New Music From D. Black -- "Keep on Going" Featuring Vitamin D

It was announced yesterday that local rapper D. Black is geared to release his upcoming album, Ali'Yah, on September 15th. I haven't seen a lot of D. Black performances since moving here, only one or two over the last six months if memory serves me correctly. But that's actually a sign of an MC and businessman hard at work on a serious project. The disc is slated to come out on Sportn' Life Records (naturally) in conjunction with Bay Area label MYX Music.

I just looked up the meaning of the Hebrew word Ali'Yah and it's real interesting. For those that don't already know, D. Black is Jewish and stays deep in the Torah from what I've heard. Since he represents the Israelites, expect him to drop lot's of knowledge with a street edge on Ali'yah. For a taste of it, check out his newest single, "Keep it Going" featuring Vitamin D on production and vocals below. If the beat sounds familiar, it's apparently the same joint that 50 Cent jacked from an old Vitamin beat CD and recorded "London Girl" over. It doesn't sound familiar to me though cause I don't listen to 50 Cent. Check it out.

After the jump, check out the new, uh, commercial for D. Black's upcoming album. It's hoodtastic for sure but gets the point across. And if you didn't already know, D. Black plays the Capitol Hill Block Party on July 25.
