The Singles EP is Blacktivity's 3rd studio effort comprised of rumbling bass-lines & comfortable melodies that paints a massive backdrop for Ill-Tone's crafty lyricism. This EP reminds me of when I first fell in love with hip-hop. I will never forget this one night I stayed up super late downloading new music on my friends computer. I found so many dope artists that night, I knew I had to start a blog to showcase them. Blacktivity has that grimy, head-bobbing hip-hop that I can't get enough of.

With advances in technology geography is nothing, collaboration is effortless,and worlds can and will collide. Artists can pool their talents without ever being in the same room. Such is the case for Ill-tone and Shade Cobain, or as you will come to know them... Blacktivity.

There are striking similarities; both have paid their dues, honed their skills and both call the Midwest home. Those roots, being from the Midwest, can easily be described as Shade puts it “We put our all into whatever we do”. Call it a watchword, but one thing you will note about Blacktivity is that that statement rings true throughout the project. Each displays the skill set that proves they are at the top of their craft and details are worked out down to the lowest possible consideration. Sloppy it isn’t, nor is it taking the easy way. A well thought out and even better executed endeavor it is, Blacktivity cuts the fat off of what could be a “you give me beats, I’ll spit rhymes over them” quid-pro-quo often seen in today’s image heavy, substance lacking climate.
