BIO

Blake Da Future aka Blake Harris is taking his lyrical skill and momentum on an ambitious leap into the hip-hip arena. “My passion for entertainment made me want to get in the biz. I’m an entertainer. I bring nothing but energy to my set.”

This energy was definitely seen as he took his street freestyle battle skills and reputation to none other than BET’s 106 & Park’s Freestyle Friday. His charisma and flow is why he was retired as undefeated champion as there was no competitor up to the challenge of West Philly Blake’s (appearance name) quick-witted content and ability to rhyme on impulse.  Not only were the audience and viewers were impressed, but MC’s set to judge the contestants hands down gave him his accolades. This wasn’t anything new to Philadelphia native. He’s been rhyming since his days as a teen listening to his older brother kick around lyrics but notes that he didn’t take being an MC serious until being featured on his first underground mix tape.

“I decided I wanted to be an MC when I first appeared on Gillie Da Kid’s Mix-tape ‘Bang Bang Anywhere Gang’ in 2002.”

 

“I’ve always taken chances. I’ve done shows and performed at ATL Coast 2 Coast DJ Mixer. I’ve headlined at the biggest casino in the world, Foxwoods Casino. I did a show with Mike Jones in New Hampshire’s Club Junkyard. I stay grinding. Let me see… Freestyle Champ of BET 106 & Park. I’ve done S.O.B.’s in New York. So many industry mixers and the list can go on and on.” Prior to these industry known venues, Blake was heavily featured in Philly’s underground mix tape circuit appearing on DVD’s such as Big Starr, Too Raw for the Streets, Heavy Spitters, Marijuana High etc.  His ‘have show, will travel’ mentality is what will keep him viable. He’s not afraid to put in the work needed to attain the height of success.

Blake Da Future is on a mission to impact the culture with two previous mix tape releases, ‘New Year’s Eve Massacre’ and ‘Less Than God More Than Man, he is constantly working on new music and has new releases in the making. His intro POE Power over Everything, he has been on the movie soundtrack for ‘King of the Ave’ starring Hollywood heavy hitter Ving Rhames (2010).  Blake Da Future is not a punch line lyricist as he proves with in-depth content. He is young, fresh and new with a drive that is unrelenting. It is definitely easy to see how can compete with current artists and expound any boundaries set. Blake Da Future’s skill is limitless and he is musically gifted and versatile in his delivery all the while not appearing or sounding like cookie cutter artists.  He’s appeared in plays and was featured as one of the 10K artists in search across the U.S. for legendary DMC of hip-hop group Run- DMC New Alumni. From the Philadelphia underground to national television there is definitely a bright future of this artist. He said it best “Streets know me but I want to be everywhere in this game.”
