   Bari Bandz Interview | Pure Rap Network

   We got a dope hip-hop artist & entrepreneur straight outta Daygo (San Diego) — Bari Bandz in the building! If you look up consistency, you might just see Bari Bandz next to it. From building his own brand IMOBTALK ENT. to staying active with his music, he’s been putting in serious work. In 2026 alone, Bari’s been on a run — dropping tons of singles, performances, and music videos, plus his project “Street Therapy” earlier in the year. And he’s not slowing down, with his latest album “Daygo State of Mind Vol. 2” released on July 24th — out now on all platforms. Links are in the description… we do the hard work for you! In this interview, we dive into Bari’s upbringing, his relationship with music growing up, and what inspired him to turn it into a career. We also talk about the difference between creating music in the studio versus performing on stage, and how he continues to evolve as an artist. Beyond the music, Bari breaks down his brand IMOBTALK ENT. — from starting the clothing line to building something bigger than just music. We also hit him with our Off The Dome questions — from life perspectives to what he enjoys outside of music (including his green thumb and love for basketball 👀). Tap in for a real, grounded conversation with an artist who represents the grind, the city, and the culture the right way. 🎶 Stream “Daygo State of Mind Vol. 2” out now 📍 Follow Bari Bandz — links below 👍🏽 Subscribe, like & comment to support the culture Bari Bandz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baribandz____?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Bari Bandz Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/bari-bandz/1474313916 Bari Bandz Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3STdiyzdBn1zssywT1gM51?si=vLQywV2xQ1CHLHhYGpEA9Q&utm_source=copy-link Bari Bandz YouTube: https://youtube.com/@baribandz?si=tziv1owhvMFOMxAF From San Diego to the World, this is The Culture, Elevated. 🌎 Intro Track: Bari Bandz - Daygo’s Finest Intro Instrumental - Prod.
