Buddy

Buddy, whose real name is Simmie Sims III, is a burgeoning talent emerging from the vibrant streets of Compton, California. With a career that has been on an upward trajectory since his acclaimed mixtape "Idle Time" in 2014 and his subsequent signing with Pharrell Williams' I Am Other label and RCA Records, Buddy has carved out a niche for himself in the hip-hop and R&B scenes with his smooth vocal delivery, candid lyricism, and versatile sounds that span across various musical styles.

His recent projects like "Superghetto" and its deluxe version have further solidified his reputation as a slick, relatable artist who can channel the soul of West Coast rap and modern R&B. Collaborations with fellow artists like Blxst hint at Buddy's ability to connect with his peers to create resonant, catchy tracks like "Wait Too Long." With songs such as "Black 2," "Ain't Sweet (feat. Matt Ox)," and "Faces," Buddy's music often reflects his life experiences, societal observations, and personal growth. Although he navigates themes of struggle and triumph akin to many rap narratives, Buddy sets himself apart with a unique authenticity and the sort of sun-soaked beats that give a nod to his Los Angeles roots.
