Hmm... Buddy Bandz

Wait, hold up. Who is Buddy Bandz and how did he just snag the number one spot on Apple Music’s The New Bay playlist? His track "Need Nothin" is sitting pretty at the very top, and I’m definitely looking twice. Dude dropped his six-song EP *Counted Me Out* back in October 2025, but this prime playlist placement tells me the West Coast is fully locked in right now. If Apple Music is putting him at the front of the line, we need to pay attention. Don't say I didn't warn you.
