Listen to Baby Bash on Batanga

Baby Bash was born to a Mexican mother and Anglo father. Growing up, his uncles and grandmother exposed him to many different types of musical genres. Bash had aspirations of becoming a professional basketball player, eventually growing into what he is now known for, a successful songwriter and rapper.

Baby Bash began his career when he went to Houston, Texas, where he met fellow rapper South Park Mexican, eventually re-locating there. Prior to his success as a solo artist, he was part of rap groups Potna Deuce and Latino Velvet, under the name "Baby Beesh". Bash's debut album, entitled Savage Dreams, was released on the independent label Dope House Records in 2001. The acclaim he received soon caught the attention of Universal Records, who signed him later that year. In 2003, Baby Bash released his first album on a major label, Tha Smokin' Nephew, and Super Saucy in 2005. He recently was featured in Paula DeAnda's first single "Doin' Too Much" from her debut album Paula DeAnda. He has collaborated with numerous other artists during his career, such as West Coast rappers B-Legit, C-Bo, Coolio, E-40 and Mac Dre, R&B singers like Akon Avant, Natalie, and Nate Dogg, and other Latino rappers such as Fat Joe, Nino Brown, Doll-E Girl, Frost, and Pitbull. He continues to write lyrics for singers such as Paula DeAnda, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Hudsonand Frankie J.

His third studio album, Cyclone (initially titled Ronnie Ray All Day), was released in late October 2007. So far, Baby Bash has released three singles off the album: "Mamacita", featuring Marcos Hernandez, "Na Na (The Yummy Song)", and "Cyclone" featuring T-Pain.

His major-label debut Tha Smokin' Nephew was well-received by Allmusic, but his 2007 album Cyclone was given mixed reviews, for example being panned by Rolling Stone magazine.

Baby Bash has also worked with Australian artist Kate Alexa, who on March 3, 2008 released the song "Teardrops," which is a cover of Womack & Womack's song with Baby Bash rapping throughout the song. He also performed the song in Australia, where it was well received, reaching #26 on the ARIA Chart.
