Biography
Ghanian-American rapper Blackway is a different breed. In private, introspective and thoughtful - whilst on the mic, a headrush of humor, swagger and intelligence.
Blackway grew up bouncing between Accra and New York City. A collaborator to the likes of Rotimi and Busta Rhymes - his technical ability across hip hop and afrobeats is recognised both inside and outside the industry.

He first came to the public’s attention when his song What's Up Danger (Black Caviar Remix) dropped in 2019. The energy-filled track was the centrepiece of the award winning, “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” movie, the soundtrack itself earning a Grammy nomination.
Blackway’s style is artful, complex and assured - he has had music selected as the NFL’s song of the season, his single It Feel Good to Be Me received Beyoncé’s personal approval to soundtrack the #HallsofIvy campaign for Ivy Park x Adidas, and more recently, Blackway has featured on Madden ’23 and Fortnite soundtracks.
With an afrobeats record due this year alongside a huge collaboration single called King Talk (feat. Shaquille O'Neal), Blackway’s star is rising fast.
