Black Mantis Music Group is one of the many Indie ventures that has and will continue to grace that planet of Brooklyn. Our goal is to contribute to the underground a healthy assortment of music with volitile lyrics, songs, vocals, and artist that stimulate an almost tribal-like collaboration of the mind, body and soul, that leds to the thinking and movement of individual cells that uniformly collaspse and destroy histories without merit, systematically decomposing belief systems that oppose the balance of life and death as designed by the creator of all things HIPHOP and beyond... a LOVE for the art of musical expression can stimulate the creation of beautiful sounds that effect each person differently...the same can be said of any art medium one would choose to employ throughout the quest to stimulate the human mind. The works features on the page is an example of that truth; and is in no way an attempt to profit from the labor of the many talented individuals involved in the end product. It remains an Opportunity to share an auditory vision with those who care to listen....
