EVERYBODY LUV BLACK
In the independent hip hop scene, Freddie Black (@FreddieBlack) & B Luv (@MarathonaJakk) have made a name for themselves from New England to Cali . Based out of Newport, RI, Freddie and B-Luv met as teenagers after B-Luv had moved from Philly. From a young age the two had instant chemistry on the mic, but would not pursue music together until much later. Freddie however had sought a solo career that would take him from Atlanta to the west coast. As Freddie made connections with various producers and emcees, he would ultimately  release his mixtape "X-Files" featuring verses from B-Luv among others. With the reception of their head turning verses on the tracks Zonin' and The Chat, the two joined together under the duo, Everybody Luv Black. ELB is slated to released their debut self titled LP "Everybody Luv Black" in the summer of 2014. The project is produced by veteran beatsmith SpliftOut (@SpliftOut), who has worked with the likes of M.O.P., Lord Finesse, Stevie J and more.
