LB199X

It's the best way to describe hip-hop lyricist LB. The Washington, DC born & Glenarden, MD raised story-teller is ready to write his life in ink and bring it all to the stage, unadultered... all cards faced up with infectious tracks like "Higher". It's clear that LB has been penning songs since early childhood and is no stranger to using music as his medium. Music has been a long-time hobby of LB. At an early as, his mother would introduce him to music like Teddy Pendergrass, James Brown, Keith Sweat, Micheal Jackson, 50 Cent, Naughty by Nature & Cash Money just to name a few. These early memories would set the tone of what LB would come to be.
