Brandon Christopher McCartney (born August 17, 1989), better known by his stage name Lil B, is a rapper coming out of Berkeley, California. Often considered as a pioneer of hip-hop, infamously creating the sub-genre of Cloud Rap, B’s influence can be seen from artists from Travis Scott to A$AP Rocky. He began his career as a member of the Bay Area collective The Pack.

Following some success with The Pack, most notably the song “Vans,” Lil B started his solo career with the album I’m Thraxx.

Lil B’s follow up project, 6 Kiss, dropped in 2009 and helped solidify him as an internet legend. Often considered the first real “cloud rap” album, songs like “I’m God” and “Birth of Rap (B.O.R)” helped turn both Lil B and producer Clams Casino into blog-darlings. Lil B’s bars flowed freely over Clam’s spacious beats in a way that would go on to influence many artists who come after them.

Over the next 4 years, Lil B would go on to drop 40 mixtapes and 3 studio albums. Notable projects include Pretty Boy Millionaires— a collaborative mixtape with Soulja Boy, Blue Flame— which started Lil B’s Flame mixtape series and contains biggest hit “Wonton Soup”, and the 101 song mixtape 05 Fuck Em.

Lil B is one of the most revolutionary artists in music, all he has to do is walk and they follow.

Brought together by MySpace in 2005, the rap duo known as The Cool Kids provided an alternative sound to the autotune-heavy, mainstream rap that dominated the late ‘00s. Chicago rapper Antoine “Sir Michael Rocks” Reed and Detroit producer-rapper Evan “Chuck Inglish” Ingersoll delivered laid back flows over simple but creative production to create a distinctive sound that brought their old school influences into modern times.

The duo’s first project, Totally Flossed Out was released on their MySpace page in 2007. The mixtape was good enough to grab the attention of Diplo and A-Trak, but they ended up signing to Chocolate Industries and releasing their first album The Bake Sale, on June 10th, 2008. Despite having problems with their label, the duo continued to tour and release music for the next 3 years, dropping two fan-favorite mixtapes; Gone Fishing in 2009 and Tacklebox in 2010. Citing problems with their label, The Cool Kids sophomore album, When Fish Ride Bicycles was finally finished and released in 2011. Following it’s release, Sir Michael signed to Curren$y’s Jet Life Recordings, and the duo was essentially broken up.

On July 13th, 2016, Chuck Inglish announced the Cool Kids would be reuniting via his Twitter
