LETS DIVE STRAIGHT INTO BLA$TA'S LATEST VIDEO RELEASE 'Black BOX' FT. ACITO
BORN AND RAISED IN RICHMOND, CA BLA$TA CAME UP RAISED BY HIS GRANDMOTHER. WITH HIS MOTHER DEALING WITH PERSONAL ISSUES AND FATHER INCARCERATED, BLA$TA WAS RAISED OLD SCHOOL. WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR HIS OLD SOUL.
BLA$TA HAS BEEN RAPPING FOR SOME TIME. ORIGINALLY HIS RAP MONIKER WAS B.E.C, BUT WHILE INCARCERATED IN FEDERAL PENITENTIARY, HE BEGAN TO AWAKEN HIS HIGHER FACULTIES AND WAS MENTORED IN THE CRAFT OF RAP BY FELLOW INMATE 'DOOBIE'. AS A RESULT, HE TOOK MUSIC MORE SERIOUS, AND IN 2011 HE TOOK THE HANDLE BLA$TA.
