For the record, Blake’s the one on the right.
In a year that has already seen a new crop of talent offer Hip-Hop a blood transfusion, another artist may soon be ready to add his name to that list. Instead of adopting a moniker, the young man from Northern Virginia (with ties to Oklahoma) decided run with the name his mama gave him 22 years ago — Blake Kelly. Read the rest of this entry »

Then it’s either make a hit of your own that sweeps across the board or hijack the latest, greatest song of the moment to get your buzz circulating. But considering that there’s already a thousand or so treading the same boulevard, sometimes you have to wish upon your lucky star for that extra boost.

His deliberate yet detailed delivery, flow across the music with the power of reason as well as the rhyme and with the majority of the production helmed by Black Spade of jack-my-beat-and-lie-about-it fame, you know the total package is equally soulful as it is stimulating.
