ENCOUNTER



Their first encounter was back in 2010 when

they went on a school trip together where

they both partook in a music cypher in the

school bus, that’s when they realised that

they’re both talented and can use this to

their advantage. The duo began dedicating

themselves to growing their skills and talent

not as individuals but together. This led to

them participating in school functions which

earned them fame in the community and

local surroundings. The influence of the Hip

Hop culture played a big role in the creation

of the group, they took part in hip hop stage

battles and poetry and this resulted in their

musical connection as well as them sharing

more knowledge with regards to the industry.

CHANGING LIVES, DEFINING AN ERA04

Blaq Diamond relocated to Johannesburg to further pursue their dream. With their primary mode being African infused, they’re known for releasing a combination of Afro-pop, Hip Hop and Soulful house sounds. Their music has always promoted love, respect, integrity, honesty, peace as well as soulful joy. This young duo has a rare, authentic sound that has always been epitomized with a Black Diamond as it is a precious stone from the mud and rare to find, this led to their stage name "Blaq Diamond”.

It was in the winter of 2017 when they signed to Ambitiouz Entertainment and shortly after that they released a love song titled “Sthandwa”. This gained them much recognition and has helped them build on the music foundation that they have already layed for themselves. They have previously worked with artists such as Mono T, DJ Bobsta as well as renowned DJ Maphorisa. In 2017, Blaq Diamond is set to capture hearts one song at

a time and fans should expect a truckload of new music.In November 2017 the multitalented duo released their debut album titled Inqola, a vernacular name for carriage, that comprises of 14 tracks. The album was released after a huge success of their two tracks, Sthwandwa and Emzini Ka Baba which did amazingly well on YouTube and digital stores.

Their distinct sound has gained them a sacred space in the South African music industry, and they continue to do stay on radar. On 13 February, the duo released a music video for their soothing track, Isoka which received over 29k views on YouTube in just five days of its release.

In just less than two months after the Isoka visuals, Blaq Diamond joined forces with their award-winning stablemate who also has a unique sound, Sjava, and introduced us to a news song titled Memeza. The song is about not having anyone in your dark and rainy days.
