Bio

A breath of fresh air in an industry in need of change, Philly Black is real and true to form. Benefiting from the golden era of hip hop, Philly Black is a throwback with a timeless flow. To quote one fan “Philly Black’s music is unique because he tells it like it is.” Listening to Philly Black’s melodic surf is like cruising 95 with the top dropped feeling the breeze. Like a surgeon, Philly Black’s lyrical precision over tight beats can repair a stiff neck, as you won’t be able to stop the head-nod. Philly Black started his career with the group Urban Theory under Black Rose Records (Tongduchon, Korea). Urban Theory recorded their debut album which was well received overseas (1999). Philly Black returned to the states in November of 1999 where he took time to reinvent himself. Philly Black is ready to answer the call of the weary eared hip hop fan yearning for real hip hop.
