About Black Bobby
Black Bobby is running for President of Hip-Hop. He is a social entrepreneur, Hip-Hop MC, TV producer and comedian/political commentator. You can find him in Miami. He writes a regular column called Brain Food on HyperVocal.com. He has also performed at Casa de Ha-Ha as an amateur comedian. Bobby dropped his first mixtape ever in Miami in November of 2009 with the support of Indie music pros like the owners of Sweat Records. The tape- Phat Kid Tendencies- was downloaded 814 times in 6 months. Then, he put out the critically acclaimed mixtape Black Bobby’s Negro Dialect which has been downloaded all over the world. Six months later he followed Negro Dialect with his recently released album- Presidential Shit: Black Bobby & His Goyard. Bobby is now around 35,000 total song downloads and is still cranking. He does shows all over Miami- at Love/Hate, Eve (White Room), Art Basel for Miami Independent Thinkers (twice), Vagabond, Bardot, The Fillmore, Churchill’s, Sweat Records, SWEATSTOCK, etc. This year he also performed for the first time in his hometown of Washington, DC at Wonderland Ballroom for the Cake & Kisses Party. He has shared a stage with many of Miami’s top acts such as Mayday, Garcia, Saheed, LMS and MC Jumanji. He has also opened for Hip-Hop legends such as Pusha T, AZ & Cormega and N.O.R.E. This year he is booked to open for Hip-Hop legends Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli) at Rock The Bells on Miami Beach at the historic Fillmore’s Jackie Gleason Theater. Bobby’s music has been supported and/or written up in the media through outlets such as: NBC Miami, the Miami New Times, Hipster Overkill, Rock the Disco, Beached Miami, Antisteez.com, TBD- Washington, DC, etc. Pretty decent for a guy that has only been writing music for four years and got his start at open mics in Ft. Lauderdale? Bobby wants to serve as a leader for the Millennial Generation and utilizes his background, education, talent, and vision to provide a platform for idealistic leadership in the entertainment industry. He writes a regular column for Hypervocal called Brain Food. He was just signed on to serve as Associate Producer for the TV remake of the cult movie Shottas. He is an Indie rapper and runs his own record label- SQUARE BIZ Entertainment. SQUARE BIZ consists of Bobby, DJ D-Up, producer R Cubed, the rapper Teagus Mayne, his photographer Jesse Meadows, our marketing assistant Cheynne Hoadley and our promotions team I-95.
Black Bobby is a rebel. Raised by a Black Nationalist mom. Groomed and educated by his dad- a lawyer trained in the Jag Corps. Bobby was raised on that DC area culture. He loves Go-Go music and Mambo Sauce. He thinks you are a bamma for wearing that. Kidding! After leaving DC, Bobby went on to attend Tufts University where he was active in many campus orgs and eventually became the school’s president. After college, Bobby and a band of able idealists launched a national nonprofit dedicated to reforming politics by training courageous kids to run for public office. United Leaders- the org- operated in Boston, DC, and SF before closing in 2005. Bobby left UL to finish his Masters in Public Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. After school he worked in management/strategy consulting at an elite firm in Cambridge- kinda like John Legend. Then he quit to write rhymes and preserve this Hip-Hop culture. Been on a mission ever since. Oh, and he organized on the Obama Campaign. Bob love tha kids. Thank you for your support. Enjoy the music.
Stunt Hard, my friends.
