Power Over Pressure Times Pain That's Reign!

About Me

Black Reign is an idea whose time has come... Black Reign is the revival of empowering, invigorating, feel good hip-hop music. Black Reign is a Chicago based group of producers and artists who’ve come together for the purpose of preserving the soul and integrity of the genre through honest and intensely expressive compositions.They’ve also been diligently pursuing this purpose for the past 10 plus years. At a time when it seems just about everyone is an “accomplished” artist over night, Black Reign is a group whom have grown their sound the way a vintner develops his wine-through expertise gained over time. It is this time, which is the story of the group. It is this time, which sets them apart from any other artists in the industry today. While others spend time chasing gigs and machinations that look good on paper, Black Reign has taken the time to masterfully craft a sound that impacts the soul.The group consists of three members, I-Khan (Emcee, Producer),Credo (Emcee, Producer) , and Kontre Kool (Emcee). Influences chiefly being the ultimate expression of life itself being past and present experiences. Their sound has been compared to Public Enemy, Little Brother, and Outkast just to name a few. Their collection of self produced releases include BLACK REIGN self titled EP (2000), MY WORLD EP (2002), REAL HIP-HOP LP (2003), and Hold’n Rank EP (2006). Each release being both self promoted and marketed have left an undeniable impression on their audience and are but, glares at a coming masterpiece The Burden Of Proof LP to be released in mid 2007. Along with performing at various venues in the Chicago area and logging countless hours in the studio, Black Reign has been touring musical festivals such as Scribble Jam moving CD’s hand to hand and getting feedback from actual hip-hop fans who have been very receptive to the growing momentum of the movement known as BLACK REIGN.
