SoundCloud

Since 2018, SoundCloud has been home to my music. It’s where my work has grown organically and where a community has formed around independence, creative freedom, and honest expression.

What 2B is Working on

Right now, my focus is on expanding beyond hip-hop into guitar-centered music and live musicianship, while staying rooted in the storytelling that has always defined my work. This period is about growth, discipline, and building a sound that can stand on its own in any setting.

Why this matters

After years of experimentation, collaboration, and reflection, this work represents a commitment to musicianship and longevity. It’s less about volume and more about intention.

ERAS

Every era represents a chapter—defined by where I was in life, what I was learning, and how that translated into sound. This is the journey behind the music.

The Emergence ERA 2018-2019

This era marks the beginning — stepping into music publicly for the first time. Driven by discovery and raw energy, the focus was on learning my voice, experimenting freely, and releasing music without polish but with honesty and momentum.

Featured Project: 4 Da Summer, EP (2019)

The survival era 2020

Created during a time of global uncertainty and personal pressure, this era reflects mortality, inner conflict, and emotional weight. The music became darker and more introspective as life began to feel real, fragile, and consequential.

Featured Projects: Rikk & Mortyy (2020) If I Die Young (2020)

The Brotherhood & Expansion Era 2023

This era represents growth through collaboration and volume. With renewed momentum, I released frequently, worked closely with others, and explored a wider range of sounds — proving the ability to lead, collaborate, and create at scale. Featured Projects: Heroes 4 Lyfe (2023) First Fruits (2023) WAVEMASTER (2023) 2B & His Big Band Vol. 1 (2023)

The isolation & Refelection era 2024

After years of output, this era was defined by pulling inward. The music became more restrained and honest, focused on reflection, solitude, and recalibration — a necessary pause to strip things back and reassess direction.

Featured Project: Alone Time (2024)

the rising man era 2024-present

This era marks conscious evolution and purpose. Grounded in growth and spiritual clarity, the music became more message-driven and intentional — a turning point where everything before it began to make sense.

Why my music isn't Everywhere

My music isn’t everywhere by accident. I release independently and intentionally, prioritizing ownership, creative freedom, and direct connection over mass distribution. SoundCloud has been the home for my work since 2018 because it allows the music to exist without compromise — on its own terms, in its own time.
