The Profile

B-Real (Louis Mario Freese) is an American rapper, best known as the lead MC of Cypress Hill and for his high-pitched delivery and Dr. Greenthumb persona. His solo debut Smoke N Mirrors was released in 2009 on Duck Down Records.

Lead member of Cypress Hill; solo debut Smoke N Mirrors (2009, Duck Down Records); associated hits with Cypress Hill include Insane in the Brain and Tequila Sunrise; Smoke N Mirrors features Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Damian Marley, Kurupt; production by Sick Jacken, The Alchemist, J. Turner, Scoop Deville; DJ Muggs did not produce on the album.

Yosif’s review pans B-Real’s solo debut Smoke N Mirrors for weak production and an unconvincing performance, noting the absence of DJ Muggs. A few tracks like Psycho Realm Revolution stand out, but most arrangements and features fail to impress. Overall verdict: 2/5, with hopes pinned on future Cypress Hill output.
