Allow me to reintroduce you to Blkgoldoftheson pka /Blk/Gōld/, a highly talented rapper, producer, songwriter, and composer who hails from Oakland, California. Born Rafael Christopher-Lloyd Griffin, originally from Detroit, Michigan, comes from a musical background as his late father was a lead singer for a soul group in the 1970s and his late mother was a music curator for the local radio station. His remarkable journey began by learning the art of sampling and music theory by studying the legendary producers from Detroit. Inspired by artists and producers such as J Dilla, Pharrell, Kanye West, Q-Tip, and Black Milk. With Hip Hop always being his number one love, Blk blends his appreciation of various musical influences to create his own sound that separates him from the rest.
