DUBCNN: B-Real Preps Smoke N Mirrors For February 24th, 2009 Release!

[Chad]

B-Real, a rapper of Mexican and Afro-Cuban heritage, is best known for being the lead rapper in the hip hop group Cypress Hill. Since the group's formation in 1988, the pioneering rap-rock quartet Cypress Hill -- founders B-Real, DJ Muggs, and Sen Dog, along with newest member Eric Bobo -- have come a long way from the streets of South Central L.A. Over the course of its 17-year history, Cypress Hill has sold more than 17 million albums worldwide, including more than 11 million records in the U.S. alone. The group has garnered 15 multi-platinum, platinum and gold certifications from the RIAA; headlined Lollapalooza, Woodstock and the group's own Smokin' Grooves tour. B-Real has appeared on "Saturday Night Live," all the while breaking down the musical and cultural barriers between hip-hop, alternative, metal, rock, reggae, ska and Latin music.

Recently, B-Real, along with Cypress Hill received a VH1 Hip Hop Honors, to celebrate the vision and innovation that the group continues to bring to Hip Hop, strengthening its force around the world. Other artists honored in 2008 were De La Soul, Naughty By Nature, Slick Rick and Too $hort.

In B-Real's first ever solo effort, Smoke N Mirrors, he wanted to showcase his musical talent over beats produced by Alchemist, Scoop Deville, & Sick Jacken (from Psycho Realm). B-Real produced several songs on the project as well, including the lead track Fire with Damian Marley. Smoke N Mirrors also features tracks with Snoop Dogg, Buckshot, Kurupt, Too Short, Sen Dog & Young De.

B-Real is confident his fans will appreciate Smoke N Mirrors stating: "I am excited to be putting out my first solo project. It's been in the works for a while now. I want to show my fans a different side to my creative abilities including my own production. I am also excited to have teamed up with Duck Down. They have a strong team and I believe they will push my project to the fullest.”

Two videos will be filmed off Smoke N Mirrors for "Don't Ya Dare Laugh" featuring Young De and "Fire" featuring Damian Marley.

This looks to be a great lineup. Looking forward to Snoop, Sick Jacken, Malverde (formerly of Fifth Sun), Too Short, Kurupt and Damian's guest spots.

I'm starting to like "Don't Ya Dare Laugh" now. Scoop DeVille did a fine job with the song and the sample.
