Bazaar Royale
Once a Bloodline artist and protégé of rap superstar DMX, Bazaar found that the record label couldn’t market his sound. Imagine George Clinton, Otis Redding, Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur, Slash and Steven Tyler all performing together onstage – that would be a sound that could compare (well, kinda) with Bazaar. “People always said to me, ‘You’re the ghetto Axl Rose,'” he says. I know they think there giving me a compliment so I smile and say thank you. But Bazaar defines his sound as “hood rock” or “aggressive soul,” both reminiscent of tough days growing up on the streets as a ward of the state. Ghetto metal has a growing fan base. Followers from San Francisco to St. Louis leave messages on Bazaar’s Web site lamenting the difficulty they have making the “movement” happen in their cities. “Ghetto metal is like taking a trip to the past to find the future,” says deejay and music producer Mark Ronson. “It’s not a gimmick.” “Bazaar Royale is one of the most unique artists to emerge on the scene in a long time,” says Randy Acker of Epic Record’s A&R team. Acker is working with Bazaar to help him develop a new record.
