Leonard Brown (born March 13, 1992), better known by his stage name “LB” or “Brooklyn Boy LB”, was born and raised in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, NY. He is the baby of (3) three children born to his Mom. LB spent a lot of time concerning himself with many of the issues his family faced after his mom and dad separated when he was still very young. LB developed misbehaving tendencies, and was quickly labeled as a "problem child". A social worker that was designated to counsel LB, along with his mom encouraged him to put his feelings in writing. LB initially began keeping a daily journal, and quickly became accustomed to putting his feelings of frustration, anger, and despair on paper. LB spent most of his spare time with his older brother, observing him record and perform at many NYC showcases. This inspired LB to create a style of his own.
Although LB desired to become a great hip-hop artist, he also had a desire to become a pro basketball player. He was strongly influenced by Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson and LeBron James. He played basketball for (4) four years while attending high school and also played a role in winning the 2010 PSAL Class A Championship. He planned on playing in college, but his love for music began to play a much bigger role in his life.
