take from his environment and come into his own style, because it wasn’t the “hood†and it wasn’t the suburbs. It gave him the feel for both and allowed him to adapt to his surroundings. Bandit was able to know when to be “hood†and when to be the “corporate thug/business man “.Bandit has been on many Rap DVD’s, such as; Drama 2 The Remix, I’m Not a Rappa 4, Philly Barbarians 2 and All Pub Street Kings. He has also made television appearances on the Comcast Channel and VH1. Bandit has been interviewed on several college radio stations and has been mentioned in the Philadelphia Metro as well as many other local newspapers.
Some major artists that Bandit has worked with include TREY SONGZ in the hit song “You Already Know†receiving connections through well known song writer Troy Taylor. Bandit was also fortunate to do a collaboration with AMERIE, leading to another hit song called “Push Itâ€. This song has been played in several clubs and has been requested by many DJs.Bandit was the first rapper to be sponsored by a wireless company (Verizon Wireless). This opportunity has opened many doors, one of which making it possible for his fans to purchase the song “Push It†on cellular phones as a ringtone through Cingular. Some of Bandits other sponsors include G2 and Bellargo Piarge’ Coture.About one year ago, Bandit caught the attention of ACTOR/SOCIALITE DANIEL DEVLIN, the founder of Devlin Media Group. Daniel Devlin later became Bandit’s manager. Bandit’s music also sparked the attention of Mz Jerzee (1st female take over Legend). He also grabbed the attention of producer / hit maker Just Blaze and Mr. Exclusive ( which led him to do the song with Amerie).
In the 2006/2007 Philly Hip Hop Awards, Bandit was nominated for best new artist, which put him in the same category as Reed Dollaz, Joey Jihad, Meek Millz and others.Bandits official DJ, “DJ Damage†caught the attention of Bandit when he realized how much drive and hunger Damage had. DJ Labeanzie (Re-up Gang/The Clipse DJ) is another DJ Bandit had worked with along with DJ Jay V (Bum Squad DJs).Don’t knock the hustle, this boy is definitely making moves. You can expect and will see more to come from Bandit- "Uptown’s poster boy"!
