NEW ALBUM "THE STORY BOOK"

Ryan Xavier Lewis (born on November 11, 1983), known by his alias KB, ONE , and The Connect is an American rapper, producer and music executive. Born in L.A.’s Cedar Sinai hospital, to Charles Grant Lewis of Los Angeles and Pamela Young of Rochester, NY. His father, a prominent bay area architect and USC graduate and his mother, a stylist and interior designer. Raised by his mother, KB was surrounded by music from a young age through his godfather Luther Vandross, and Godmother Dee Dee Bridgewater. His great-great grandfather was David Lewis of the Dave Lewis jazz band circa 1920, based out of Kansas City in the United States, and his first cousin is Ananda Lewis, the former MTV personality.

KB’s early life was spent in the Pico Mansfield area of Los Angeles. Before KB could become too entrenched in LA gangs his mother moved to Elk Grove, a suburb of Sacramento, CA. His father Charles was absent in his life until the age of twelve, in which he began an affair with his mother, which influenced KB’s outlook on relationships. At 14 he was arrested for his involvement in several local robberies, and his mother’s finances had plummeted; so he was dropped off at his father’s job in San Francisco, CA with no notification to his father. KB left his father’s Oakland loft for the streets after a fight between the two occurred, prompted by his father’s comment regarding his mother “you should never sleep with a woman you wouldn’t marry because you will have to live with the consequences. “ KB would not see his father again for 10 years until he would nurse him on his deathbed. He died of brain cancer in 2007.

After being in the streets of East Oakland, KB took it upon himself to enroll in Alameda, a majority white high school in California. He stood in the stands of the high school football practice and asked to play football in exchange for a place to stay. KB became the star athlete and stayed in Alameda until he was forced to find his own apartment after his involvement in a racial altercation. KB would go on to attended five different high schools before deciding to drop out and take the California proficiency test and gain his diploma at the age of 15.

KB began producing when he was 16 for local rappers in Sacramento and the Oakland bay area. He met Rappin 4-Tay who prompted KB to rap about his life experiences thus far. KB would later tour with Rappin 4-Tay and Mac Mall and performed his first show in Atlanta in Fall 2000. After the tour he went back to Los Angeles and began working with artists Forty Glocc, Crazytown, Limp Biskit, Tony Deniro, Keyshia Cole, Blu Cantrell, and The Game.

In 2004 hit men ransacked a house and held two girls and one male at gun point searching for KB. The same day his grandmother passed and left a small fortune to the young rapper. KB decided to lay low in Atlanta where he was introduced to a booming drug culture lead by BMF.

KB would freeze his rap career and would be recognized as Ryan Lewis in Atlanta where he spent the following years working behind the scenes with such artists, execs and producers as Lloyd, Yung Joc, Jamie Foxx, Big Reese and Jasper, Dollar, Brian Kennedy and as an producer/consultant at The Platinum House with V. Johnson and Shakir Stewart . He is accredited for managing producer Chris Henderson for Jamie Foxx’a “Blame it” track, and signed The Roosevelt Groups recording artist Syreeta Shine.

On July 1^st 2011 KB found his mother dead in her Atlanta home and he became inspired to come back into the rap game after many years behind the scenes, and hustling between California and Atlanta.

KB’s inspiration comes from the successes of Jay-Z, P. Diddy, Tupac and Kanye West. Musically he looks to Amy Winehouse, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson. His years spent in the streets of Atlanta give KB’s new music a strong southern influence from the perspective of his California roots. Currently living between Atlanta and Los Angeles, KB is working on this first album titled “The Story Book” to be released in 2012. His first single is scheduled to be released in winter 2011, on his Roosevelt Gang Label.
