Bio
Born Dexter Jerome Hallman-Sneed, on August 21, 1970 in Shreveport, Louisiana, Blakfist was raised, along with his other siblings under the roof of his mother and grandmother, in the projects of Bossier City. In his self-written book (currently in production) entitled "From A Seed To A Souljah" he describes the projects in his words, "For one the grass was always green, I mean if it was greener on the other side, in other words if life was better in other neighborhoods or more abundant I didn't feel it or realize it. I mean growing up in the projects was okay for me."

To understand the complexities of the man you must gain an understanding of the paths that shaped him. At the age of fourteen he moved out to the west coast, California- Los Angeles, and to bring it home even more- South Central.

South Central at that time was HOT, hotter than the California sun that beamed seemingly almost 24/7. The 80s were a decade of violence for probably more than 95% of the urban cities and as Blakfist would find out at the impressionable age of fourteen, South Central was like night and day when compared to the solitude of the south.

His sophmore release entitled " In A Momentz Time:7 yearz; 7 dayz- Tribulation" dropped 2006 can be best describe as a underground classic. This cd is filled with pain, redemption, love, power, delieverance. In his words, "this is my rap version of Marvin Gaye's- What's Goin On album."

In the words of Blakfist,"Im the person who you think you are. I will say what it is you feel you would say. I will do that which you feel you would do. I am your souljah, I will represent for you- I will not let you down, MARANATHA."
