Spotify Dummy Thick Music Video Tidal Instagram PageBioSouthern positive rapper BamsterG’s latest single, “Dummy Thick,” is a banger intended to bringgood summer vibes to all the men and ladies in the club — but especially the ladies.Thick, of course, is a slang term used as a compliment for curvy women. The addition of dummyadds a superlative, in tribute to the women with even more of that something special.“I wanted to make a song to the touch hearts of all the good-lookin’ ladies who feel like they gotthat big ‘ba-donkey-donk,’” BamsterG laughs. “It’s a fun track, but it’s also player. It’s cool, calm,confident.” The beats were produced by Atlanta-based producers Mercy Beatz and K-Rab (theoriginator of snap music), giving the track an upbeat, club-ready bounce.BamsterG wants his music to celebrate the positive aspects of life, and he calls his musicmotivational hip hop. “I try to motivate people to do better and to be happy,” he says. “It’s nopoint in being sad, man, we only live once. It’s time to get out of that heartbreak, get out of thispredicament, and try to turn that negativity into positivity.”The artist’s roots play a role in his music. While he now lives in the city of Chattanooga, hishometown is Sweetwater, Tennessee, a place that he says is “very country.” From Sweetwaterto Chattanooga, to collaborations with producers in Atlanta, a southern flavor is woven into hissound and style.The name “BamsterG” itself is a family affair. “My dad has called me Bam Bam since I was atoddler, cause I bammed on everything like Bam-Bam in The Flintstones,” he explains. “Then itbecame Bamster from all the sports I played: football, basketball, wrestling. The G is from mylast name, Goodlow.”Additionally, he credits his father, a musician known as John Wayne (real name StacyGoodlow), for initially inspiring him to begin creating music. “He had a home studio, and I wasalways around it,” BamsterG says. “He’s a big part of why I do this.” Other influences includeFuture, Rylo Rodriguez, NoCap, Young Thug and many more.In terms of creative process, sometimes BamsterG starts by writing lines of lyrics, while othertimes he is inspired by a beat and begins freestyling. And sometimes, the process is morecollaborative, involving several members of his creative team.In addition to his father, that team includes Drew Madden, a Chattanooga-based producer he’sbeen working with since 2019. His cousin, Atlanta rapper LDB Justo, is a close collaborator, partof the Lavish Dope Boyz Entertainment label. “You’ve got to have a team,” he says. “If you don’thave a team behind you, it’s really hard to get up.”With his team behind him, consistency is the plan moving forward for BamsterG. He has moresingles on the way, including a follow-up single next month and live performances coming soon.“We’re releasing singles one after the other,” he says. “I’ve got a vault ready. Not just for thisyear, but years to come.”His ultimate hope? “To make people feel good about themselves. Ladies, men, everybody. Andto make a way for my family.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
