"If it wasn't for the Bronx this rap shit probably would never be going on, so tell 'em where you from…" These are the words that up and coming mc Brian Liles, 29, aka B. Liles stands by with his guns up! Hailing from the North East section of Hip-Hop's birthplace, Liles was surrounded by the urban phenomenon that took over the streets of New York, and by which ultimately took over the world! And now it's time for B. Liles to take that same world by storm!

Growing up listening to microphone legends like KRS ONE, Rakim and Kool G Rap, Liles became inspired to start writing rhymes of his own. Describing himself as an artist with versatility, Liles uses storytelling, real life situations, and straight up rhyming skills to get his much needed point across.

During a short stint in North Carolina, Liles and three other New York mc's formed the group, Startin' Line, who threw parties and performed across the area. In 1997 the group was handpicked to open up for a Homecoming show at North Carolina Central which featured artists like Jay-Z, Luke and Lil' Kim. As a result of being an opening act the group was then asked to record radio promos for K97.5 which ran for nearly one and a half years. The group was also featured on numerous mix tapes in the area which created a strong following in the Raleigh-Durham vicinity.

In 1999, due to creative differences Startin' Line disbanded and Liles returned to New York to pursue his solo rap career. Liles began recording and soon took the stage again to open up shows for the likes of Slick Rick, Doug E Fresh, and The Lost Boyz. The following year Liles and some other aspiring artists from his Bronx neighborhood formed the crew Route One. For the next two years to follow Route One recorded two albums, appeared in an advertisement in the summer issue of Urban City Magazine, and was featured on NYC's 91.9 underground radio.

Today B. Liles is signed to Onyx Management Services who plan to take Liles to the next level. He's been featured on the "Costra Nostra" project which created a strong street buzz. In a game where a fresh new voice is needed, Liles is more than ready to take on that task. So after spending years mastering his craft Liles feels it's time that the world be rewarded with his style, views, and passion for the game he grew to love up in DA Bronx.
