Over the last four years, Gino Black has definitely elevated his sound as a record producer as well as being deliberate in showcasing his lyrical abilities as a premiere rap artist. In addition to hip-hop/rap music, he also produces electronic dance music, alternative rock and he also composes orchestral and ambient music for film, tv and other media.

On his latest release, Gino Black is full on balls to the wall focused. He has a clear and concise message to his listeners. MOTIVATE. ELEVATE. LEVITATE. CELEBRATE. While he cautions, “Don’t celebrate to soon while your building on success…”; he commands like a drill like a drill sergeant as he instructs us to first MOTIVATE ourselves through internal bravery from within. Then he advises us to ELEVATE ourselves mentally and our circumstances via hard work, sacrifice and discipline. After which point he tells us to “LEVITATE”; and what that means is to rise above the stress, negativity and BS of life. According to Gino Black, “...it is ONLY after we have achieved true individual success from our efforts can we CELEBRATE. Celebrating your wins too soon (while in progress) can be a hindrance for additional growth and expansion.”

“LEVITATE” is a very unique record in that it has subtle nuances of peacefulness within the sonics of the production, but at the same time, it quickly and energetically and viscerally livens up and gives the listener a sensation of supercharged battery pack of energy. Listening to “LEVITATE” makes you feel like you can accomplish anything!

Just in time for Spring fever, Miami based producer/artist, Gino Black delivers one hell of a smash with his new single release, “FRENZY”. With this new song he has created a song that has an infectious unrelenting beat full of interesting additives. “FRENZY” is kind of a party record, but it also sounds menacing, provocative and incendiary. The raw emotion of this song is in pure beast mode. Gino Black is literally committing verbal assault with him firing lyrical shots at several anonymous bullet catchers. He spits rhymes about his lengthy journey, ultimate growth and ascension as an independent artist. He also speaks to his resentment towards the ‘haters’ he has encountered along the way. This entire track is pretty aggressive and quite intense; which means it just might be a great addition to anyone’s gym workout playlist. The beautiful thing about Gino Black‘s songs is that he still manages to include some positively motivating commentary and he does it well on “FRENZY”.
