I aint heard of that album I have "Tales From Da Blak Side 1994 release, what year is "Hood"?. Tales from Da B... was one of best albums I heard at that time I thought he was gonna take over the industry when I first heard him, I wonder what happened to him. He is from Braddock, PA in Pittsburgh. I can't describe his style it was like a mosh of east coast flow with west coast mentality. "I got the rayfield pointed at yo dome its on" the album ft. Dana Dane also.

Take a pinch of Onyx, a drop of K-Solo and a smidgen of Snoop Doggy Dogg. Then find a rapper from Pittsburgh (Blak Czer) and a producer from L.A. (D.J. Battlecat). Add some funky beats and lyrics, combine them in a studio, press on aluminum and there you have it: Tales From Da Blak Side.
Blak Czer quickly demonstrates his polished lyrical skills, but ultimately comes up lacking in the originality department. Case in point: "Think I'm Going Crazy" is reminiscent of Onyx's rough and rugged, grimy sound; Czer is essentially imitating Onyx vocalist Freddo. You'll also find tastes of Domino, among other artists, as you listen to Czer's debut.
If you can somehow overlook the problem with originality, there is some good stuff to look for. You won't want to miss "Stick Up," with surprise guest, old-schooler Dana Dane making a long-awaited appearance. Another head nodder is "The Hood"; here Blak Czer rips lyrics over a hard, crisp beat and a bass line that's caressed by a smooth organ. The track titled "Versatile With Style" is no lie; Czer has mastered just about all there is to copy.
