Lil Bam

Charming and charismatic, 21-year-old Keshawn “Lil Bam” Hampton never had any doubt he’d one day become the man to take care of his entire family, but the Birmingham native thought a professional football career would be his vehicle to success. Instead he’s now navigating a burgeoning rap career and riding high off the popularity of his latest project Airport Baby, a moniker he chose to rep his Avondale roots and the surrounding area associated with his hometown’s airport exit. Airport Baby birthed Bam’s hit single “Julio.” The infectious hook pays homage to NFL star Julio Jones, who played college ball at Alabama before making his mark with the Falcons, a move that parallels Bam’s progression from his own Magic City home to the great southern metropolis of Atlanta. To further set the stage for his national debut, Lil Bam enlisted the South’s most iconic hip hop mogul Rick Ross and sexy viral hip hop sensation Jucee Froot to join him on the remix for “Julio.”
