Born Kenneth Lateef Brewton, B.L.A.K.E. Eerie’s avant-garde music style is inspired by a substantial number of artists from different genres of music, from Marvin Gaye to Devin the Dude. B.L.A.K.E., born and raised in the city of Detroit, performs music that reflects the struggle he has experienced within his city limits. The very first solo project, the Been Livin’ And Keep Entertainin’ street album, came to life in 2006 and featured guest artists like Baatin (Slum Village); Leaf Erikson and Dak (AutoPilots); and Ace the Relentless (Final Judgment Ent.).
