Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, Shades of Black is a DIY Recording Artist & Music Producer, best known for his precise, yet creative lyricism, soulful content, and 90’s styled production.  Inspired primarily by folks like Elzhi and 9th Wonder, Haile strives to create impactful music that contrasts today’s mainstream music. With a disdain for today’s superficial Hip-Hop culture, Black creates music for those who consider themselves members of society’s counter-culture/underground, and he directly speaks to the tune of their praises and grievances. He is currently working on his second project, which follows behind his debut mixtape, “ Free White & 21”, where he addresses his grievances as an overt Black man in an overt White man’s society. He is currently looking for new opportunities as an independent artist, and you can contact him and listen to “Free White & 21”, as well as his latest single “ The World is Mine”, at www.soundcloud.com/sadesofblack
