Bad Boy Records rapper Black Rob began his recording career appearing on albums like the Cru's Da Dirty 30 and collaborating with artists like L.O.X., Busta Rhymes, Lil' Kim, and Total before releasing his first album, Life Story, in early 2000. The debut featured the hit single "Whoa!" and appearances from L.O.X., Cheryl Riley, the Goodie Mob's Cee-Lo, and Carl Thomas. Though the album went platinum, it wasn't until late 2004 that new Black Rob material appeared, most premiered on mixtapes by DJ Kayslay. In 2005, the proper follow-up, The Black Rob Report, was released on Bad Boy. He served several years in prison and returned with Game Tested Streets Approved on the Duck Down label. Life Story 2 followed in 2013, the same year he co-starred in the reality television series Comeback Kings. ~ Heather Phares
