He was second
runner-up in an artist showcase in 1999, which allowed him
to work with Deftone, a producer who was just starting
ReServed Records. Three projects followed – the ReServed
Project in 2000, where Bobby's track featured KJ-52, his
first full length album "The hip-hop alternative
(community’s call)" got released in 2002 and "The community
music EP" in 2004. Most notably, “A song for Amy” from the
2002 release received extensive media exposure, because of
the sensitive issue it adressed which is rape.
Beatmart Recordings
He later on began submitting music to Tod Collins, who had
started a label called Beatmart Recordings. Two songs "One
hit wonder" and "Lunchroom freestyle" landed on Collins’s
project Best of the submissions, which led to a deal with
Beatmart in 2004. His first record for this label came out
in 2005 and is called "Government Name".
Song for Amy part II
Amy’s Song, a track on the 2005 album Government name, is
about a a young woman from his youth ministry in Lynn,
Massachusetts. At the time he was a youth pastor and she
told him that she had been violated at her school on several
occasions. The perpetrators went to jail, but this didn’t
change Amy’s reality. Bobby : "I wrote the song alongside
her, and she came to the studio with me to record,
“coaching” me along the way. This 2005 version was necessary
because this song has become a staple to my ministry."
Compassion
In 2006 Bobby Bishop announced he had become a spokesperson
for Compassion International. Compassion International
exists as a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases
children from spiritual, economic, social and physical
poverty. The charity organization is founded by Rev. Everett
Swanson in 1952.
Special Edition
In 2006 the album "Government Name" is re-released, because
of better distribution through the Sony/Provident network.
This Special Edition contains an EP entitled One Shot. Bobby
Bishop refers to this 5 track EP as a "hip-hopera", an urban
story of redemption and hope.
New Label
On October 6th, 2007 the MC announces he has signed to
Chosen Records in Philadelphia and is working on a new
album "Everyday Man." The project was first titled "Launch."
Bobby Bishop was one of the first artists to be signed to
Beatmart Recordings. He got signed in 2004. As the MC
states: "I left on positive terms, just needed to turn my
focus back to my family and community, and get off the road
so much."
