Bravo The Bagchaser

18 years ago, Bravo’s race began at Glendale Memorial Hospital in Glendale, CA. He spent his life between Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. His father lived in South Central L.A., until he was incarcerated when Bravo was 9 years old. Forced to grow up due to the extenuating circumstances he began to take matters into his own hands and eventually landed him in juvenile hall. At age 12 he went to juvenile hall for the first time, and entered a cycle where he would be in and out of incarceration for the next six years. It was behind bars at age 14, where he began banging on the cement walls of his cell making a beat for him to freestyle over to pass the time. With encouragement from fellow inmates, he began to work on his craft and continued to write songs. After serving his year long sentence in juvenile hall, he returned to more tragedy. Only two days after Bravo’s release, his brother was arrested and eventually would be sentenced to 15 years in prison. This exact moment served as a wakeup call to Bravo and he decided to fully pursue rapping in an attempt to avoid the fate of his father and older brother.

For the past 3 years, Bravo has built a cult fan base by consistently releasing heartfelt music, street bangers with captivating visuals. Songs like “Bag Right”, “Bravo Flexin”, and “Trappin N Servin” have racked up over millions of views on YouTube. He’s opened up for acts such as Shoreline Mafia, Rucci, AzChike, Cypress Moreno, Mike Sherm as well as headlined his own west-coast tour with Fenix Flexin’ of Shoreline Mafia in February of 2020. Later that month he was recruited for Drakeo The Ruler’s Pippy Long Stockin’ remix. Drakeo was quoted in The Fader praising Bravo “And Bravo, I’d heard he was good, but I wasn’t ’about to throw the nigga on the song until I heard him rap, and when I did, I was like damn, actually the shit is real cool.”. Bravo cites Nipsey Hussle as his biggest musical influence, which speaks to his independent spirit, and non-fiction lyrical content.
