Two years ago, the talented Black Rob passed away from various reported health complications, including a heart attack, multiple strokes, diabetes, and kidney failure. It happened in the same one month period where Hip-Hop mourned the passings of (onetime Black Rob collaborator) DMX and Digital Underground’s Shock G. The former Bad Boy Records star was several years removed from releasing albums. During the 2010s B.R. had worked with Diamond D, Cormega, Sadat X, and Deltron 3030, among others.
This week a new collaboration emerges that shows the Harlem, New Yorker in peak lyrical fashion. It is a thematic collaboration with The Roots’ Black Thought. “Black [No Matter What]” is produced by Rob three onetime Bad Boy Records “Hitmen”: Deric “D Dot” Angelettie, Nashiem Myrick, and Carlos “6 July” Broady—an ensemble who all worked on B.R.’s 2000 platinum debut, Life Story.
