He has been rapping since age 16 with hip hop group The Pack and leading a successful solo career, garnering popularity through the use of social media websites. He created many MySpace pages in order to upload all of his music and recorded over 1,500 tracks as of July 2010. He signed with Amalgam Digital in 2010 for a multiple album deal. He released his first studio album, Angels Exodus, on January 18, 2011 through the digital label. The album serves as a prelude to his forthcoming album Glass Face.
When Lil B titled his last digital label released mixtape I'm Gay, he received several death threats. Although he is heterosexual, he says the title is a message of support to the LGBT community. Referring to the alternative definition of gay, he says he is gay because he is happy. Following the death threats, he added "I'm Happy" in parenthesis to the album's title. I'm Gay received positive reviews with many fans commenting on the album's wide variety of positive messages and noting the unique beats and lyrical styles not common to mainstream hip hop. He raps about many controversial issues including race relations, poverty, humanity, and the justice system. The album also, according to many fans, shows the "true" side of Lil B. It entered the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart at #56 and the Heatseekers Albums chart at #20 for the week of July 16, 2011. It is for sale on iTunes but Lil B also uploaded it to the Internet for free, posting a link to it on Twitter and Facebook saying, "for all my fans who don't have $10 to buy my album, here it is for free."
Lil B typically releases at least one mixtape every month; so far in 2012 he has released 13 mixtapes - 4 in July alone. One of those released in July was the massive 848-song, nearly 5GB collection of Based Freestyles, which is his largest release to date. In 2013, hip-hop listeners voted Lil B as the greatest rapper of all time.

Americas Most Wanted
Lil B Lyrics
Kristen Modaferri didn't waste any
Time when she
Arrived in the Bay Area through
The internet she found a place to
Live in Oakland three days later
She already had a job across the
Bay in downtown San Francisco
(Yo this is crazy) kristen
Worked at Spinellis'
Coffee Shop at the Crocker Galleria
"She called a couple of days before
She disappeared to tell us what
A great time she was having and
How wonderful San Francisco was and
All of a sudden she goes to
Work, clocks out at 3PM
And that's it we don't know what happened
I don't know what I'mma do
(Shout out to the homie Lil' B)
What did I do (Oh West Coast)
I can't believe this
(Chip gone crazy for this one let's go)
Started off daylight cool scenes, same flight
Next to my love nodded, and then I bossed up
Landed in Paris, got off the plane and
Ain't no Ferris, looking at my queen like
She's the real Harris, go to the hotel
Shower in the hotel
White make your nose swell
Louis V bag, Coach bag with the coattail
Sit down girl
I'mma show you that my dough real
You ain't ever met a dude
That's crazy like me
I can see how you looking
Just relax girl you shook
I done took you on a trip and
You don't have to pay shit
And now I'm in control and you
Owe me a little something
I'm in the game hustling
You in the Bay hustiling
And I took you from your home
And your name is meaning something
Look me in my face
I ain't playing games cousin
You my main bitch
And I dare you to say that you wasn't
(He had a sense of flair
He had money he had looks money was
No object and he also had
A vocation or avocation which was quite
Different than the normal fare)
I'm America's most wanted
(He didn't work his family was well
Overdue, and they supported him
And he was a free spender he
Was flashy he liked the
Nightlife he liked to go clubbing
He was described as a
Very handsome individual one that all he
Had to do was snap
His fingers and all the girls
Would go to him)
(You put two of America's
Most wanted together you
Get classic material and that's what this
Is west coast all the way to the
Midwest we run this here we go)
What do you mean you have to leave
What do you mean you lost your keys
She opens up her purse to look
Discovers that there's no pocketbook
I'm not a crook, relax a bit
I'm just a persistent man
Everything can flow just fine
But soon as you start to resist me then
Another side of me comes out
Swear it's not what I'm about
Promise that I don't like to shout
And pull these knives and shotguns out
You cry, you pout, you wanna go home
But what about me, then I'll be alone
I just need someone like you
Promise me now that you will stay true
Fuck the world, just me and my boo
Don't make me do what I don't wanna do
Come on, I'm running away with you
Go somewhere and play with you
'Cos all I can think about is you
Your smell, your smile, your beautiful skin
Told your mother you'd be home at 10
Look at the clock, oh what a sin
Why did you lie, to her at least
Come and lay down, you deserve some sleep
Please don't be timid or nervous sheesh
You acting like I'm some sort of beast
I just need love, I just need hugs
Here loosen up, would you like any drugs
Life is rough, I just need help
Like any food, I cooked it myself
Looking for wealth, found it fast
Looking for love, no luck for my ass
Until I met you, now how about some kids
Turn me down and be regrettin you did
Am I that bad, maybe so
Look what I done, I've been a ghost
You made me do what I did before
But every time it's love for sure oh
She made me do what I did before
But every time, it's love for sure oh no
Let it go (He was only 22
But friends say he was already a star
He played the hottest clubs in Miami)
I'm Amerikaz most wanted (I'm a felon)
I'll be grateful if I get away
I'm hiding, I gotta go
I'm America's most wanted
(But first, the case of a man wanted for
Murder "He went first class"
"Two counts of homicide, kidnapping
And recklessly endangering another person"
"People are making him out as somebody
Who lived his life getting
In trouble all the time and
Basically a bad kid
But he wasn't a bad kid")
