B.L. Da Lyfe
(Botney Collins)
BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
There is something about a self-made man -- especially in Hip Hop these days where most folks earn their spot based on association. You know, those “Superficial Stars” who are more famous for who they’re signed to, who they’re sleeping with, or who they’re beefing with. Their “Story” is the star. Their music is an afterthought.
By contrast, there is a certain respect reserved for those who make a way from no way out; who turn adversity and struggle into the soundtrack of their own triumph, and find a way to weave their life’s joy and growing pains into melodic rhythms that move the masses... We call these folks MCs (Masters of Ceremony), and they are a rarity in today’s world of instant gratification.
Born in Muskegon Michigan, as unpretentious and blue collar as it gets, in an era when a man lived or died on his word and his will to survive, BL Da Lyfe is a true MC in every sense of the word. Music is in his blood – his dad was a drummer, and his earliest recollections are of hanging around pops’ rehearsals and local concerts. In BL’s own words, “I was born with music embedded in my DNA. I can’t recall a time when music wasn’t a part of my life. I used to drum on everything around the house. My love of music is incomprehensible; it runs deep through my veins. I’ve wanted to be a musician for as long as I can remember.”
