Lil B April 21, 2011

Equally inspired by Prince and 2Pac, Lil B is an eccentric, ambitious rapper who came up with the Bay Area's the Pack, a group that had a hit with 'Vans.' After the group released its 2007 album, 'Based Boys,' Lil B began to explore other opportunities by first partnering with fellow Pack member Young L for 'SS Mixtape, Vol. 1.' New solo songs would regularly get posted to his MySpace site and then, in late 2008, he began to toy with the excessiveness of the Internet, storming the Web in a full-on blitzkrieg.
