Black Hole’s first signing PK Kariuki Thande, aka R.I.Z.E.

Citing influences Mobb Deep, Andre 3000, Cyhi da Prynce, Big K.R.I.T, and King Los; in 2015 and 2016 R.I.Z.E. released early singles independently via online platforms but has found a creative zone with the Black Hole beatsmiths to produce an exceptional body of reality rap material for 2018. Hot on the heels of two RAW RAPZ™ video sessions in December 2017, R.I.Z.E. dropped his debut single ‘Hatin’ on Me’ from the forthcoming ‘Vibe-Rant’ EP on Christmas Eve.
Black Hole’s latest signing is another young emerging Kenyan Hip-Hop talent Anthony Ombui who performs under the moniker HAZE.
