BLKRAW was born in Oakland, California on June 29th. He grew up, however, between Tampa, Fl. and El Centro, Ca. He was encouraged to start his career in the music industry by his now deceased brother, Sean Fuller. BLKRAW was only 17 years old when they had a car accident in 1998. He has since dedicated his time and efforts to his brother’s dream to make it in the music industry.
When you ask BLKRAW what he brings to the hip hop world, he states, “What I can bring to this hip hop world is real music from the heart and things I have been through in my life. Plus, I just have a different swag to this whole hip hop game. I write all my music. It’s real and from the heart. Most of all people will be able to relate to what I rap about in my music. “
His hip hop style is smooth, great vocals, great lyrics and great rhythm . He uses old class techniques to break the music up. This is true talent. Using the sound of drums is one good example.
The new single, “Done Somethings”, is off of his EP, P.S.T. ( Pain Sweat Tears). This single is significant because it’s based on confessions on doing bad tings in his past – “Being able to admit to doing wrong, yet not taking it back but learning from my mistakes.” This entire album follows the style and texture of the title single. You get to understand BLKRAW with every song you hear. Every song is relatable. You go through it along with BLKRAW. There is true meaning behind every track. That all exceptional hip hop feel, that groove, that sway or even swag. Yes you can hear it loud and clear. BLKRAW has it all.
BLKRAW has opened for Slip N Slides Rick Ross, in Tampa, Fl. Club 112, Nina Ski in Mexicali, Mexico and E-40 from Sick Wid It Records in El Centro, Ca.

What Artist should be featured on ARC and why?
BLKRAW bangs out high tech and an instrumental foundation in his nicely crafted ep called “Pain Sweat Tears”. His no-nonsense hip hop chops play nicely along with the synth-heavy backdrop for his rhymes. The highlights of his cd are when he gets into the musical quality, with melodic backbeats and sweet vocals.
