I am Blaq Blood
Born and Bred in Mamelodi, Pretoria
this lyrically versatile microphone fiend is known to many by this stage name
of Blaq Blood (Jakalase). His love for hiphop was provoked in 94 after hearing
a track by coolio. Six years later he wrote his first of poetry piece trying to
express his feelings for one of the girls in his neighborhood; from there
writing became second nature as he found comfort in expression through poetry.
It wasn’t long until he grabbed the
mic for the very first time at function in high school. The street still knew
how to reach him getting inspiration from people like RUD, Nasty Joe and
Vandalizer. In grade nine young Blaq wrote his first hip hop verse, a year
later he had quarter of his school mates in the game. From 2003 to 2005 like a
dog unchained he ran the streets of Mamelodi invading ciphers and poetry
sessions. After getting High
school outa the way, he put on his hustle suit, expanded his game,
started lacing tracks and attended serious shows. Dr Bullet proof introduced
the young Hustler to a whole knew sound that navigated his movement from
thereon. Direction became evident when Blaq blood performed at the Pretoria
show ground where he shared the stage with press, which was when he went in to
ukhozi FM shows. He got the chance to perform at the inkhathazo 2 annual
Mamelodi music poetry concert.
His greatest highlight was when he
performed at club 55 in Pretoria. The future seemed his for the taking when he
linked up with some of his boys to form a group called Black listed, the
quickly started working on a single, getting to understand his voice better
towards the mic. After few months he became a regular at sessions called Azania
seed poetry sessions in Mamelodi. Due to the noise he was making, he got the
attention of street knowledge entertainment, an up and coming Entertainment
Company.
As a member of the knowledge family
he started putting in work on their first mixtape in preparation of his debut
album. Having recorded a few tracks, he invaded house 22 where he tore the roof
off. Back in Mamelodi he disturbs the peace at class extreme every Thursdays.
Recently toured with the Reosen and rhyme to Soshanguve and mabopane where he
left the crowd screaming for more of that Blaq blood. With for tracks done for
the street knowledge ENT mixtape, the question remains: R u Ready for JAKALASE..
