More info:
Blacklisted Individuals is more than a rap group. In a world where rap usually paints a false picture of normal life, we are that fresh breath of air that people are dieing ,literally, to get. Blacklisted is not interested in what is popular. We are interested in the real situation politically, socially, economically, and spiritually. Music is just a platform for the message we give. We consider ourselves to be the voice of the people who are not represented in the mainstream of music. After failing numerous times trying to fit in that box we never could get fulfillment from it. There was a time when we were both solo artists about to quit. Then we got together and decided to make our own box. We can do what everybody else does and be successful at it, but dumbing down to sell CDs is degrading to us as artists and we would rather have a handful of die hard fans than have a million fans that want us to get on the mic and act dumber than what we are. It ain't about the money. It's about the music and just as long as we had the opportunity to say what was on our mind and a few people listen, then all those years were worth it. “We make music that empowers all, we promote awareness, But we are outcasts ourselves. So we will never forget the struggles and victories that have got us where we are" - BLI 2003
