to Philadelphia , Pennsylvania, for a better way of life at the
age of four. Without the presence of his father, Blak and his mother
soon arrived to North Philly to the "Badlands". At this time the
eight track cassettes, jumpsuits, and disco were king. An unexpected
revolution was being staged. The way people lived there everyday
life through rapping , djing , dancing, and graffiti, would soon
be known as hip hop. As a child, Keith used this to entertain himself
and friends with rhymes he wrote and found it was a good way to
impress the girls. Living On Darien and Lehigh Ave., he came up
with Darien Antonio (known today as Red Dog) and formed an undeniable
friendship that stands today. Forming the group A.K. A ., influenced
by Run DMC, Keith, Darien and friend AC preformed there first show
at a carnival. After graduated from Thomas Edison High School, Keith
looked for direction in life. So he did what had to be done and
turned to the streets to support his family, being fortunate not
to face incarceration. This mind sparking ,wordsmith who's past
pen names included King Kato, and Black, have now had a shadow cast
on him by the name Blak Nitty. The name "Nitty" was choose from
the notorious gangster Al Capone's right hand man Frank Nitty. Blak
describes not only the darkness of his complexion, but also his
soul. This name was given to him by his partner Red Dog. Blak describes
his style as an asthmatic, 'It's a killer voice that puts heads
to rest." He has made an oath to himself that EVERY work he does
will be a certified hit. As an entertainer Blak states," I want
my music to be remembered as old school and new school "BANGERS".
Always interested in breaking through to television Blak received
his chance on a episode of COPS on the FOX network. Keith can be
seen trying to break up a fight between his baby mom and girlfriend.
Keith Remember times when they open for acts like Wu-Tang Clan in
1994 and Philadelphia's own Ram Squad, where the crowd booed Ram
Squad so that Helbint could come back on stage. "The adrenaline
had me on the edge of my seat." "It's Our Time And We Are Taking
It".
