Biography

Buddy, a standout Compton artist known for his unique blend of rap and singing, made waves in the early 2010s with his down-to-earth yet unconventional style. After signing with Star Trak Entertainment and later G.O.O.D. Music, he found his creative groove with RCA, releasing projects like Harlan & Alondra (2018), Janktape, Vol. 1 (2020), and Superghetto (2022), which all garnered attention on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Collaborating with a wide range of artists, including Snoop Dogg, Nipsey Hussle, and Kendrick Lamar, Buddy has solidified his place in the music industry.

Nicknamed by his sister, Buddy, also known as Simmie Sims III, started pursuing music seriously in his youth. Pharrell Williams took notice of his talent and signed him to Star Trak and later I Am Other, leading to the release of projects like Idle Time (2014) and Ocean & Montana (2017). Transitioning to RCA, Buddy continued his prolific output with releases like Harlan & Alondra and continued collaborations with a diverse array of artists. His sophomore album, Superghetto, released in 2022, showcased his growth as an artist with standout tracks featuring Tinashe, T-Pain, and more.

Affinity overlap with leading lifestyle names points squarely at streetwear, music platforms, and lifestyle products. Expect awareness that shows up in the comments—not just in the reports.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low

How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
