BLAX Live.

We had been posting music from the New York by way of Milwaukee emcee BLAX (going by Adebisi at the time) before we linked up last year to present his project The Blaxploitation. Since then, we've put out three dope projects (including The Blaxploitation II and BLAX x LIFE x FILES) and formed a great working relationship. Today to mark one year since that partnership, BLAX releases some cool live performance video from his show at Mad Planet in Milwaukee last year. Also, if you haven't checked the new single Internet Sex, do that. And be on the look out for the director's cut video April 30th, filmed and edited by Darren Cole. In the meantime, enjoy the music. Chea!

BLAX Gears Up For 2012

Photo by Dirty Souf Yankee

Rising star and unsigned rapper BLAX rings in the New Year off the heels of a breakthrough 2011. After only one year in the Big Apple, the Milwaukee native has quickly established himself as a true talent and force in the New York City hip-hop scene.

The Brooklyn-resident is fresh off a highly-visible and accomplished year. In addition to
releasing two fan-favorite mixtapes – The Blaxploitation Part I & II – BLAX, formerly referred
to as Adebisi, received a complimentary review from former music executive and tastemaker Jeff
Sledge on the respected allindstrom.com.

Adding to his momentum, BLAX was selected by allhiphop.com as one of the “Top 25 Unsigned
Artists of 2011”.

“Being recognized by industry mainstays Jeff Sledge and allhiphop.com means that all the work
I’ve put into my career is paying off,” stated BLAX. “People are starting to take notice and it’s
truly humbling.”

Describing his music as adult-contemporary hip hop, BLAX brings a fresh perspective to the
industry. Armed with a smooth delivery and soulful lyrics, BLAX takes listeners on a feel-good,
socially stimulating ride through his life experiences, hopes and dreams.

BLAX returns to the stage this week, Thursday, January 5th, for his first performance of 2012 at
Greenwich Village favorite, Grisly Pear (107 MacDougal). For more information on the show,

What I'm Watching: Adebisi "Closer"

A blue collar-working-dad. The homie Adebisi and I have a lot in common. And I guess at this stage in our lives, we're both a little closer to our dreams. Adebisi returns with another track off of his TMB presented Blaxploitation mixtape. "Closer" is one of my favorite cuts, with its very self-reflective tone. Shot by BeardsxFreckles, enjoy another guerrilla-style-shot video from the NYC by way of Milwaukee emcee. Chea!

What I'm Watching: Adebisi "F-ck The Dollar"

The homie Adebisi is like family. I've been handling a bit of his digital game and TMB just co-sponsored his latest mixtape The Blaxploitation, which you should DEFINITELY have in your life right now. Ha!

Anyway, Adebisi linked up with SigNif (yes, the NYC by way of Milwaukee emcee) and shot a video last week with Sig getting her John Singleton on by directing, shooting and editing the visuals for "Fuck the Dollar." Put together in just 24 hours, the video is for one of my favorite tracks on The Blaxploitation. The homie is definitely very talented. Look out for more music coming soon. In the meantime, enjoy. Chea!

Adebisi has also been shooting a series of video blogs. You can check those out at www.youtube.com/theblaxlifetv

BLAX and The Mad Bloggers Presents: Adebisi "Blaxploitation"

The full project is finally here. I know somewhere Adebisi is relieved to finally have this project out, considering it's been in the works for sometime now.

I've told this story a few times about how I stumbled into Adebisi's music. I don't recall the exact moment, because it was either his 80's Babies mixtape or being the front man of Fresh Cut Collective, but either way I do remember the first reaction being, "dude is dope."

A few months back Adebisi reached out to us about getting behind his latest mixtape, Blaxploitation. I didn't hesitate to agree. This project is very much a mixtape in it's traditional sense of borrowed beats, with a few originals. It's a quality offering from the Wisconsin native who is now living in NYC. It's a great re-introduction as Adebisi preps for a full length album (which is mostly done) and another project after that. I'm not sure when he's gonna sleep. Ha!

Anyway, check out and enjoy the BLAX and TMB presented Blaxploitation. Chea!

Check It ... Adebisi "Bloody Murder" (off the Blaxploitation Mixtape)

I always forget when I first heard Adebisi rhyme. It was either his 80's Babies mixtape or his work as the front man of Fresh Cut Collective. While I can't pin down the exact time or project, what I do remember is his distinct voice and flow. And then there's the lyrical word play from the Wisconsin native who is now living in NYC. I've been a fan of Adebisi's sound ever since.

When Adebisi approached me a few months back about getting behind his Blaxploitation mixtape I didn't hesitate because I know the quality of Adebisi's work. So, with that said, check out the first joint off of BLAX and TMB presented Blaxploitation. "Bloody Murder", produced by DJ Charlie Hustle, is a dope track that shows you the type of energy (and quality) that's on the Blaxploitation mixtape. Look out for Blaxploitation coming soon. In the meantime, enjoy "Bloody Murder." Chea!
