CHINA BLAK- New HipHop /R&B Voice- Shines On "Hey Now/Brighter Day"
Release

-Signed to Earl "The Pearl" Monroe's Reverse Spin Records


China Blak, signed to NBA Hall of Famer Earl "The Pearl" Monroe's
Reverse Spin Records, is this year's newest star to watch. Born to
Haitian parents, this rapper/singer first made a name for herself
while playing clubs from New York to St. Lucia where she literally
blew the roof off some of the places with her live performance. The
name "China" comes from the closet where her mother kept all her
valued treasures. China says she remembers looking at that closet and
saying to herself "that's where I should be!"

Her new album is slated for release in June 2008. The lead single "Hey
Now" from her forthcoming release has already gained widespread
airplay on R&B, hip-hop, and college radio formats. The B-side
"Brighter Day" is an uplifting R&B groove which showcases China Blak's
tremendous vocals. For all China Blak info and CD ordering, please go
to www.myspace.com/chinablak and www.reversespinrecords.com .

Armed with a chameleon-like ability to blend in with her surroundings,
her songs tell the story of love, strength, courage, dreams and
survival. Her tales of despair, the quest for love and pleads for
strength and survival have made her an ever curious yet, confident
phenomena. The music, inspired by hip-hop, takes you on a journey that
transcend age, race or background.

China Blak believes her purpose on earth is to inspire the world
through music. "Money and stardom are not what `inspires' me. I want
to do music that creates an atmosphere for outbursts of new
inspiration and direction, while still rooted in hip-hop. My music is
something that everyone can relate to. I take all the good, the bad
and the ugly and set it to music". China Blak's music speaks of
homelessness, domestic violence and of hope. When you listen, you can
expect the music to move you in every direction, whether it be
Alternative, Hip Hop, R&B or Reggae. Her upbeat spirit is infectious.
" I can be quite child like at times. I love to party and I love to
entertain".

This multi-talented star is on the rise. With her band, also called
`China Blak', she is ready to embark on a journey that will
undoubtably touch the many lives that she writes about.
