Ronnie Bryant started his hip-pop career in Vallejo, but there wasn't a trace of Mac Dre grit in his sound by the time he broke with the top 10 hit "Suga Suga." His early V-Town group Potna Deuce (whose stuff actually holds up pretty well) fooled with some R&B influences; back then he was R-Beesh, or Baby Beesh. By the time he went solo as Baby Bash, he was laying down a way smoother, party-friendly sound. He moved to Houston and signed with a major label, working with Akon, T-Pain and fellow Vallejo native E40, and became a star on the Latin scene. His songs that aren't about girls are about weed (I think "Suga Suga" might be about both girls and weed, at the same time), so it wasn't a big shocker when he got busted for pot last September in El Paso. Undaunted, he titled his forthcoming album Weedsmoke. - Steve Palopoli sanjose.com
