Blac Scab grew up transiently, his single mother moved around a lot and spent long hours at work in order to provide for him and his two siblings. In one of his songs, he proclaims: “If I didn’t write raps, mom would lose her baby…” Growing up in both urban areas and townships informed his worldview and despite the constant hardships and degeneration of black people in townships, he used rap as an outlet to release pain and grapple with social ills. 

His first solo EP is a fusion of vernacular rap, trap and conscious hip-hop. Growing within the hip-hop culture has allowed him to explore different approaches to how he writes his music and composes his beats.
