Black Attack

Biography

Given birth to and raised in Manhattan, Dark Attack (true name Sean Boston) knew in 13 years that he would end up being an MC. He began in an area crew called Smoked Out Productions, but ventured from his own within the middle-’90s, crossing pathways with previous Beatnuts member Al Tariq, who was simply focusing on his single debut, God Contacts (1996), for Right Information. In 1997, Dark Assault released the underground strike 12″ “Holdin’ It Down” b/w “Verbal Assault,” offering fellow MC Problemz, on the right label. The up-and-comer quickly founded a name for himself with this record, however the business end of points never could match to the guarantee of his abilities. Dark Attack was continuously jumping from label to label around the impartial circuit, with just a few recordings (just like the My Crown 12″) showing for it. Nevertheless, coming into connection with Japanese turntablist DJ Honda, who was simply located in Manhattan at that time, bore some excellent results. Dark Attack documented many tunes with Honda for his self-titled debut, DJ Honda (1996), in addition to HII (1998) and HIII (2001). Focus on Honda’s second recording had reunited Dark Assault with Al Tariq and Problemz. The three toured European countries with Honda in addition to doing their very own gigs. Because the chemistry was there plus they had been well-received, the three of these founded Missin’ Linx, regrettably a short-lived effort. Dark Attack was around the verge of phoning it quits, but he resurfaced in 2007 with another impartial single, “Dark Man.”
