Big Qweezy, Sho Nuff and L.U.V. formed Black Reign in 1999 in Virginia Beach, VA at TMH Studios. They later went on to create QSL Entertainment as a means to produce material with an array of Hampton Roads' local artists. While they've continued to write and record individually and with others, Black Reign has not recorded as a group since 2015. January of 2020 marked the 20 year Anniversary of the group's first CD release, Downpour, which contained their most popular single, Dope Hits.
