Louis Freese (born June 2, 1970), known by his stage name B-Real, is an American rapper and actor.
He is best known for being the lead rapper in the hip hop group Cypress Hill and one of two rappers in the rap rock supergroup Prophets of Rage.
Early life
Born in Los Angeles to a Mexican father and a Cuban mother, B-Real moved with his sister and mother out of his father's home to South Gate, California at the age of five. He later lived in Bell, California. Before dropping out of Bell High School, he befriended future Cypress Hill members Sen Dog and Mellow Man Ace (who later left the group to go solo) and became an active member of the Family Swan Bloods, known as the Neighborhood Family Bloods at that time. At the age of 17, Freese was shot in a gang-related shooting with a hollow-point .22 caliber bullet, which punctured his lung.
Musical career
After being introduced to DJ Muggs by Julio G the KDAY Mixmaster, B-Real and Sen expressed skepticism about Muggs' creation of an album based on his experience on Cypress Ave in South Gate. The band was signed to Ruffhouse/Columbia in 1991 and debuted Cypress Hill, the group's most popular debut album at the time. B-Real's debut album and subsequent launches will feature fictional accounts from life-threatening experiences.
B-Real's distinctive high-pitched, nasal rap style emerged while recording their first album. He had rapped with something like his normal voice before, but DJ Muggs told him that his rap performance was boring and that unless he changed it, he would be overshadowed by Sen. Dog. B-Real was inspired by hip hop artist Rammellzee, who had occasionally rapped in a high-pitched voice. Initially, B-Real initially thought the high voice was a stupid gimmick, but he was amazed at the positive feedback he received for his new style and decided to keep going with it.
Cypress Hill's self-titled debut album was a critical and commercial success, selling 2 million copies, and their follow-up album, 1993's Black Sunday, was a much bigger success, peaking at number one on the Billboard 200 and eventually selling 3.4 million copies. They were the first Latin rap band to have platinum and multi-platinum albums, and they remain the best-selling Latin rap group of all time. "I'm glad to say we were able to do what we did, being Latino, but not really exploiting the other aspects of it," B-Real said in a 2010 interview. Because back in the day, when you were branded "a Latino rapper," the record companies would only try to market you to the Latin fan-base, which did not even exist yet! So yeah, it's great to see people recognize us as some of the pioneers who opened the way for a slew of these other Latino rappers to come through."
B-Real has performed in several other musical projects in addition to Cypress Hill. He appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Space Jam in 1996. He appeared with Mellow Man Ace and Son Doobie on the short-lived Serial Rhyme Killas, which released one 12" single in 2002. Deluxe Rapture was the group's debut album, but it was never announced. With Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter and Fear Factory members Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera, B-Real formed a rap metal band named Kush. According to B-Reality, Kush is more popular than other bands in the genre. He was also a member of The Psycho Realm, and in 2007 he revealed that he would collaborate with Sick Jacken once more on a new album. In an interview with Cypress Hill resident DJ Muggs, he revealed that he plans to record a "vs."
From 2005 to 2007, B-Real released three mixtapes: The Gunslinger, The Gunslinger Part II: Full of Dollars, and Part III: For a Few Dollars More. In 2009, he released Smoke N Mirrors, his first solo album. He appeared on Snoop Dogg's "Vato," a guest artist on Snoop Dogg's 2006 album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment. He appeared on the band's fifth album Five's "Black Cadillac" in 2017.
He was active in the Prophets of Rage from 2016 to 2019, as well as Chuck D and former Rage Against the Machine founders.
