Information About

Brandon C. Rodegeb




B-12 was born and raised in the housing projects between Palou and Oakdale Avenue in the infamous Hunter's Point District of San Francisco, California . Growing up in the Ghetto is not unique, but the fact that B-12 is from one of the only white families that ever lived in this area gave him his access to hip-hop music and the streets at an early age. The youngest son of a single mother with two brothers (one murdered in 1994) and a sister, B-12 was interested in music when very young.

Growing up around such rap legends as Too Short , 11/5, RBL Posse, and others, B-12 was able to get into music early. Success followed, although not immediately ,and after his family moved to the nearby suburb of Vallejo, California in 1991; B-12 broke into rap music shortly thereafter.

After run ins with the law and spending time in various youth facilities, B-12 eventually changed his act and quickly moved up the ranks from street promoter to record producer to rap artist to full-blown music executive. Having worked with everyone from N2DEEP to Ginuwine to Boo-Yaa TRIBE to MC Eiht, B-12 has proved himself a staple in the independent music business.
