B-Lovee

New York drill rapper B-Lovee fuses sharp, forceful delivery with recognizable samples and melodic singing to produce a drill sound that feels both volatile and broadly appealing. That approach carried him onto collaborations with fellow Bronx rapper Kay Flock and onto his own 2022 mixtape Misunderstood.

Born in 2000 and raised in the South Bronx, B-Lovee took up rapping during his teenage years and began posting original tracks in 2018. A string of self-released projects preceded his first real traction, which arrived with the 2020 singles “No Hook” and “Shot Down.” Momentum built further in 2021 as “My Everything” and “IYKYK” each drew millions of streams. Many of his recordings drew on loops or motifs from earlier hits by Wayne Wonder and Mary J. Blige, giving his melodic drill tracks a distinctive edge. He gathered several of those singles onto the 2021 mixtape My Everything, which included guest appearances from G Herbo, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, and Kay Flock. The following year’s Misunderstood adopted the same format, rounding up eight tracks that featured some of his most recognized material.

In 2023 the RIAA awarded gold certification to “My Everything.”
