First discovered on Poo-bah Records’ debut 2004 release, Day & Night Ep with Ras G, he has since offered a live instrumental on Plug Research's Sound Of LA Vol. 2, a solo MONK MUSIC EP also on Poo-Bah Records, and has future releases scheduled. Black Monk along with Ras G and Ron Stivers are the founders of the Poo-Bah Label.
His background includes playing keys in a gigging jazz ensemble, studying with great avant horn player Bobby Bradford, and doing session work with artists like Ras G, Ta’Raach, Take, Kutmah, Sacred, and Snoop Dogg. In the mid-90’s Blackmonk worked as an assistant engineer at Music Grinder Recording Studios. Death Row Records frequented the place along with other major Rock, Pop, and R&B labels and artists at the time.
This week, Beat Soup welcomes Yuk of MHD and Pudge of VJC playing some very, very rowdy cuts. Come thru and and experience the sounds of LA's very talent filled kin, Pudge and Yuk with guest sets from My Hollow Drum on the DJ. Get up with the new at Poo-Bah records.
