Dr. B-Bay possesses a story unlike most. Hailing from Houston, Texas as a doctor of dental surgery which was first and foremost in his life, he inherited a passion for music from a very young age that has always been a part of him. Now at a stage in his life where he feels he can combine the two with a relentless pursuit, B-Bay has since released a plethora of music over the recent years, heavily influenced by T.I., Tupac, and Lil Wayne to name but a few.
His latest offering is ‘Checks’, and it’s an instant classic. With a fresh, upbeat and melodically catchy hip-hop sound, the track is sonically brilliant and sits proudly as a statement from Dr. B-Bay. The song is centred around chasing checks, as in a term of finding a sense of financial security, and that’s B-Bay effortlessly put across with a suave charm that’s undeniable.
There’s almost a reggae feel to the opening of the track, with twangy guitars and B-Bay’s vocal repeating the chorus line over and over, but then that instantaneous beat quickly enters and gives him the freedom to showcase his rhymes and flow that’s signature from him. Dr. D-Bay is destined for the top, and ‘Checks’ is more than just a stepping stone to his way there.
