History In The Making

He ended up living in hospitals, shelters and trap houses to stay out of the cold. During the summer, he lived in parks and anywhere else he could. Though still struggling, he kept working on his craft.

He proceeded to find a way to record his music, by any means possible. He would record in cars, parks, hospital washrooms and libraries. In 2018 he decided that he had enough and checked himself into a long-term Christian based drug and alcohol treatment center in Ottawa. He explained that he knew God was always present in his life and was watching over him. This is when he really accepted the help he needed and got connected with the community. He also has built his relationship with Jesus during his time in treatment.

Currently

While in treatment, Blake decided that he was going to change his style of music. Changing it from the secular music we commonly hear today, to rapping about change, hope, faith, how others can overcome addiction and how they can build their own relationship with God. “New life” was created, recorded and released from his bedroom in treatment. Blake has said that this is only the beginning and has plans on sharing the gospel. He also states, its never too late to change and we all can overcome addiction with the help of community and Jesus. Since then, he has also released 2 singles called, “Hallelujah” and “The Usual”. He is also currently working on his 2^nd album, “Life After”.
