BioSouthern positive rapper BamsterG’s latest single, “Dummy Thick,” is a banger intended to bring
good summer vibes to all the men and ladies in the club — but especially the ladies.
Thick, of course, is a slang term used as a compliment for curvy women. The addition of dummy
adds a superlative, in tribute to the women with even more of that something special.
“I wanted to make a song to the touch hearts of all the good-lookin’ ladies who feel like they got
that big ‘ba-donkey-donk,’” BamsterG laughs. “It’s a fun track, but it’s also player. It’s cool, calm,
confident.” The beats were produced by Atlanta-based producers Mercy Beatz and K-Rab (the
originator of snap music), giving the track an upbeat, club-ready bounce.
BamsterG wants his music to celebrate the positive aspects of life, and he calls his music
motivational hip hop. “I try to motivate people to do better and to be happy,” he says. “It’s no
point in being sad, man, we only live once. It’s time to get out of that heartbreak, get out of this
predicament, and try to turn that negativity into positivity.”
The artist’s roots play a role in his music. While he now lives in the city of Chattanooga, his
hometown is Sweetwater, Tennessee, a place that he says is “very country.” From Sweetwater
to Chattanooga, to collaborations with producers in Atlanta, a southern flavor is woven into his
sound and style.
The name “BamsterG” itself is a family affair. “My dad has called me Bam Bam since I was a
toddler, cause I bammed on everything like Bam-Bam in The Flintstones,” he explains. “Then it
became Bamster from all the sports I played: football, basketball, wrestling. The G is from my
last name, Goodlow.”
Additionally, he credits his father, a musician known as John Wayne (real name Stacy
Goodlow), for initially inspiring him to begin creating music. “He had a home studio, and I was
always around it,” BamsterG says. “He’s a big part of why I do this.” Other influences include
Future, Rylo Rodriguez, NoCap, Young Thug and many more.
In terms of creative process, sometimes BamsterG starts by writing lines of lyrics, while other
times he is inspired by a beat and begins freestyling. And sometimes, the process is more
collaborative, involving several members of his creative team.
In addition to his father, that team includes Drew Madden, a Chattanooga-based producer he’s
been working with since 2019. His cousin, Atlanta rapper LDB Justo, is a close collaborator, part
of the Lavish Dope Boyz Entertainment label. “You’ve got to have a team,” he says. “If you don’t
have a team behind you, it’s really hard to get up.”
With his team behind him, consistency is the plan moving forward for BamsterG. He has more
singles on the way, including a follow-up single next month and live performances coming soon.
“We’re releasing singles one after the other,” he says. “I’ve got a vault ready. Not just for this
year, but years to come.”
His ultimate hope? “To make people feel good about themselves. Ladies, men, everybody. And
to make a way for my family.”
