Recording history

After each member produced a number of tracks for various rappers on his own, Blue Sky Black Death made their debut on Mush Records in 2006, with the release of their double-disc debut album A Heap of Broken Images. The first disc featured twelve instrumental tracks, while the second disc featured a number of guests rapping over their production, which included Jus Allah (of Jedi Mind Tricks), Sabac Red (formerly of Non Phixion), Wise Intelligent (of Poor Righteous Teachers), A-Plus and Pep Love (of Hieroglyphics), Chief Kamachi (of Army of the Pharaohs), Mikah 9 (formerly of Freestyle Fellowship), Virtuoso (formerly of Army of the Pharaohs), Awol One and Holocaust. The album's acclaimed production led to the duo landing a record deal with popular independent rap label Babygrande Records. The chemistry felt on their track with Holocaust, a West Coast Wu-Tang Clan affiliate, led to a full-length collaboration album between BSBD and the rapper. On September 5, 2006, Babygrande released the duo's second album Blue Sky Black Death presents: The Holocaust. Holocaust provided all vocals on the album, while BSBD provided all production. The album featured the single "The Ocean" b/w "No Image". The duo's next album will be a collaboration with another Wu-Tang affiliate, Sunz of Man and Black Market Militia member Hell Razah, titled Razah's Ladder. The album will be released October 23, 2007 on Babygrande. Rap redirects here. ... Mush Records is an independent record label that has released albums for many underground artists. ...

Future

In September 2006, Blue Sky Black Death already began to hint through their MySpace blog at their next album, entitled Late Night Cinema. They revealed it would be an all-instrumental record, and soon after, began to post one preview track every two or three months. Three or four tracks from "Late Night Cinema" have been posted since the announcement of their new album, with the latest track being "Ghosts Among Men". No release date or record label has been confirmed.

In June 2007, Blue Sky Black Death posted two preview tracks of a forthcoming tribute to Wu-Tang. The two tracks – "Rebel to the Grain" and "Slapbox with Jesus" – were completely made up of various Wu-Tang samples. It was announced that these tracks would appear on a limited edition 7" release on Mush Records2008. In addition to these preview tracks, Mush Records is an independent record label that has released albums for many underground artists. ...

Though no official announcement has been made, Blue Sky Black Death have links to two other groups they are a part of. These two groups, Slow Burning Lights and Deadpan Darling, can be found via Blue Sky Black Death's MySpace profile.
