Joseph Black is a 27-year-old rapper, singer, and producer from Minnesota whose breakout hit “i hope you miss me” is a RIAA-certified Gold record, with over 500 million views and streams across streaming platforms and social media.

Music began as Joseph’s escape during a difficult youth marked by bullying, and at 18 he left high school to fully pursue his craft. By 21, his viral single cemented him as a powerful new voice in hip-hop, known for his raw honesty and emotional storytelling.

Now a born-again disciple of Jesus Christ, Joseph’s music reflects his journey of pain, redemption, and faith. His upcoming album, “Untold Stories: Burdens & Beliefs”—set to release in late 2025—marks a new chapter, blending his signature sound with a message of hope and spiritual awakening.

In house music curator at Goldenvoice & Coachella.

Because of the way the music industry is structured, there's too much good music out there that doesn't get the attention it deserves. Also, I just want others to be able to feel the same things I feel when I listen to music. Because I feel pretty damn good. 

So, I make playlists on Spotify at sptfy.com/samschoonover. I also do some reposting here on Soundcloud.

In a Soundcloud full of repost spam, I only share music that I actually like. The purpose of this channel is not to grow and get bigger, it's to help deserving artists reach more ears, and to help people find music they'll love. Questions? Comments? Party invites? Hit me up.
