After raising hell throughout the underground rap scene in his hometown Nashville, Tennessee, Ronin Black has become a true rising star amongst the darkness he evokes through his music. Since releasing his first solo tracks to the world in 2018 he has further defined himself as an artist by his aggressive braggadocio and cinematic storytelling delivered atop eerie and melancholic instrumentals. Born Elijah McKissack, Ronin grew up in Music City, which contributes to his musical taste seeming to span across the U.S. Citing Outkast, Blackstar, and The Roots as earlier impressions, then later Chief Keef and Danny Brown, Ronin's diverse influences can be observed in his own sound as he displays a versatility throughout his own discography. A truly multifaceted artist, Ronin expands past the role of a simple lyricist/protagonist and dons the hats of director and screenwriter with his releases. The songs paired with the visuals are both visceral and unsettling, an apt and cohesive representation of a gruesome world of his creation. His meticulousness in delivering experiences to audiences brings anticipation for his upcoming project "Killcity" set to be released 2024.
