D-BLACK

A Bronx Tale

About Me

D-Black always found himself being "the new kid" either in school or in the neighborhood. He was born in the Polo Ground Houses in Harlem, NY during the mid 80's. It was a time where violence, drug abuse & poverty were at its highest. By age 6, he had already witnessed two murders up close. To find solace for his family, his father would move them around four times throughout the greater Harlem region before being evicted. This would cause the family to be forced into the Family Homeless Shelter System. While in the system, they would be moved around an additional three times throughout the Bronx. Since D-Black was always "the new kid" it made proving himself unavoidable. He would engage in foul play and wrong doings not for fun but because of necessity to provide for himself when in a bad situation. After word got to his father that his son was involved in criminal activity, he would teach Black to write down his frustrations and other feelings he had bottled up. This was a method his father had learned in prison during his 4 year stint in the 70's. One day Black heard his older cousin D-Dave spit and he decided to follow suit. In high school, he was often found in ciphers making the crowd go crazy with his punch lines and lyrical versatility. Getting tired of looking for good beats to rap on, he decided to start producing beats himself. Currently enrolled in college taking music management courses and co-hosting a radio show (Vroom Vroom Variety Hour), he is preparing to become more than a triple threat in the industry. With his introductory single “I Know You Wanna” picking up buzz and his album tentatively titled “A Bronx Tale” in the works, 2007 looks like history in the making for D-Black. As he always says, “You Can Have Now, I'm The Future Of The Game". PUT YOUR BIO SECTION HERE! Changes may take up to 2 mins to show on your profile

Artist Vs. Producer

People most often think of me as a producer before an artist because I am always updating the beats on my page and I rarely put up new songs. Let me clarify: I have been rapping since I turned 11 and ...
