MUSIC (CLICK)
CLICKIn this day and age of Hip Hop music, it is hard to find an M. C. who is just nice and even harder to find and artist who can take it back to the day's of blunts, forty's, beat's, and ryhmes. Well search no further cause Black is back. BlackAttack(aka. Sean Boston) is the m.c. we've been longing for. Cool as a fan but rugged as hell when necessary, Black has a flow only the best of artist's can comprehend. He may not be a Jay z, or a Jadakiss, or even a 50 cent, but I guarantee he can flow with the best of them. Born in upper manhattan but raised on Roosevelt Island, Black was just your average kid. A momma's boy at heart Black strived to be down. Not as wild as others, his size and personality made him part of the crew. By the time he was 13 Black decided he wanted to be a rapper. Flowing for his friends and battling in school, he became very confident in what he was doing. He got his first chance to prove himself at Grandmaster D's(of Whodini) birthday party in 1993. Alongside such pioneers as Kool G Rap and Nice and Smooth, Black put on the performance of a lifetime requiring an encore. After succesfully conqeuring his first task as an m.c., Black got with the group S.O.P(smoked out productions). S.O.P consisted of four m.c.'s and a crew as deep as the Wu-Tang Clan. The group became an instant underground favorite. The S.O.P stickers could be seen everywhere from lightpoles and buses in NYC to garbage cans and palm trees in Miami. After a hit single and a ton of outside interference, S.O.P split up. Then, through mutual contacts, Black met Al Tariq(formerly Fashion of the Beatnuts). Tariq had just left the Beatnuts and was working on his album God Connections. Black fit right in and got down with Tariq's manager Peter Kang, and ultimately signed a single deal with Correct Records. Holdin' it down/Verbal attack feat. Problemz became an instant underground classic. Getting spins on Bobbito and Stretch, Hot 97, the song finally hit the wall of fame in L.A. on power 106. Thinking he was on his way Correct Records flopped. Black had already established himself well enough to move on so he did, hooking up with V.I.C of the Ghetto Pros. Black then dropped the single My Crown which also became a hot item in the underground rap world. While working with V.I.C, Peter Kang introduced Black to D.J. Honda. Honda was working on his first U.S. album H1, and Black was pleased to lace the album with the gritty but blazin' song Fuk Dat. Honda also resided on Roosevelt Island so it wasn't long before the two hooked up. Black was then introduced to an up and coming label called Pentagon Entertainment. Black was now working harder than ever recording with Dj Honda while putting out another single with Pentagon. My Word(produced by Sean C)/Fuck is going on(produced by The Alchemist.) Just as Black and the label began to make progress, the ceo. was murdered. Another opened door that led to a dead end for Black. With V.I.C on his side and Dj Honda set to start H2, Black never dreamed about stopping. By that time Black and Honda recorded numerous tracks that were ready for wax. Black's features on H2 included two solo tracks and a posse cut alongside Cuban Linx, JuJu(of the beatnuts), A.L, Al Tariq, Problemz. With H2 set for release, Black hooked up with Al Tariq for Al Tariq's European tour. Tariq being big over seas, was gracious enough to bring Black along. Tariq and Black made the trip a success blazing stages from Italy to Germany. They spent two weeks in Europe and came home ready to make it happen. By that time Honda released H2 in Japan and was set to leave on a two week promotional tour in Japan. "Blaze it up", one of Black's features on H2 was set to be the second single released off his album. So Black accompanied Honda to japan to promote H2 and his single Blaze it up. Upon returning from japan they decided to shoot the video for Blaze it up. With Blaze it up already the second single off the japanese release of H2, the U.S. version was ready to go. The first single was "On the mic" which featured Cuban Linx, JuJu, AL, Al Tariq, Problemz, and Black. The video was a success getting play daily on rap city. Black, Tariq, and Problemz then took off on the H2 tour which hit such spots as, L.A., San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Canada, and New York. Honda then left Sony and Black, Tariq, and Problemz formed the group Missin' Linx. Again the buzz was out, the group was hot, but to no avale. Black found himself in the same spot he was in when he first started, nice as ever but with no deal. After turning down numerous deals for himself to keep it real with others, Black finally felt the ship sinking. After doing a new years eve show in japan, and coming home to the same nonsense, Black felt enough is enough. With nothing going right and everything going wrong Black put the pen away and called it quits. That was then, and this is now"it's a new day the sun is up now, i'm back in town and my ones is up now". Taking that as a quote from one of the new bangers Black has put together since his return. Watch out world the god is back and the game is wide open. Watch for BlackAttack to solitify his spot as one of the best to ever do it.
