Easily moving between worlds full of pain, triumphs, contradictions and controversy, BARRY BONDZ knows his assets, and isn't afraid of using them. "Yeah, The pretty boy thing works for me it helps with the ladies but having said that, fuck it, its still money over bitches, so, it really doesn't matter.
" A quote from the track 3 'Broads' but a slice from BONDZ own life. "I write stories. I take real events, life situations that everyone can relate to: the girl who's man just got 25, hustlin, responsibility of feeding yourself and those under you, that's my palette: life on the streets." The color scheme may not always be bright and colorful but real, raw and gritty is the only life BONDZ knows.
From the gauzy mellow vibe of Play It Easy a tribute to old school R&B made current with BONDZ lyrical linguistics or the hard hitting staccato Goodbye where he wishes death to a certain snitch, BONDZ ability to paint his world is vivid and visceral. "I came into rap at 13. It started with Game, my cousin; he'd be in the studio recording his songs. But once he gave it up and I came in and took his place. Its been over a decade of perfecting my craft, I've been raised to do this.
" Confidence is well deserved. Surviving the brutal streets in notorious Brick City (Newark, NJ) an area cited (along with Camden, NJ) to have had the highest violent crime rate in the state and immortalized in films like the classic NJ Drive, BONDZ has had his own share of run-ins and close encounters with the law. "I been lucky, but I play smart. I could always extricate myself by weighing my options. Its the art of war.
I bring that realness to music. That's my gimmick." Skilled as an artist and businessman, BONDZ plays only to win. He carefully built an arsenal to take over the music business. The personal recording studio takes advantage of nocturnal tendencies, honed by a life on the streets. BONDZ recorded mix tapes, built a catalog of material, launched promo tours and built a loyal fan base stretching from New York to Florida. BONDZ has sold roughly 150,000 units the old fashioned way word of mouth buzz, appearances and constantly being about the grind. The life isnt easy or glamorous but BONDZ takes it all in stride.
"They aint neva seen a nigga like me!" A quote from the track 'Neva Seen' but also another slice of BONDZ own life. Elevating everything to a higher level BONDZ has a viable message for todays youth. 'I wanna teach them. Integrity, dignity, honor, that's what's real. There's no right way to tell somebody to do wrong but how you carry yourself is of utmost importance." G.M.B..

YES! I do too, but I can't breathe, I can't sleep and my head is throbbing....I went to the Pharmacy last night and she hooked me up, so I hope with these meds I can get to feeling better. I am not coming in this afternoon to work. We might actually do that. Send a text my way and remind me, if you don't mind. I'd love to do that! We are SOOO loving our vacation time and love being around people too. the extra money we made from taking those paid surveys online helped out so much!! you should really do them too; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:

UGH! It's just that he picks the damnedest (I know it's not a word) times to take a nap. I am STARVING and I didn't plan on cooking because my dad gave us a gift certificate to go to Ruby Tuesday and we had plans to go. I tried to wake him up over an hour ago and he's still laying there. I'm moving on from annoyed to pissed off! anywayz, it went good. We got stuff for our wii. How was yours? know what sucks? that IM supposed to be the one that knows about "web-stuff" and your profile is better than mine? Maybe I should just let you take care of mine like mom does Dan's...ohh, that reminds me, speaking of mom; i finally got her to start taking those surveys online like i'm doing, cuz i know the extra money sure comes in handy. you should really try em. i mean, if i got mom to try it, psh, i can get anybody to, heh..i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:
