He goes by the name of R&B, but don’t get him confused with the music! R&B hails from the Inland Empire and recently released his project "I-Ebonics". The album is said to be his best work to date, as it’s a combination of all his experience in his career. While his name might be new to some, R&B has been in the game for over 15 years.
He started his career with International Records back in 1995 with the group Me and My Cousin, and signed his first recording contract with Priority Records that same year. Their first album titled "International" was produced by platinum producer Rhythm D and featured the track "Red Carpet".
A few years later, R&B clicked up with Sly Boogy and began touring with him. This led to them forming the group called The P.B.G. (Pit Bull Gorillas), adding Dirty Birdy as the third member. The name has been existing for a few years, but the first real project is scheduled to come out in 2008. One of the many collaborations the trio made was "
But back to his current project "I-Ebonics": The album is now available on cdbaby.com/cd/iebonics and brings you nothing but some fresh I.E. slash West Coast Hip Hop. R&B was involved in every step of the creation process, from the concept, to the music, the artwork, or the marketing.
We’ve got two songs for you to check out. These are "P.B.G. (Whaaaat!!!)" which is his underground single, and "Silly" which is his radio single. "P.B.G. (Whaaaat!!!)" features the aforementioned Sly Boogy and Dirty Birdy, and "Silly" features Bay Area singer Vonetra on the hook/verse.
