Blakk North & Gino Black are sick and tired of disloyal friends and the result is their new single release called, “FAKE”!

Blakk North & Gino Black drop another collaboration on the smooth yet compelling “FAKE”. This time around the two are telling stories about fake people. Over a funky laid back groove these two lyricists discuss their social stance on truth and loyalty amongst friends and colleagues. They each tell tales of betrayal and deceit from their respective pasts. The guitar arrangement on “FAKE” is hypnotic in the way that the listener may or may not catch the social commentary at first listen. Both Blakk North & Gino Black have respectively been building quite the catalog for themselves individually as well as the multiple songs together.
Blakk North is a Cincinnati Ohio based recording artist who has been making noise regionally for many years. He’s recently seen a surge in activity and has grown an audience fan base of over 130,000 listeners within the last two years.
Gino Black is a Miami Florida based multi-genre producer and recording artist. He’s originally from Cincinnati, where he and Blakk North met. Gino Black currently has an audience of over 500, 000 listeners. He’s produced records for other artists who’ve also seen significant indie music success. And in 2021 he began releasing music as a solo artist and has seen a swift impact with his unique style of music.

DJ Design drops “I Wanna Be Free” single ft. Gennessee

Bay Area beatmaker/visual artist DJ Design returns with new single “I Wanna Be Free” (Below System Records). Washes of synth collide with a dense horn arrangement and snappin’ drums. West-Coast emcee Gennessee guests on the track spitting a lyrical dissertation on the woes of a police state, racial profiling and surveillance.

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat.
As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring
characters in the game today.
