BTDB aka BLACK BLADES, is a multi-member crew from the Southeast side of greater Houston. Featuring noise-rap pioneer, B L A C K I E, the crew met in high school and began recording in 2004. Fusing the slow, laid-back style that Houston is known for with abrasive noise and aggressive vocals, Black Blades' sound is very much its own. The A-side features Stony Hawk (formerly OVXRCR) and B L A C K I E going hard over Celestial's mellow, synth-laden beat, while the B-side sees SVNS and B L A C K I E loud, distorted, and loaded over slow, pulsating bass.
