Robert ‘B-Cide’ Cardillo II has been featured on 170+ news outlets including Yahoo Finance, Digital Journal, and Benzinga via his work as a Rapper, producer, and author of Myelin My Shoes—a raw, unfiltered memoir about life with MS, mental health battles, and the 25-year underground music grind. This no holds barred discussion about the Music Industry and overcoming health adversities lead to hopeful talk about his 2026 comeback and inspired Rick’s performance of “We Can’t Make It Here” combining Rick’s original Jazz Stylings with James McMurtry’s Lyrics.

The man they call “B-Cide” is a rapper, producer, clothing designer, and author of Myelin My Shoes, a memoir about life, music, and resilience after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. With over two decades in the underground scene, he shares raw, real stories about perseverance, creativity, and pushing forward when life hits hard.
B-Cide has been a rapper, producer, and entrepreneur for over 25 years. He’s toured across the country, released countless tracks, and built a loyal following without ever selling out. But in 2011, his life changed forever when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
He went from touring and running stages to being in a wheelchair with 24-hour care. But he never stopped creating. He pivoted into building a streetwear brand, 55 Strong, and recently dropped my memoir, Myelin My Shoes. It’s raw, real, and brutally honest, about my music career, the challenges of living with MS, and how he kept reinventing myself through it all.
This isn’t just a disability story. It’s not just a music story. It’s about survival, reinvention, and grit. He speaks to creatives who’ve hit walls, people living with invisible illnesses, and anyone who’s ever felt knocked down by life and had to crawl their way back up. His story resonates because it’s lived, not packaged.
He brings a unique perspective to shows that focus on entrepreneurship, creativity, music, disability, and mental resilience. Whether it’s inspiring an audience or getting real about what it takes to keep moving forward, he’s here for honest, powerful conversations, and a comeback in 2026!
