Bust Down
Bust Down was the first New Orleans Rapper to achieve national recognition! According to SoundScan he has sold over 1.3 Million units, 900,000 of which were sold after 1996; five years after his debut album was originally released! He is an exciting veteran live performer with an uncanny ability to connect with the crowd; at a show in Texas, the sound system went out, including the mic and the crowd finished the last five minutes of the song for him! Bust Down’s hit, “Nasty Bitch” is still in regular rotation at most dance clubs throughout the South and he packs venues such as the world famous, House of Blues and Tipitina’s every time he does a show! After going platinum and not receiving a penny from his record label, he became disenchanted with the music industry, enrolled in college and earned a degree in psychology! After years practicing psychology, he could no longer quell his burning desire to create and perform, so he has re-entered the
music arena and is currently working on his new album! Bust Down is the quintessential lyricist; his music is a magical blend of old school style with cutting edge tracks topped with a flawless delivery of catchy melodies and ingenious rhyme schemes!
