Bio
Philly Black has been a student of the art since he was introduced to the
world of Hip-Hop in the early 90's a time when Hip Hop was peaking gaining
notoriety and world renown recognition. So what does Hip-Hop stand for? Ask
a true hip-hop head that question and he/she will tell you that Hip-Hop
stands for "Higher Infinite Power Healing Our People" empowering the people
by speaking to the "psyche the soul of the people" uplifting the spirit
positively affecting the mind to reach greater levels; Philly Black has
maintained the hip-hop culture in a time where the lines between hip-hop
and rap has been blurred. Listen closely to the music that Philly Black
creates and you can hear the ancestors speaking to a people who's struggles
continue in a world where everything is hidden by the image one creates.
During his career Philly Black has released three independent albums Who I
Be (2013), Therapeutic Intervention (2011), Mind Over Matter (2009), and
have been featured on a compilation album titled "Ghetto Rising" which was
released on the South Korean Record Label Black Rose Records (1999) and
various mix tapes; Philly Black is currently finishing up his fourth album
titled "Black Thoughts A Clear & Present Danger."
"On this album I speak about life as I see; I touch on a wide range of
issues that we deal with on a daily basis and how through the struggles of
everyday life one can still come out on top by really looking into the
mirror and evaluate themselves honestly; working hard to fix those issues
overcoming the adversities continuing to move forward no matter what life
obstacles may come their way. "
Philly Black is scheduled to release the first single tilted "Knight In
Shining Armor" by the end of June a lighthearted track just in time for the
summertime love affair; in the mean time I urge you to take the time to
listen to some of Philly Black's music and enjoy some of the most true to
form hip-hop music created to date. Philly Black's music will definitely
have you sipping on your favorite drink while sitting back and reflecting
on how things once was and can be again.
