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.

“He gave you power. I made you fresh though.” DJ Exes and his production partner Slamming Gavel Music drop new single “Material Things” (with accompanying video treatment). An ambitious storytelling joint, the track is a continuation of Nas’s classic “I gave you power” which was told from the point of a gun. Exes and Gavel’s track, is the viewpoint of the gun owner’s treasured pair of Air Force One sneakers.

“Material Things” is taken from The Gavel & The Guillotine LP which is on all streaming platforms now.
Another single from the project “Criollo Vernacular” recently dropped with video Directed by Box-Lo. Flexing his conceptual muscles Exes uses this track comparing his craft to a culinary master does in the kitchen. As he says “Salsa Criolla is a vibrant sauce used in a variety of dishes in Puerto Rican cuisine. Like the combination of tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and garlic, this track is a mix of Spanish and English rhymes over the hard boom bap production.”

The culmination of a friendship that formed as Exes recalled “in 1992 through one of his closest friends. Slamming Gavel is the cousin of Grand Phunk aka Big Stats frm The Lastrawze. He came down to visit Stats who I was in school with at the time and we instantly connected over our love for hiphop, kungfu flicks, and just buggin out. We’ve been friends ever since. The Slamming Gavel didn’t start producing until years later but when he finally let me hear something, the fire was lit.”
Listeners will also know DJ Exes as the main mouth of Spanglish Boom-Bap triumvirate Grupo HNE (pronounced Henny) with Producer DJ Heron and multi-instrumentalist Nando (percussion, keyboards, vocals). As well as a sizable discography, mixtapes and live event DJ work of his own.
