Blakk Soul

Tacoma, Washington-based R&B artist Eric Keith (aka Blakk Soul) established himself as a producer and backing vocalist, working with artists such as Playboi Carti, Dr. Dre, Macklemore, and Anderson .Paak. He went on to form a solo career, fusing R&B, hip hop and soul. His debut EP, 2014's Holiday Jukin, was a collaborative effort with Rapper Big Pooh; it wasn't until 2017 that his first proper solo EP, Never See, was released. He spent the next few years working on his debut album, Take Your Time, which surfaced in 2020 and featured Joell Ortiz on the lead single "Help." ~ Liam Martin
