Lil Blak was born in Gambia and moved to the UK at the age of 6. He has been living in Brighton on the south coast of England ever since, where he started rapping when he was 14 years old having his 1st performances in Slip Jam B with his crew "Brotherhood".
Shortly afterwards the crew members moved in different musical directions and he started concentrating on his solo career at the very young age of just 15! At first he was heavily influenced by the likes of Dr Dre, focusing mainly on gangster rap but has developed his own unique style over the years which can only be described as a mixture between RnB Slow Jams & double-time lyricism with influences from the UK Grime scene.
He has worked with a number of underground MC's & Producers; always trying to push the bar up when it comes to UK Hip Hop. He aims at creating new flavours and styles by bringing together all the elements of British Urban Music & American Hip Hop, thus propelling rap music to the next generation.
Lil Blak has currently finished working on his Solo Mix tape called Don’t Be a Target after having flooded the web with free MP3 downloads & audio streams such as Pagin Me featuring Breakthrough. It features guest performances by Breakthrough, Kagey & Brighton's upcoming Grime artist Candyman, and was launched in summer 2008 and as a sign of good gesture Blak decided to make the Mix tape a free download for his beloved fans.
Now at 20, Blak has already worked with a lot of influential artists both in UK & Gambian artists alike including artists like Martin Luther King, ST aka Street Thug, Lady Jack. He recently did a mind blowing remix on the Why Rid dim ft Ras Askia & Jah Youth called (Tell Me Why Remix) which is to be released by Gambuster Records later in the year the preview is available .
