Artist: black element

Black EL takes on a crazy beat for the duos latest single titled "Thelonious". Black EL & Durkin – Thelonious is a post from: That Hip Hop Blog

With a song title like "Thelonious", the jam Black El and Durkin pumped out was far from what I could have ever expected. Pumping up the volume with heavy '80s hip-hop drum samples and Kenny Powers vocals, Black El destroys this beat with an onslaught of intense lyrical delivery. This appears to be a single that will stand on its own, but it sure does prove that these two are here to stay.

Boston Hip-Hop duo Black EL & Durkin release a new single titled "Thelonious". Could we be getting a new project soon? Let's hope so.

One of my favorite acts out of the Boston area is without question Black EL and Durkin. Sometimes, you'll stumble across a duo that's driven by either the rapper or producer, as one is clearly more skilled than the other. But not these guys. Black EL's delivery the type that grabs your ear with just the right amount of "LISTEN UP!" while Durkin complements his cohorts raps with beautifully produced boom-bap. Seriously, his shit knocks, but there's a certain beauty to just how well-done it is. Anyway, the guys have just released their new project, The Collage [...]

Hot n' fresh off the interweb, a new track from Black EL x Durkin "Che's Parlay" is the world's first introduction to Black EL's alter-ego, EL EL Cool Che.
