Just days ago, the Bay Area finally exhaled after waiting 3 years for Bumbalo to complete his debut album. The loyals crammed into the Elbo Room in San Francisco, CA for the Album Release Party, starring Bumbalo, Casual (Hieroglyphics), and the entire Collectiv Records Family. The energy of that night marked the release of the most complete and consistent Hip Hop album to come out of California this year.
Born in Oakland and bred in Berkeley, California, Bumbalo’s wears the Bay in his style and lyrics. First and foremost, he is a Bay Area rapper. But, with a raspy, smoky voice, Bumbalo flows a world of words influenced by years of absorbing everything Hip Hop has to offer
The Bumbalo album features appearances from Hip Hop frontrunners and old school legends. Mistah FAB, whose album is set for release on Atlantic in 2007, and Goldie Gold of The Federation both join Bumbalo on the album’s first single, “Hyphy Cat.” Mike Marshall, who is best known for singing the hook on the anthem, “I Got 5 On It,” lays vocals that take you straight back to the 80’s … in a good way (see “Rumors” by Timex Social Club). Larry Thomas shines on behalf of New York City on “Watch Out for the Potholes,” while 5th Flow represents the south with class on “Young Fresh Clean Mean.”
Without a doubt, the production on this album is what takes it from solid to stand out. The production team is anchored by boy-wonder Asa Taccone, whose credits include the Saturday Night Live “D*ck in a Box” skit with Justin Timberlake, and collaborations with Danger Mouse, Cee-Lo, Gift of Gab, and Sarah Jones. Other producers include Nick Johnson, Matt Jocelyn, and Egon Brainparts.
The album is now on sale at select retailers and online at Collectiv.Com. Bumbalo is gearing up for a summer tour with other members of the Collectiv Records Family, so check out the website to find out when he’ll be in your neighborhood next.

Truth is I am not just a musician, a traveler along life, with many opportunities to have explored it. Now I am breaking out the cannons, new songs from prior albums
Golden Censer 2003 album song called Proclomation – having performed exorcisms in my home I was inspired to sing about it.
I have another song in this album which is an exorcism for all who hear it, that one to come soon also. And many other great songs in this album.
Plenary Indulgence album 2005 songs-These songs I was just inspired to do, the rest of this album is composed in a similar style with the computer doing the singing.
I call this one just awesome ‘Power’
Other songs to come from an album called ‘Elisha’ in which I fasted with just green tea for a couple days,,life is about experiencing something new, something to give you a different outlook on life, if everyone just watches programs on tv a day they become the same product in the aftermath, when you take in something new, you become something extraordinary.
May God bless and save you all. Albertus Magnus
Ooooh kind of sounds a little scarry,,maybe I should get in the movie business .
