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.
“FAKE” is available now on all music streaming services!

Hieroglyphics drop new single/announce new LP
Hiero is back! Fresh off their international Hiero 360 Tour, the Oakland, CA super-crew has announced their first release in over thirteen years! All Said And Done will be released on 9/3/26 and the album’s first single “Drum Talk” is now available on all streaming platforms.
“Drum Talk” features an all-out lyrical smoke session from Casual, Souls Of Mischief members Phesto Dee and Tajai as well as Del The Funky Homosapien.

Speaking on the forthcoming album (the first official Hieroglyphics release since 2013 mixtape The Kitchen) Del beamed “It’s like the best-case scenario, the way it’s working. I love it! It’s working better than I even could have imagined.”
Formed out of the Bay Area, Hiero includes Casual, Souls Of Mischief (a quartet composed of A-Plus, Opio, Phesto and Tajai), Del The Funky Homosapien, Domino, DJ Toure and Pep Love. The crew announced their presence to the world on the track “Burnt“, the B-Side to Del The Funky Homosapien’s 1991 single “Mistadobalina.” However, it was the 1993 release of Del’s sophomore album, No Need For Alarm, Souls Of Mischief’s debut album, 93’ Til Infinity and Casual’s 1994 debut, Fear Itself that solidified their skills to hip-hop fanatics worldwide. Label frustrations and politics spurred the formation of their own label, Hiero Imperium. In 1998 Hieroglyphics released their debut album Third Eye Vision. This was followed by 2003’s offering, Full Circle.
