ShowGudda is a born and bred Compton, CA rapper.  

Growing up in Compton, Show Gudda experienced a fair share of pain and trouble.  But this struggle made him stronger, and inspired him to express himself creatively over drums and bass.  He was 16 when he realized that he was a talented rapper, and that it also served as an outlet for feelings he couldn't otherwise express. 

His first single, "All the Way Turnt Up" was released when he was 21.  Since then, he has released a slew of projects, including M.i.M.i (Mama I Made It) in 2010; W.A.N.T.S. (WE ARE NOT THE SAME) 2016; and State Cases & Federal Indictments in 2019.

ShowGudda has also received accolades from press interviews with HipHopDX and international acclaim from Social Magazine, based in France.

He looks forward to growing his career and brand through more music releases and extended merchandising.  You can connect with ShowGudda on IG @LongLiveBenzo or FB SHOWGUDDA.
