Carson Native Madi-B Gathers Momentum With Hit Single - February 18, 2007 By : Rud



"I am the streets. The streets tell me what to say and I tell y’all" – Madi B

With that in mind we decided to bring the street storyteller from Carson, California to dubcnn to let the world take note of a talented youngster. If experience truly is the best teacher, then the lessons on the lifestyles of the hood-rich and infamous are about to be revealed on the debut offering "Street G.E.D" by Madi B.



The Carson native has taken his education from the streets, the same streets that he has grown up watching the affluent urban community camouflage the mayhem which lurked in its gang riddled cult de sacs. Those same life lessons he has prepared over a soundtrack that has evolved into his debut release "Street G.E.D."

Madi B, born Mammadi Kabba, shortened his name and added the B to stand for Black to represent his respect for the richness in the culture that stems from the roots of his mother’s homeland of Sierra Leone. Madi’s imprint of being an over-achiever was established by his mother, a self made woman who was able to obtain a double masters while being a single parent of two. Madi B, as we menotioned earlier, chose to graduate from the streets. Although he avoided gang-life, Madi B couldn’t deny his desire to chase the almighty dollar, so while his mother was away at work he put in work on the streets. As fate would have it, his antics found him missing his senior year of high-school due to a conviction that landed him in jail for 10 months.

It was during this time, however, he picked up a skill from watching a friend who happened to be locked up at the same time. "My boy was always in there free styling and the more I listened to him the more I felt like I could do it too. I knew once I got out of jail I had to do something different because I knew jail wasn’t a place I ever wanted to go back to," explains Madi

Fresh from lock up, Madi B made sure to go back and get his GED and entered a competition that would change his life forever. Dedicated to his dreams, Madi B’s talent was discovered through an audition held by newly-launched Anytime Records. The company’s founders, Bobby & Monique Evans didn’t hesitate to sign him. "His talent is just undeniable," says Bobby. "He impressed us with his vocal deliver and tone. His style is unique."

Currently making public appearances on a regional high-school promo tour, Madi B can also be found climbing the charts of various record-pool and mix-show charts, with his hit single "My Money’s Long" - a track that we have for exclusive download below. With other notable tracks including Glasses Up and "Unsincerely Yours" Madi B offers a refreshing new vibe to west coast music. In an industry where perspective and identity can be easily lost, Madi B can hold his own.
