BLACK MASK:
In the summer of 2006, nine friends formed the original Black Mask and band with Maulskull, America Smith, B-Nuggs, INfluence, Noby One, Joe Kirschner, Dean Wakerlin, Dustin Thompkins and Milton Minasko to play their very first shows in a bar constructed entirely from ice on the slopes of Big Sky Montana and the Zebra Cocktail Lounge in Bozeman Montana (which flooded with four inches of water and left us stranded on the stage surrounded by electronics, yikes) before touring the northwest and playing local Zebra shows with artists like Louis Logic and J.J. Brown, Josh Martinez, The Flobots, Verbal Kent of the Molemen, The Let Go Crew, Nappy Roots, Del, Tha Liks, RJD2, Gza, Shwayze, Awol One, Abstract Rude, Wu Tang, Souls of Mischief, Yin Yang Twins, Tame One, Mix Master Mike, Sleep, 2Mex, Hiero, Grieves and many others. The Black Mask originally performed with a six piece band with drums, keys, guitar, bass, triggers and turntables as well as three mc's. After releasing an entirely free album titled, "Free.P." and the followup titled "Facade Dreadnaught" with guest appearances from Moka Only, Josh Martinez and Verbal Kent, Black Mask downsized to strictly an mc/dj/production outfit with Maulskull on beats and lyrics, INfluence and Noby One on dj/production, B-Nuggs and America Smith on lyrics as well as long time friend/rapper/beatmaker Mic-B and Joe Kirschner on Keys for recording the album, "Serious Joke" which included guest appearances from Celph Titled, Eternia, Louis Logic, Tha Alkoholiks and Verbal Kent of the Molemen. By the summer of 2009, after a twisted tour schedule, an eviction, two nights in jail, Maulskull and America Smith being homeless and the rest of the group barely on speaking terms, it was time for a change, so after securing reliable sofa surfing spots and enough loot and support from Jeremiah at Jereco Studios in Bozeman Montana, Maulskull and America Smith went to work on a new album along side newcomer, Raph aka Stanlee Sprinkle to create "Ugly Stick" completed in the spring of 2010 with guests Sleep and Josh Martinez and 14 tracks of a brand new style from the mask. The trio of lyricists now sit on top of Maulskull's finest productions to date with a list of unique song concepts and a new style and approach to hip hop music. Black Mask is infinite on its quest for hip hop re-definition and stays in their new Denver recording studio and on the road almost constantly so expect good things from them in the coming years most definitely. -Payslee Colfax-
