Contemporary R&B artist Elijah Blake, who has also been credited under his birth name of Sean Fenton, as well as Redd Stylez, broke through as a songwriter for the likes of Trey Songz, Rihanna, and Keyshia Cole. Most notably, he contributed to Usher's "Climax," a hit single that topped Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in 2012. All the while, Blake's solo career was in development. Through producer No I.D.'s ARTium, he released the single "X.O.X.," featuring labelmate Common, in 2013. The following year, Blake returned the favor on Common's "Real," which was quickly trailed by another solo single, "Wicked." A frequent collaborator, Blake has also been featured on tracks by the Game, Rick Ross, and MIDI Mafia. ~ Andy Kellman
