DOEBOY - GIA’VONNI HOLLYWOOD - CORNBREAD

The Balla Boyz Club, also known as the BBC, is a rap group consisting of four main rappers, DoeBoy, Gia’Vonni Hollywood, Cornbread, Iceburg Slim, and Producer DJ Tabasco Black. With their first collection of songs recorded over 20 years ago, this music is truly timeless and still pertinent to today's new generation of hip hop fans.

The BBC's music conveys all the youthful subjects that today's new generation of hip hop glamorizes, such as sex, drugs, partying, gang banging, and revolution. Their wordplay is highly lyrical and DJ Tabasco Black's production is so current sounding. He admits to using a lot of 808 as a substitute for a synth and bass guitar. Majority of popular electronic music being made today employ this production style, making the music sound current AF. 

Recording in the mid to late 90s, the Balla Boyz Club produced three albums and spawned numerous solo, compilation projects, and mixtapes. 

In the present day, their lyrical content might be considered controversial because of the group's bold and unapologetic themes, but it remains highly regarded among rap fans who appreciate the BBC's attractive and vibrant style. For anyone who loves classic rap and lyrical brilliance, the Balla Boyz Club is worth a listen.

BALLA BOYZ CLUB

VOL. 1

The Balla Boyz Club releases Vol. 1, a timeless collection of classic rap.

The Balla Boyz Club, also known as the BBC, is back with their latest album, Vol. 1. The album features songs that are over 20 years old but sound like they were made today. The BBC consists of four young rappers, Doeboy, Gia’Vonni Hollywood, Cornbread, Iceburg Slim, and Producer DJ Tabasco Black, who set out in the mid-1990s to make timeless rap music. They used classic 90’s studio equipment such as the CAD E200 mic, Akai MPC 3000LE, Korg Trinity, and Alesis QSR to produce their music. Giving them a sound that producers currently try to recreate on computers.

The Balla Boyz Club produced three albums and spawned numerous solo, compilation projects, and mixtapes. 
Since those days, the BBC have settled into careers, raising families and surviving the everyday struggles.
Recently however, a hard drive was recovered containing unreleased tracks from their early years. These songs are ready for release as is and showcase the BBC's flashy, deep, misogynistic, sexual, and political lyrical content.

Vol. 1 is a collection of classic rap songs with an underground commercial feel. Some tracks sound gritty and underground, while others show off the BBC's impressive lyrical skills. According to DJ Tabasco Black, "Back in those days, no song sounded alike on great albums. In our heads, we were competing against great lyricists in their prime like OutKast, Field Mob, Nas, Kurupt, 8Ball & MJG, and The Hot Boyz."

Fans of classic rap won't want to miss out on Vol. 1, an album that showcases the Balla Boyz Club's incredible talents and unique perspective on the world. The album is available now on all major streaming platforms, and fans can also purchase the physical release at select retailers.
