Blacc Suhn's journey began in the string section of his elementary school band, so its no surprise he takes advantage of this knowledge on his latest studio project, Dead To The World Expanding on his earlier efforts with a more focused nostalgia and subtle edge, Blacc Suhn, (born Joe E. McKinney in Huntington, TN) makes happen what others have tried and failed, to accomplish a new style of hip hop that continues in all of it's greatest traditions. It's not just the music that proves diverse, the artist has developed through successfully promoting his maxi-single in Florida, performing live throughout his home turf and gaining international sales with his studio release. Blacc Suhn accomplished this by building a more electronic base, mastering percussion tools such as the 606, 808, ASR10; yet stayed true to his love of music by continuing to play keyboards. The result this time out achieves the perfect meld between real instruments and synthesized sound. his gifts with the cello allow his sound to simmer in jazz, his deep love of hip hop shines through. The influence of artists such as Wu-Tang Clan,Public Enemy, Scarface, Ice Cube and MF DOOM; produces a lyrical vibe that masters the art of storytelling and dexterous wordplay. Blacc Suhn shows what he knows through his music from Blue Collar Hustle to Blacc Suhn is...ForeverFresh to Rise of the Machines. Each project in his catalog strives for a sound that tells his story and succeeds in telling the story of hip hop.
