Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, and raised in a household steeped in neo-soul, Blk began channeling his voice through music after the unjust killing of his older brother by police at age 12. That life-altering loss and the experience of growing up Black and male in 21st-century America fuels his raw, layered storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis debut album, \u003cem\u003eBlk Vintage\u003c\/em\u003e (2021), written and produced with close collaborators, served as both a celebration and a critique of Black identity in America. It was met with critical acclaim and re-released in 2022 via Empire as \u003cem\u003eBlk Vintage: The Reprise\u003c\/em\u003e, featuring Mereba, Benny the Butcher, George Clinton, and Baby Rose. The project has since amassed over 100 million streams and positioned Blk Odyssy as a standout voice in modern soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis 2023 second album, \u003cem\u003eDiamonds \u0026amp; Freaks\u003c\/em\u003e, continued his ascent, merging surrealism and social commentary with contributions from Rapsody, KIRBY, Bootsy Collins, Cory Henry, and production from The Alchemist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNPR called BLK “a surrealist R\u0026amp;B auteur,” while Pitchfork praised his ability to bend genre into a cinematic sonic experience. In 2024, following a surreal Tiny Desk performance and festival appearances across Europe — including a headline set at North Sea Jazz Festival and Lollapalooza in Chicago — Blk Odyssy launched a bold new chapter, with his third studio album, \u003cem\u003e1-800 FANTASY\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow averaging over 1M+ weekly streams, Blk Odyssy is unleashing his fourth project, \u003cem\u003eMood Control\u003c\/em\u003e, a ten-track album pushing alt-R\u0026amp;B, soul, and funk to new heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited green \/ brown \/ white vinyl version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Nativity Of Chaos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRicky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApologize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeartbreak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaturday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMood Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePossessed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSedation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Exodus Of Chaos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Empire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54112057590106,"sku":"ERE1202","price":28.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/blk-odyssy-mood-control.jpg?v=1778068857","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/blk-odyssy-mood-control-coloured-vinyl","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
