GUERILLA BLACK BIO

His flow is undeniable. His lyrical landscapes bring to mind the depth of a Donald Goines novel. His sly humor is as biting as a Chris Rock stand-up routine. That’s right, Guerilla Black has it all – and delivers it lovely – on the microphone. After heating up the streets of Southern California with his "Hood Affiliated Mix Tape Vol. 1," the Los Angeles rapper (government name: Charles Tony Williamson) brings us GUERILLA CITY, one of the most talked-about debut albums to surface in the hip-hop universe.

Producers on GUERILLA CITY include such street music luminaries as Jazze Pha (Big Tymers, Nappy Roots, T.I.), Carlos Broady (The Notorious B.I.G., Lil’ Kim, Nas), Red Spyda (50 Cent & G-Unit), Fred Wreck (Dr. Dre, Snoop, Westside Connection) and Mario Winans (R. Kelly, P. Diddy, 3LW). Among the guest appearances on the album are King of the Dancehall Beenie Man (on the blazin’ hot street anthem "Compton"), Nate Dogg ("What We Gonna Do"), Jazze Pha ("Girlfriend") and Mario Winans ("You’re The One").

One track that had already garnered G. Black plenty of attention is "Guerilla Nasty" (featuring rising ingénue Brooke Valentine), a driving Jazze Pha-produced cut that showcases his verbal gymnastics. His pounding, braggadocio heater "Uh Oh" had already earned spots on the playlists of both of Los Angeles’ premier hip-hop radio stations (Power 106 and 100.3 The Beat). Now that "Compton," has surfaced, G. Black is poised to explode. The cut, a head-nodding ode to the streets where he grew up, features Beenie Man, and has put the artist on the radio map. [The Gil Green-directed video takes the whole experience one step further.] The success of these tracks have set the stage for GUERILLA CITY – landing in record stores September 28 – which arrives as the L.A.-based artist continues to solidify a strong base in the underground mix tape world.

The fact that the artist has spent quality time in several markets – Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit, Miami & Atlanta among them – on his grind, meeting deejays, clubgoers and consumers, speaks to his passion for getting his message out there. The press has come to the table early to explore the story of Guerilla Black. Early features on this exciting new artist include The Source, XXL and Smooth. On the television side, he has appeared on Playboy TV, and MTV showed early interest with a ‘You Hear It First’ profile.
