In the next clip of our exclusive interview with Los Angeles Billboard Killer BUGE BAMC VS, he reveals the challenges he faced early in his career and the obstacles that nearly kept him from joining the revered BAMC Crew. “Half the crew was wondering why it should be me,” he recalls, reflecting on the uncertainty within the crew about his style and his potential fit among its notorious members.

Watching from the sidelines, BUGE took mental notes, studying each movement and technique. When his moment came, he executed what he had observed with precision, gaining respect and a newfound confidence.
