B.E.M.E...

At age 23 B.E.M.E., Aka B, has made it a long way from mere dreams of being a Comic Book Artist and Firefigher to actually working at a Youth Radio and beginning his rap career. He was born in the town of Gary Indiana, where the great Michael Jackson was from, then moving when he was 7, to Oakland California.

Just by chance, an outreach program came to his high school to talk about having opportunities for working for an internet based youth radio. When B heard that, he didn't turn the offer down and Youth radio has made him what he is today. But there was still a part of B that wanted more. Growing up and listening to those who inspired him most, from Fugee's, Pharside, Tribe Called Quest, Nirvana and The Romeo And Juliet soundtrack changed everything. He knew he wanted to be a part of music. His music now ranges from Trip Hop, Hip hop and rock. In the interview with him I asked him what he raps about. He replied that if he could put himself into a catogory it would be like 'non fiction raps'.

He talks about everyday life situations and all truth and nothing but the truth. B is very inspired and extremely driven, working 3 to 4 times a week in the studio and being there most of the night. There's not a day that goes by that B doesn't pick up a pen to write, sometimes finding himself having to sneak it in.

His recent mixtape, B.E.M.E. Mixtape, is out with very good initial feedback and his Album 'Words', will be out either Christmas or New Years day.

I recommend that everyone check him out. He's truly a great rapper and I see a bright future for him. Here are some links to see what he's all about.
