Brandon C. Rodegeb, better known as B-12 (born October 9, 1977) is a music executive, film maker, and rap artist.
The youngest son of a single mother with two brothers (one murdered in 1994) and a sister, Brandon was interested in music when very young.
He also made an album that featured several west coast artists including: MC Eiht, Celly Cel, Taydatay, 11/5, Young Droop, San Quinn, Luni Coleone, M.O.G., Jay Tee, Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., Skee 64, Young Dru, Da' Unda' Dogg and also Eightball, who is from Memphis, Tennessee.
In 2002 B-12, Jay Tee & Young Dru formed the group Free Agents and released the album Negotiations on 40 Ounce Records.
The project is described as "a loosely knit group of 'rap comrades' who came together to make a statement about independence and ownership in a turbulent time in the music industry."
