About Me

BABY BLAK "BLAK MAN IN AMERICA" LIVE FROM L&S RELEASE PARTY!!!!! RIGHT HEREPeace & Blessings to everyone that comes thru the official Baby Blak Music Page. After over 10 years of putting out quality independent records, BBlak continues to do the amazing. One half of the supergroup, Ill Advised(Baby Blak & Mr. Lish) & 1/3 of Rahsheed & Ill Advised, these Cannons are responsible for more than half of the independent renaissance of Philadelphia. "When we were putting records out, it was just us, Sat-One, Nuthouse, Tasc 4ourse(NAAM Brigade now), Ram Squad and cats from that era", says Blak. "I remember when radio stations stayed frontin' on us, but when DJ Jay-Ski hit the airwaves, he showed us love faithfully. Thats my nigga. Shit, even Wendy Williams. When she came to Power 99 in '98 and we had "1.9.8.6." out she made sure we rocked at her birthday party at Electric Factory. People hate her guts but thats my bitch! She is an offical bread getter...thoroughbred bitch. Until she disses me(laughing). Then Girl Squad is gonna be on her top!" Girl Squad is the all female promotion team provided by Baby Blak & Cinema7Multimedia Group, LLC. "Girl Squad is just some intelligent women who like quality music to the point where they put it out there by word of mouth, in the club and in the streets. Not bitches and hoes, but ladies and women. In my opinion a woman can dress scantily-clad, look good and still be respected. Us as men just need to fall back sometimes. We always play the gorilla nigga, always on the offensive. If a women is interested in you they will let it be known. Trust me fam! Make music, get money. Find talent, groom them, put out that work. Nothing becomes successful without hard work behind it. You can sleep when you die!" Good advice. Especially from someone who has worked with the likes of The Roots, Jazzy Jeff, Bono(U2), Ben Watt, DJ Revolution, Sat-One, Jill Scott, Paul Yams, Last Emperor, Dave Ghetto, Rich Medina, Lady Alma, Obie Trice, Planet Asia, DJ Rob Deniro, DJ Khaled, Malibu, Mike Down, Zuri Edwards(Patti Labelle's son), Troy Carter(Eve's Manager), Valvin Rhoane and countless others. "I have had a good run so far. Worked with some good people. Learned a great many things. But when I apply that assertive hustle to it, it just does what it has to do. I'm not looking for a handout. I finance all my own shit. From owning my own studio, to the label, to artist development. Me. I can't really depend on another human to handle my future. I got this homie!" Look for The Cinema7 imprint to make a lot of noise. "Oh the label?" says Blak. "Yup. Blak owned, Blak operated. Tanzania Lateef is the first artist to come out. A real dear friend of mine. Mad talented. Amazing range and so versatile. The Songbird Singz album is something that the world IS READY FOR. Everyone always wants to say the world ain't ready for this, blah blah blah. Negative. The world needs this musical healing right now. No disrespect to the Beyonces and Cierras of the industry. But how much dumb dumb shit are we going to have to listen to? What happened to substance and quality of our music genre? But good looking out on making that watered-down shit. It makes us look so much better. Blak Saturday is coming. I-FM Radio Vol. II is coming. Voicemail is coming. Tanzania'a 2nd LP "Pre-Heat" is coming. We working over here fam. All that tough talk and hype. Nope. Just product. The best work on the block. Period. Holla Blak!"This is what it is. PLEASE SUPPORT REAL INDEPENDENT MUSIC!!!! This is your oppurtunity to stand up! The radio is not gonna give you that authentic. The videos you stuck on that got you brainwashed on that bullshit candy pop r&bullshit is not what you need to be listening to. Please give my artist, Cinema7Multimedia Group LLC's first lady, Ms. Tanzania Lateef some love. For .99 cents a song, you cannot complain.... Come on people... On some real shit.. 99 cents.....This is the revolution, the renaissance... The Songbird.. Holla Blak. Peace, Love & Blessings..One Of The Illest Flows In The Game. Lyrical Extrodinare. Penmanship Premonition. Word For Word... Incredible.
