B-Real

Cypress Hill frontman B-Real dropped his first solo album, Smoke N Mirrors, in the early part of 2009. To call it a full solo effort is somewhat of a misnomer: It’s heavy on guest appearances, and the influence of various cameos is evident throughout. Damian Marley brings his roots-reggae background to it, while guys like Soopafly and Snoop Dogg ground it in solid West Coast hip-hop.
