Baby Bash

In 2003, Baby Bash released his debut major label album, The Smokin' Nephew. Bilal is also the name of a neo soul musician who took his stage name from the original Bilal. The acclaim he received soon caught the attention of Universal Records, who signed the artist later that year. He was known for his beautiful voice for he was the first man to call people to their prayers. Bash's debut album entitled Savage Dreams was released on the independent label, Dope House Records in 2001. Muhammad later freed him completely and appointed him as muezzin. Thus, he decided to re-locate. Abu Bakr, upon witnessing this torture, bought Bilal from Umayya so that Bilal could practice Islam freely.

Baby Bash's career began to rise when he went to Houston, Texas. Umayya would have Bilal laid in the scorching sand in the desert, during the hottest hours of the day, with heavy rocks placed on his chest to prevent him from moving. His grandmother, who raised him, did the same. When Umayya learned of his slave's conversion, he decided to torture Bilal. Growing up, his uncles exposed him to many different types of musical genres. When he heard Muhammad preaching he decided to convert to Islam. He grew up with his Latin side of the family. He was a slave owned by Umayya.

Baby Bash's Mexican mother and Anglo father, weren't really around much in his youth. In Muslim tradition, Bilal ibn Rabah was an Abyssinian who Muhammad chose as his muezzin, and was the first black convert to Islam.
