BUYO an upcomming artist from Santa Monica

Born & Raised in the West Los Angeles area… I grew up in the late 80’s & early 90’s when “slanging crack” & “gang-banging” was the thing to do…so you guys know the rest…”that's what i started doing”. Influenced by O.G. Homies & Real gangsta rap music,I started hustling & banging for reals. Juvenile halls & The California Youth Authority is where i ended up. As a kid i used to buy mix-tapes at the roadium swap-meet & i also used to get mixed shit put together by my homie’s brother “ERNIE G” from proper dos. i would see them make videos in the hood & listen to their shit fresh out the studio before anybody else heard it… “i always loved that shit”,but i was too young minded to take this rap thing serious, being in & out of jail , seeing my hood turn into lil beverlyhills , & hearing fake ass fools get deals…i decided to kick up shit about the hood & stories bout street shit that i feel...Right now B U Y O is focusing on coming with an album,he’s not sure when it’ll drop but that's pretty much the idea…He just dropped a verse for Conejo’s new mix-tape Scarface 2 & hes done colabos with Jokaboy, Ernie-G , Loco Negro ,2 High, Chino Brown ,Frank V, & d.j. Quad......I wanna thank BUYO for taking the time to send me this information for more about Buyo check out his my space page
