Barry Bondz is a hip hop artist and songwriter who's worked extensively with Busta Rhymes, Jim Jones, DJ Premier and Joe Budden. Featured in CBS Sports Radio, VIBE, The Source, HIPHOPWEEKLY, Thisis50 and RESPECT Magazine, the Newark, NJ native is on the rise. His journey is inspirational as an independent artist, with credits that include an appearance on the soundtrack of Sundance’s American drama Brick City, a documentary produced by Marc Levin, Academy Award-winning actor and filmmaker Forest Whitaker, Evan Shapiro, and Sarah Barnett. Bondz also got the nod as a lyricist on the highly coveted BET Hip-Hop Cypher and walked on runway at New York Fashion Week. Musically, Bondz has put out lyrical heat, dropping his debut EP, Glory in 2014, which got rave reviews in The Source Magazine. Bondz followed that up with his sophomore EP, The Genco in 2015, Psalm 27 in 2016 and C4 and The Genco II in 2017. He’s also written and produced jingles for top rated radio shows and podcasts like CBS Radio’s Brown and Scoop and Scoop B Radio. 2018 is slated to be a huge year, with his MMIX, a tribute to his Genco brand being established in 2009. Look out for that release in mid-March.
