Black Spade Entertainment is an independent music franchise with dreams of expanding and having B.S.E. offices and B.S.E. labels on both coast and down south. Black Spade Ent. was conceived by the chance meeting of Richard (JR) Hobson and Zack (MS) Fortin in their high school construction class. The two started talking and discussing they plans and they came on the subject of music and realized that they both had the same dream. It wasn't until probably a little ways into their 2nd semester that they really started to put their plan into motion. So in early 2004 the two headed up Nine Records and started in on their mix tape debut Street Bangers vol. 1. But everything wasn't good in the Nine Records camp. Due too some hostility from some of the members and fights over creative control the label fell apart. Yet still JR and Zack didn't quit. They started up another project called Black Spade Entertainment. They didn't just want to form another record label because they just didn't want to be limited to only making music. They wanted to be able to explore other avenues if they wanted to. Now starting completely from scratch just the two of them went to work on a newer version of their mix tape debut Street Bangers vol. 1. Word of the new label spread round and a lot of people were talking about it. JR also went around creating buzz for the new label by battling other fellow emcees. But their bad luck wasn't over yet. Street bangers vol. 1 was never released due too some unseen events that happened. Yet broken again the two were determined not to give up. They set at their project again just this time it was whole new grounds. The two of them ended up moving down too Florida. The label is now based in Daytona Beach out of the home of JR. Once down there JR was determined to get this mix tape out. So he ditched all his old music from Street Bangers vol. 1 and started all over. within a few months he was ready to drop the mix tape now called Yah Heard vol. 1. The mix tape was a huge hit online. It had 2 really big stand out tracks. One called "fuck 50" which was a diss track towards 50 cent and something new JR had never done be for a R&B track called "call me" which was about his rocky relationship with his girl at the time. As of right now everything is looking real good for the emerging label. JR is hard at work on NEW mix tapes just something is different now. MS is no longer apart of the label due to some wrong decisions and career moves. But don't worry JR the lone artist and only surviving founder is still grinding and refuses to let it DIE. In the near future he hopes to land a MAJOR distribution deal and put out the music on a more worldwide level instead of just doing it on an independent level. After all this upcoming label has been through the motto "Its More Then Music, Its Family Business" really fits because only a family could go through this and still stay strong
