Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We started as DJs and MCs in Zimbabwean streets, parties and clubs. BlackLab back then had only two members, Bonslag & Major C.This was in the early 90s, and we were still in primary school. We stopped djing when we were going secondary school, coz at this time most of us were going to boarding schools hence we could not be together.BlackLab came back in the scene in June 2005, bigger, with more artists and a riddim driven compilation called "Luckspin Riddim". And in less than a year we had done collaborations with international groups like ABRA and a lot of collaborations with big Zimbabwean artists.
