Saxophone Meets Hip-Hop: How B. Able is Rewriting Music Genres

Meet B. Able (born Breyton Croom), an LA-based saxophonist, rapper, singer, and actor who is completely reshaping how we think about hip-hop. He drops

smooth, live saxophone solos right into heavy rap tracks, creating a sound that is totally his own.

Growing up, doctors told him his autism and ADHD diagnoses would hold him back from living independently or going to college. Well, he proved them entirely wrong—not only did he master the sax, but he also walked away with a Master’s degree in Accounting.

He uses his music and his name, B. Able, to smash through labels and advocate for neurodiversity and mental health. He has huge goals—think Grammys and selling out Madison Square Garden—and he is well on his way.
