Formerly known as Exodus-Omega, DJ Exodus, Scratchmaster X, Black Thor, and DJ Paradigm, Godhand★Black is also a regional performer with hundreds of live shows over the years, including the Kentucky State Fair, Peak Summit Festival, Portland Festival, and Insomniac-a-thon.

In 2010, he appeared on Yung Miss' track "Nod Ya Head Musick" on the hit underground mixtape 'DJ RPM Present The Showcase Vol. 169', which garnered positive reviews on music blogs worldwide. Starting 2014 with a bang, Godhand★Black had 3 January song releases on 4 different mixtapes ("Keep On Pushing" ft/ Three Words appearing on 'Hood Games Vol. 4 by DJ Insane' and 'Welcome To Germany by Three Words', "Up At The Club" ft/ Dutch Diamond, Chuck Tone, and D Nice appearing on 'DJ Bankrupt Presents The End Game', and "Don't Stop Now" ft/ Big Beat appearing on 'The Indie Top 50 EDM Edition Vol. 1'). He then followed up in February with another mixtape 'My Better Half' hosted by Three Words, featuring "Rock Wichu" by Tequila ft/ Godhand★Black. 

His song "Keep On Pushing" ft/ Three Words, which appeared on 3 separate mixtapes, became an international underground hit, gaining airplay and press coverage in the United States, UK, Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Netherlands, Nigeria, Austria, South Africa, Hungary, Croatia, Senegal, Ukraine, Cameroon, Latvia, Liberia, Madagascar, Gabon, Haiti, Mauritius, Chad, Jamaica, Ghana, and many other nations.

Godhand★Black’s mixtape 'Rap Major' featured the songs "On Lock" ft/ Marka and "Up At The Club" ft/ Dutch Diamond, D Nice, & Chuck Tone, along with a song that he remixed for Chuck Tone ft/ Three Words & Spyda called "Don't”. He followed it up with another mixtape 'Fukhandoutz We Standout Vol. 1: Hustler Edition' featuring the song "Lemme Hold Suhn" by Yung Miss ft/ Godhand★Black. Godhand★Black then released the song "Drinks Up" on the 'B.R.E.A.D. Media Presents Time To Eat Vol. 1' mixtape. The song caught on so well that DJ Jiggi Marley in Kingston, Jamaica created a mixtape called 'Drinks Up' that featured the title song along with 5 other previously released songs. Also a jazz composer, Godhand★Black has released a single, “Fireflies In The Moonlight”, which Louisville Music News describes as reminiscent of Chick Corea.
