DON'T SLEEP!! - D-Black

If you're not familiar with D-Black's music by now, you will be soon. With key songs on Illmind's "Blaps, Rhymes & Life," Complex Magazine's "Leader's Of The New Cool," the "Official 2008 CMJ Mixtape," and a memorable verse on Rapper Pooh's song "Reality Check" on his album, "Rapper's Delight," he is quickly becoming a fan favorite in the streets and on blogs alike. His consistency can be witnessed in the 12 songs he released through blogsites in the month of october called the "Mr. October Series." To think, the iron is not even hot yet for the MC/Producer! With the release of his much anticipated debut mixtape, "New Black City", D-Black proves his worth to doubters, fans, and industry heads alike. Hosted by Mick Boogie and DJ Woof, and sponsored by Complete Technique, New Black City features collaborations with Skyzoo, Rapper Pooh of Little Brother and Chaundon. The production lineup includes the likes of Illmind, Khrysis, Nottz, newcomer Matik and Himself! He also drops a few gems over J Dilla, DJ Babu and Just Blaze tracks to boot. Dropping on his 22nd Birthday (12/1), D-Black hopes to begin establishing his legacy as one of the better MC's of recent memory. The sky is the limit for the young artist from the Uptown, NYC. After moving around several times as an adolescent, and even a stint in a homeless shelter, D-Black feels right at home in the music industry.

My brother plays the piano...

.. and he's sick with it! check it out folks... here is a video of my brother playing T.I.'s "Live Your Life" on the piano.. now, i know there are a slew of people who do this and post it on youtube, but in my opinion, what sets my bro apart from these other cats is that he actually incorporates the singing parts/bridges/etc into the piano pieces.. this is a great example... i think it's finally time that me and my bro collaborate on some HEAT (and i'm serious too).. enjoy!



check out more of his videos HERE

BTW: "Les Paul" is his real name, and yes, he was named after THE Les Paul, inventer of the electric guitar.. i guess it runs in the family
