Born to a Mexican father and an Afro-Cuban mother, B-Real's moved with his sister and mother out of his father's home and into the South Gate area of Los Angeles before ending up in South Central. Before dropping out of Bell High School, he befriended future Cypress Hill members Sen Dog and Mellow Man Ace (who forewent staying with the group to go solo). Sen Dog, who was affiliated with the Bloods gangbanger set known as "Neighborhood Family", would later introduce B-Real into the set. B-Real became a crack dealer during his Blood affiliation, his lifestyle led to being shot in the lung by a .22 pistol in 1988. The shooting and subsequent hospitalization caused Sen Dog to rethink his priorities, leave gangbanging and take up a job as a department store security guard. After being introduced to DJ Muggs , who relocated to California from New York, B-Real and Sen gained interest in Muggs' concept of an album based on experiences from Cypress Ave in South Gate . B-Real would use his life-threatening experiences as material for the group's self-titled debut album, and other albums SOLO CAREER B-Real has released two , Warren G , The Alchemist and D12 .
