PURCHASE NATIVE GUNS' "BARREL MEN" CD AT WWW.CDBABY.COM/NATIVEGUNS... Ever since Native Guns dropped the hammer on the hip-hop community with their explosive debut release “Barrel Men,” activists, gangsters, and music lovers alike have been licking shots to a new rhythm. The group, comprised of Kiwi and Bambu—two dynamic emcees raised by the harsh but politically-potent Los Angeles inner-city, and DJ Phatrick—notorious for reviving the East Bay hip-hop movement, has been fostering a cult following since 2002. Now armed with their highly acclaimed “Barrel Men” LP, the Guns have catapulted to top ranks, shell-shocking audiences internationally and bombing stages among the likes of KRS-One, Immortal Technique, Medusa, and Common. Already individually decorated as heroes in their communities, Kiwi and Bambu draft some of the nation’s top up-and-coming producers to create stories that reflect their experiences as Filipino American gangsters-turned-activists raised in the urgent climate of today’s society. The result is a battalion of songs that are unique to rap but universal to the listener. Their live shows are even more lethal as they join forces with DJ Phatrick on the wheels of steel, blasting the audience with an energy reminiscent of hip-hop’s golden age. People of the world—protect your neck, Native Guns is coming fully loaded. GET THE CD ONLINE AT WWW.CDBABY.COM/NATIVEGUNS
