The Song:

D.Black once again teams up with producer Jake One to create the next addition to his album Ali' Yah. "Touch the Stars," which serves as the bonus track on the Seattle emcee's forthcoming LP, combines D.Black's soulful flow and inspiring lyrical work and Jake One's epic production with a secret ingredient. Tiffany Wilson's sweet, yet powerful voice is the perfect addition to this track, creating an uplifting sensation as she comes in to sing the chorus. D.Black makes this sensation even more potent with the uplifting message implanted within his own lyrics, while Jake succeeds in taking it a step further with a powerful, also uplifting, musical progression.

Speaking on the concept behind the track, D.Black says, "This song was for the brethren who have lacked the power of boldness, to defy the grumbling of a world who is against them and carry out the divine call. The call, to touch stars which sit in the midst of dark skies." D.Black's sophomore album title Ali' Yah is Hebrew for "to ascend." The message within this song inspires people to stand up, to ascend and to touch the stars. D.Black's new album, Ali'Yah, will be available September 15th via Sportn' Life Records / MYX Music Label.


Be sure to check out "Keep On Going," the first single from D.Black's new album, featuring and produced by Vitamin D. The beat was also recently taken by 50 Cent from an old Vitamin D beat CD and used for the track "London Girl," which is featured on 50 Cent's War Angel LP:

The Background:

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, D.Black's musical roots are deep, with his mother and father both involved in pioneering hip-hop groups in the Seattle music scene. In 2006, D.Black released his debut album, The Cause & Effect, a huge regional success, allowing the emcee to share the stage with Nas, Freeway, Bun B, Clipse, Paul Wall, The Boot Camp Click, and more. After being mentored by Vitamin D, a staple and veteran of the Seattle hip-hop scene, D.Black began making a name for himself by working on projects with producer Jake One. One such collaboration resulted in D.Black being featured on Jake One's White Van Music, on the track "God Like," helping to cement the Seattle emcee as a household name beyond the Pacific Northwest. Jake One and Vitamin D were also both instrumental in helping D.Black create his new album, offering guidance and production on the record. D.Black's new album, Ali'Yah, will be available September 15 via Sportn' Life Records/MYX Music Label.
