I’m trying to lead by example," says B.M.P. did something personal to become famous "We won’t do anything just for a dollar. Money will make people do crazy things and were not one of those people." The Detroit-based entrepreneur strives to constantly elevate, adapt and grow through our music, the business ventures, and our relationships. These traits helped him become a mixtape phenomenon before he had a major recording contract. B.M.P. has managed to become an internet forerunner at a time when others have failed to capitalize on the web’s reach, a platinum plus selling artist during a time of sagging record sales, and a businessman who runs several successful companies. All of his achievements and past experiences played a major part in shaping the direction of BMP’s 1st major label album, “Men Over Buisness.” In fact, it was our time on the road and in the studio that provided a purpose for K9 also known as The Killa as he crafted his new release. "Behind the scenes, a lot of artists talk about everything that they think is wrong with the world, but when it comes time to address the issues through their music, they don’t," he explains. "We decided that We couldn’t sit back and needed to be the one to say something." He does just that on "Ima Ride," a look at how the media and a variety of public figures continue to place blame on rap music for social issues, making loving hip hop equivalent to committing a crime. Then there’s the insightful "Evening News," where B.M.P. examines -- with a sarcastic tone - what constitutes newsworthiness on a planet filled with legitimately significant events and human suffering. "Everyday we watch the news and look at how crazy the world is,". "It humbles you to see other people’s problems and to see the amount of adversity others seem to be going through. If you think you’re going through hard times, you can always turn on the TV to see someone else who’s going through things 10 times worse than you. But then again, the media will also dedicate a majority of their time focusing on topics that we feel are not as news worthy, often times making celebrity gossip their main focal point. we wanted to do a record with some social Rappers but also not be too heavy handed when it comes to discussing the stuff that we should really be focusing on. We wanted to find the perfect balance and go right down the middle." With the 2007 released "Rollin’" featuring Lil Mark, the anti-police profiling smash single that became a record breaking mastertone with over 4 hundred copies waiting to be sold, B.M.P. proved that we could make commercially viable music that matters. Yet while studying the world to promote our November 2007 released debut album, “All Or Nothin,” B.M.P. saw one negative consequence of performing to diverse audiences. Each time we said the N-word in any of our songs, many of our friends would rap along with us thats whut I like About them. "It made us say to eachother, ’OK, Were going to have to do this run again and we don’t want to be subliminally teaching people to say it,". "That’s why we made the decision at the beginning stages of “The last lane ” to erase it from our vocabulary, long before the Deandre Campbell controversy even started brewing." Even though he sprinkled the N-word in his rhymes, B.M.P. was never one to emphasize curse words in his previous material. Growing up as a child of six in a strict household ran by a hard working mother and not a fake ass father father, We was not allowed to curse. In fact, our mother didn’t even want us to listen to rap. However, we did instill a tireless work ethic into a young hustler, something that ironically has helped him throughout each stage of our rap career. As the 4th oldest child in the household, We had to assume a multitude of parental responsibilities at a young age, which included juggling multiple jobs to help financially support our family. We stacked trucks with ice, held down a number of different positions through a furniture salesman with our step dad, and even worked at the car wash for a couple of years. It wasn’t until we grew tired of the jobs passing out fliers and promoting for clubs that we made a conscious effort to pursue more lucrative vocations. Being an aspiring rapper in Detroit Kaos at the turn of the century was not necessarily an easy move and because there were no major labels scouring the streets of D-Town at the time, we had to find a way to get noticed. "It was either eat or get eaten,". "We were bred to learn how to sell records out of our trunk independently and mixtapes were the easiest way to get your music out. People would bootleg them, download and burn them." we poured our energy into rapping, connected with the Drama movement, and then started our own Color’ Click before becoming a major superstar. Every step of the way we learned and studied how to become successful in the music business: how to make sure we got paid for our work, how to treat DJs, how to interact with fans, and how to deal with fame. Once his Detroit contemporaries, including , Lil Mark, and K9_Killa came out with substantial buzzes surrounding their projects in the first half of 2006, most people wondered what would happen to B.M.P. The man himself wasn’t worried. "We just worked hard and continued doing what we were doing". "We were never worried about anybody else. All we can do is get into the studio and put 110 percent into making the best music we possibly can, and then we ride out to the marketplace and push it 110 percent. That’s our formula for everything." It’s a formula that enabled The Sound of Revenge to sell more than 205 copies and set B.M.P. up as a successful businessgroup. Our Detroit based career was on what we co-owned before with our business partner Kaos designs, rents, and sells cars to corporations and high net worth individuals. He owns a tour bus company; His emerging rapping Entertainment label has a talented roster: Deandre AKA lil DC and Damario AKA Yung Ro, and Rap producer Tony Mosser. We had also become a real estate magnate. And for the man who has won a Grammy, an MTV Video Music Award, two BET Hip Hop Awards, who was certified by the RIAA as the biggest selling individual ringtone artist in history, and even saw the legendary wrong turn "Rollin" into a smash hit parody, "Ima Ride," it was being presented with the certified platinum plaque for The Sound of Revenge that meant the most to us.And "For for to come out and sell less than what was expected during the first week as a new artist to the Bay, people and critics didn’t even think that we could reach gold. We surpassed that mark,” B.M.P. Crisis says. “Then Rollin’ was later released and it propelled the album to go even further. In the long run we did everything that everybody said we couldn’t do. That platinum plaque to us was really important, it symbolized a lot." And for a man that continues to challenge himself to be innovative, creative and successful, B.M.P. shows no signs of slowing down in any way. "People are scared to roll the dice,". "I feel like if we work hard, we’ll always have good results. Were living proof of that."
