AMG EXPERT REVIEW: B. Down's debut album, The L.A. Rap Junkie (1998/99), introduces the L.A.-based rapper and his impressive ambitions. Don't let the "junkie" reference in the album title mislead you; B. Down isn't a gangsta rapper and doesn't rap about drugs, sex, and violence, 'though those topics do occasionally creep into his rhymes. Instead, B. Down presents a positive view of the streets and values hard work and sincerity over crime and decadence. His talent is very evident here, though he's still a year or two away from blossoming. His second full-length, Rap Tactics (2000), shows impressive improvement. — Jason Birchmeier
