Phraseologist, poet, philosopher, and magnificent wordsmith, Columbo Black is the antithesis of what the masses fathom as a west coast rapper. Born in Hollywood, raised in Compton, Columbo etches lofty and eloquent thoughts within a style that he admits was heavily influenced by artists such as Canibus, Nas, Black Thought, and Ghostface Killah just to name a few. With a distinctively electric voice, Columbo catches the listeners attention in an instance while they cant help but become cognizant of the sheer wisdom and wit that jumps from his page. Blackness didnt pick up a pen to write until 2004, which was when he knew he was ready to execute the art he had studied exhaustively for some 20 years. He recollects the times in the dormitories at Morehouse College in Atlanta (where he got his B.A. in English) when he heard NYCE, now of Broady Champs, flow with an intensity and skill unparalled. It was then that the manipulation of words and sentences became an obsession and he wouldnt stop till he became the greatest wordsmith in Compton. In time the concept of Rapeconomy came to fruition. Rapeconomy is a concept that embraces a unified theory of flow or sentence. Here are some of the precepts: i. Anything can be rhymed whether word or phrase ii. Saying more with less iii. One should never confuse superfluousness with loftiness of phrase iv. Real skills are undeniable v. Hooks and maybe a few bars being the exception, GHOSTWRITERS ARE UNACCEPTABLE. PERIOD!!!! vi. Never mistake ob

A sista is proud of ya and always hoping the best for you. Take care and keep in touch. By the way, do you travel? Are you already a part of the Atlantis Music Conference in Atlanta this year, I think the dates are 9/19-9/22. Anyway, you probably know about it. Anyway, holla back when you get a chance. I know people have probably said "you look like J.Z. in this picture" so I won't say it. :) Hotep-Peace.

hey whats up Columbo Black!
I stopped by to tell you 2 things.
first of all, i wanna say thank you to let me in your friend list!
it made my connection expanded and let me know your music!
it's great to know you!
and next, this is totally about me though, i made my site finally!
it was one of my big step because it can give me an opportunity to let others lives in other country know Jam Kane beatz!
and at the same time, i changed the price of our beatz on soundclick more reasonable (about a half of before) and the beatz will be MORE reasonable than the ones on soundclick if you buy the beatz in the site!
most of our beatz are in there.
