Ghanaian rapper and hip-hop artiste Desmond Blackmore, popularly known in showbiz circles as D-black is the cover for Issue 3&4 of Lambo Xtra Magazine.

The Black Avanue CEO and music mogul opened up about his career highlight, bucket list, philanthropy and more.

Reflecting on the evolution his craft has been through, D-Black says, “You know 6-7 years ago anytime I was creating I felt the need to cater to the masses in order to attain commercial success. Now it’s different I create what I love, I create for the people yes but I’m giving them me. How I feel, how I think and telling them this is actually me.”

“Get your PHD on. Prayer, Hardwork, Dedication.”

“You have to be born for this. It has to resonate within your soul. If this isn’t the first thing on your mind when you wake up, then this isn’t for you.”

From selling out his first tour in 2010, despite having only two singles out at the time to becoming the first Ghanaian rapper nominated for the BET Awards in 2011 and then first Ghanaian rapper to win a Channel O Award in 2013, an awe-inspiring journey lays behind this powerhouse musician.
