Biography

The Rapper…
Blackstar used to be a member of the underground rap group “The Pretty Young Pimps” or “PYP” with Popcorn from the Lower East Side, NYC. He is now branching off and organizing his own Label.

The group “Blackstar”…
Blackstar was formed after the demise of Carcass, with their one album, Barbed Wire Soul, continuing in the vein of Carcass’ Swansong (i.e. away from the grindcore of that band’s early works). In some areas the album has been released under the band name Blackstar Rising, presumably for legal reasons and apparently without the knowledge of the band itself (versions of the album can be found under both names). Drummer Ken Owen fell victim to a brain hemorrhage during recordings for a second album, and with him unable to continue, the band folded. Owen has since been reported as getting better.

Blackstar is also a jungle crew with varied members of Congo Natty led by Rebel MC

    I Listen to both metal and rap. They're both complete different to each other it's like comparing eating a sandwich to reading a book or comparing watching sesame street to watching A siberian Film (look it up.) :D

    Actually, there some bands who mixed metal with hip-hop. (i.e.: Stuck Mojo, 311, etc ) Think they’re not antagonist.

    The description clearly denotes which band is referenced here. It's rather sad so many of the people commenting here are from developed nations and yet they can't even read a few simple sentences before spouting their ignorance.

    Most played songs are by Mos/Kweli, it's clear who the best BlackStar is.
