B.A.M.A.

It's 2004, and, typically, there are many rappers and rap groups, but there is only one B.A.M.A.
B.A.M.A., comprised of Brian "Taurus Caine" Morris and Darius "Rain" Lacey, is many things, but "typical" is not one of them. The group is the spawn of a mountain of creativity mixed with an even larger amount of frustration. B.A.M.A., an acronym meaning, Boyz After Money Always, is obviously from Alabama, which presents the challenge of overcoming an "untapped" market, as well presenting a new style to the ever-changing south.
B.A.M.A. welcomes this challenge!

Rain and Taurus Caine met in 1997 when the two (then, both, solo artists) were recording at Knight Crimes studio in Montgomery, Alabama. At the time, the only mission on their minds was recording anything so that people knew they existed. From that point, the two kindled a friendship then that would see Taurus Caine moving to the west coast and back to launch a "street worthy" solo career, Rain moving to Birmingham, and launching a successful "ghost writing" career, and both artists ending up back in Montgomery, Alabama with the same manager. It was that manager, Brian Miller, who saw uniqueness to the two and convinced the "Boyz" to form what will become the largest music accomplishment to the state of Alabama. Now with the added abilities of both members producing and recording, as well as writing, and being driven by the creative powerhouse, Vision Entertainment, which was formed by B.A.M.A. and their manager, success is inevitable.

Don't get it twisted; B.A.M.A. is by no means a group. B.A.M.A. is everything about Alabama. It's a vehicle that sets the "truth" of southern living to music.
B.A.M.A. is NOW!

    This cd is one of very few that actually has more than one or two songs that are great. This is the new deep south mix and it is darn good. Y'all keep up the good work - and while you are at it, swing on down to the MOB and play some clubs!

    author: Leigh Clayton

    I enjoyed this entire CD...Ordered it for one song..Sweet Home Alabama..but the whole CD was just FUN!!!!! I enjoyed it all and can't wait for the next CD by BAMA.

  • Great service from CD Baby!
    author: Renee

    What a great experience from CD Baby! From the hilarious shipment notes, to the follow-up, it has been a great experience. This was the only place I could find the B.A.M.A. CD - we love it - in fact, my sons & I argue to figure out who gets to listen to it next! Thanks again & RTR!!!

  • It's deep but the sound is clear
    author: TW BUSH

    This CD contains a more than a few great songs, At first I thought "sweet home alabama" and "everything in life" were my favs but "big boi" and "everyday" are coming on strong along with "any other night". This whole cd is great and I am very pleased. The bass is hard, the hooks mad and the delivery straight from the south. Thank you TC, Rain and everyone involved with bringing Southern Evolution to life. Before long even dem kidz up in Iowa will be spittin' along with these lyrics as they cruise around the corn fieldz. Word. TW Bush

  • Overall where did these Alabama sensations come from?...They sort of blipped in
    author: South-West Connection

    The production done by Mike J, Phatrick, Big Byrd, Taurus Caine, Dr Fangaz, was well put together, you can tell they sat down/laid out some of the better production instead of just getting a few hit beats they made sure they had a full album of quality beats. The production really ranges on here, you got a lot of different south trends via the beats, you have some of that real country homestyle feels, some new age bust a head crunk shit, some of that anthem just hard pounding bass tracks, and of course you got to have some pimping or female oriented tracks to touch that audience. With the production you will really have no complaints, they got it really well rounded and it can be seen they spent time with that particular part of the album. Taurus Caine and Rain. the rappers who make up this new group BAMA, how did they do on this debut album? Very impressive you can tell they went into this album as no rookies to rapping, they had their craft of spitting pretty well down pact and didn’t make a lot of so called rookie mistakes. As a duo they are abstract, they don’t really have a similar style which is how any successful group takes off, they sort of feed off each others styles on this album. Dirty, UGK, Eightball & MJG, the list goes on, no real need for me to explain, you pretty much have the idea in hand. When you get into this game and you want to be successful you don’t have to be the tightest rapper, but you have to be able to make hits and BAMA as a group show early signs of being those types of rappers. Big Boi, Sweet Home Alabama, Everyday, Rendezvous, Break Em Off, Everything In Life, all possible tracks that could have some afterlife as a single. Overall where did these Alabama sensations come from, they sort of blipped in on the radar without anyone knowing and put together a great album, pretty sure we have just got our mouths wet as far as what to expect from this duo, with the chemistry between these two reckon we going to be hearing from them again very soon.
