WHAT IT IS: Rising through the ranks in the D.C. music scene, 3ohBlack is riding a wave with his viral hit and street-certified “All Talk.” Keeping it real with his raw wordplay and witty lyricism, the single’s nonsensical visual, backed by a menacing production, quickly became a viral sensation with its comically violent bars about self-defense and quintessential tough talk. Coming off its success, 3ohBlack dropped “Drive the Boat,” once again delivering a personality-filled music video. As the DMV-bred rapper gears up to release more heat this year, it’s evident he’s not all talk.
