B1 Drops Bombs

Every so often an artist with promise and talent appears on the scene and drops only a handful of gems before fading into obscurity. We cannot say for certain whether or not artists with short but consistently dope discographies such as Now Born Click, AK Skills, or today's topic of discussion B1 would have continued their streak for very long. The only thing left for fans to do is revel in the fact that such artists bowed out before falling off and hunt down the entirety of the output, if possible. Recently Queens-based rapper B1 was mentioned at the T.R.O.Y. Forum and the resulting thread saw most, if not all of his songs and appearances uploaded. I put all of the files together for your listening pleasure. Enjoy -- Thun
