Straight out of Michigan emerges a second-generation rap family, The Bake Up Boyz. The group's line-up consists of four "Wolverine State" natives with an affinity for fortune, fame and flossy things: Dirt, Bub, Loot 75 and Young Jino. As they prepare for their Spring 2008 album release, Fresh Out Da Kitchen, (Fharm Music Group/Phase One), they recently released the single and video for "Now I Can Do That" featuring Jim Jones.
Fresh Out Da Kitchen is setting up to be a very well rounded album, with guest appearances thus far from the likes of Rick Ross, The Dramatics, Dwele and Jim Jones. This project will also mark the triumphant return of the legendary MC Breed to Hip Hop's forefront, as he appears on three songs on the album. Breed is also signed to Fharm Music Group, and has played a supportive role in the Bake Up Boyz' growth.
Although The Bake Up Boyz have been a group just under two years, the members have known each other for most of their lives. The whole situation and concept came together quite organically. "I was doing my solo record at first," explains Bub, "and Jino and Loot were already signed to my label Fharmacy Records. I hadn't done anything with them in two years, and basically I didn't want to leave them out just to do my solo, so I formed a group. I brought us all together and came up with the group -- it's been Bake Up Boyz ever since. We have a special chemistry; we got a good recipe together. That's why they call us the Bake Up Boyz - we're all in the pot together. Everybody brings a different flavor. The name of the album is Fresh Out Da Kitchen, so really when we say kitchen it's the recording studio, and that's where we bake up our music at."
"Bake Up Boyz is a combination of good ghetto music, good street music, good reality music, ambitious people - family oriented and caring," adds Loot 75. "That's what's really gonna make us get to the top, because we care about each other. We've been around each other without anything so we're going to hang in there when we got something too." Bake Up Boyz' manager Billion expresses heartfelt appreciation for their working relationship. "From a management standpoint I couldn't ask for a better group," explains Billion. "I have under-studied for some of the greatest managers out there -- Paul [Rosenberg] with Shady, Coach who started Young Jeezy and E-Class with Rick Ross. It's a wonderful feeling to wake up everyday and know that I have a national group. Even before the deal, I knew that these guys had the potential. When I first got the call from Dirt, he said, "Billion, I need you to call Rick Ross and have him come to Atlanta." I called Rick Ross, he came down to Atlanta and the chemistry was crazy. MC Breed was there... the response from Rick Ross was monumental. He looked over and said, 'Is that MC Breed?' Rick Ross was open off that, and the song ['Ain't No Sense of Y'all Hatin'] came out crazy."
Together, the Bake Up Boyz debut album will encompass the range of personalities with a montage of street anthems and club-friendly hits. "The group is a blessing for the streets, explains Young Jino. "We all say 'streets' - but the streets ain't nothin' but the world, because everybody is in the streets if you really look at it. From your snakes to your rats to the realest person out there, you'll find them all on the same block. Bake Up Boyz is that full feeling, it's like being right there in the hood listening to one of your friends tell you about what just happened. It's just like living, Bake Up Boyz is life of the streets."
