Big B
Jun 3, 2013
Rapper Big B (born Bryan Mahoney) recently premiered his track "Here Comes The Lightning" from his album, Fool's Gold, out via Suburban Noize on July 9th. It was co-written by pop diva P!nk with an assist from producer Butch Walker, who has worked with everyone from Weezer to Katy Perry to Taylor Swift.
"P!nk is a good friend of mine and we always wanted to do something together, but the timing never worked out because of her insane schedule," Big B said. "For this album, everything just worked out, as she had the time to work on a track together with Butch Walker. It was a cool mesh my writing style with theirs and the song we created together turned out to be one of my favorite songs on the record."
Big B's new album Fool's Gold features musical collaborations with Slightly Stoopid, The Dirty Heads, and members of legendary punk outfits NOFX and Pennywise. The end result is a collection of songs that are just as contagious as Big B's thuggish charm. With the entire music industry focused on finding the next huge star on reality television, Big B has taken a back-to-basics approach on Fool's Gold and filled it with fun spirited songs that can fit into any music lover's playlist. The album is rich is musical diversity and is cleverly inventive, as Big B seamlessly bridges the gap between rock, hip-hop, and alternative.
Big B is on tour this summer with The Dirty Heads and The Expendables on the Cabin By The Sea Tour.
