Roberto Flores was born in the La Colonia area of Eden Gardens, a Mexican founded neighborhood near Solana Beach, California. In the early 1990s, he began performing under the name Lil Rob and the Brown Crowd, and recorded a single titled "Oh What a Night in the 619." Though it did not chart, it was later featured on his 1997 debut album Crazy Life, with the title shortened to "Oh What a Night." In 1994, his chin was shattered when he was shot in the jaw and in the eye later.
During his career, Lil Rob has collaborated with fellow Chicano rappers Mr. Shadow, Mr. Sancho, and OG Spanish Fly, and mainstream artists such as Paul Wall, The Game, E-40, and Pitbull. Lil Rob and Mr. Shadow were in a group called "The Mahem Click". The numbers twelve and eighteen, which are tattooed on his forearms, represent the numeric value of the letters L and R, the initials of his stage name. The number was used during his days as a graffiti tagger.
In 2002, Lil Rob left Low Profile Records and signed in to Upstairs Records. He found commercial success with the 2005 release Twelve Eighteen, Pt. 1, in which the single "Summer Nights" received national airplay, a first in his career. "Summer Nights" peaked at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #13 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. The follow-up single, "Bring Out the Freak In You," peaked at #85 on the Hot 100, and at #20 on the Hot Rap Tracks. The exposure led to small roles in the 2005 Cuba Gooding, Jr. film Dirty and the 2007 Rob Schneider vehicle Big Stan, both of which were released straight to DVD in the U.S. In 2009, his ninth album, Love & Hate, was released.
On June 29, 2007, Lil Rob made his very first appearance overseas in Okinawa, Japan. Twelve Eighteen, Pt. 2, was released in 2008 and featured the single "Let Me Come Back." featuring Fingazz, but was unable to repeat the success of its predecessor.
