Louis Freese, better known by his stage name B-Real, is a multi-faceted American rapper, singer, and actor whose influential presence in the music industry took root in the early 1990s. Born on June 2, 1970, in South Gate, California, B-Real gained international acclaim as a leading member of the seminal hip-hop group Cypress Hill. Renowned for his distinct, nasal-pitched rap delivery and thought-provoking lyrical prowess, B-Real's contributions helped propel Cypress Hill to the forefront of West Coast hip-hop and allowed it to become the first Latino hip-hop group to achieve platinum and multi-platinum album sales in the United States.

Aside from his work with Cypress Hill, B-Real has cultivated a successful solo career and featured on myriad projects with other artists. His recent releases demonstrate his continued relevance and adaptability in the evolving music landscape. Singles like "God Flows," "Mother Mary," and "Triple OG" showcase B-Real's lyrical dexterity and commitment to exploring subject matter both in and outside of traditional hip-hop narratives. A testament to his community influence and cross-cultural appeal, he has also produced anthems like "Do It For LA (LAFC Anthem)" proudly representing the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC), fusing his love for music with his passion for sports. His various works, including collaborative efforts such as "Everyday People (Remix with B-Real & G. Love)," affirm his position as a dynamic figure in urban music culture.
