Onyx’s new album, Black Rock, has arrived at a difficult time for the group. Earlier this week, Chylow “Chyskillz” Parker — the producer behind Onyx’s platinum-selling debut Bacdafucup — passed away due to a heart attack.
Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr’s follow-up to 2014’s Turndafucup features 12 tracks. Skyzoo and R.A. The Rugged Man are among the notable contributors to the LP.

Onyx, the platinum-selling group behind ’90s classics like “Slam” and “Throw Ya Gunz,” is ready to give Hip Hop fans another dose of some hardcore rap. Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr are scheduled to release a new album, Black Rock, on February 16.
The LP will feature 12 tracks with guest appearances by R.A. The Rugged Man and Skyzoo. The album, which shares its title with the group’s 2009 single “Black Rock,” is Onyx’s follow-up to 2014’s Turndafucup and first release since Shotgunz In Hell, a collaborative project with Dope D.O.D.

As I recall, they planned this album years ago. Sticky Fingaz even has a song with a video on YouTube dissing Dame Dash for making an album with the same name after they had already announced this one.
YOU’RE RIGHT, I REMEMBER THIS SHIT WAS ANNOUNCED LIKE 10 YEARS AGO.
Why’d Dame make a record? Hes paying Bleek to blow Molly up his asshole isn’t he? I believe you east coast folks call it Boofin.
Let us pray Snowgoons didn’t produce this one. Their beat selection hasn’t been great in the last two albums and this tracklist doesn’t look so good but it’s Onyx so whatever i’ll take it at least it’s better than nothing.
Snowgoons are the resurrection of real hip hop beats on a epic scale…flame on
Yes, i liked Snowgoons when they were still fresh. After listening to a lost of their shit it just became so fuckin boring and repetitive. Yawn.
You already know they did. Every beat is by them. I used to like their stuff too because it was refreshing to hear that like five years ago, but after a while it got so repetitive to the point its no different from the generic trap beats we hear these days. All their beats sound the same.
It wasn’t produced by the snowgoons. Onyx and some unknown guy produced the album. I saw the info on another website.
Still no Sonsee? Mehhhhh
Album cover is straight fucking fire, Know it’s different but it has that Uncle Sams Curse feel. Fuck it I’m super hyped right now with this that new Eiht shit and Paul Walls shit
Skyzoo on a track. Oh yes!!
A couple of the song titles sound like old songs.
Nah I rather have that new yfn lucci it’s 2 litty #freekodak
Werdddd..looking forward to the Skyzoo and RA tracks. As long as the beat selection is better than that of 90% of the tracks on the Snowgoons albums, this ought to be fire.
25 years later and they’re still mad. Go to therapy, have a warm bath, drink some chamomile tea or something. Life is not that bad.
What you want them to rap about then, comfy middleage life in sandals or mumbling about molly?
The former.
Jay-Z grew up, why can’t they?
Move back muthafukaz, the Onyx iz here! Bacdafucup! Bacdafucup!
Not even gonna bother tryin to listen to the album but i’m still gonna call it trash. Their 2002 comeback album was already more filler less killer (plus it was hella short, like 40 minutes or something). What they did with Snowgoons wasn’t good either. I mean i liked the single with Dope D.O.D. they had back then but the album itself had nothing that stood out, just like your typical Snowgoons produced album, all tracks had the same boring sound. Back when Snowgoons were kinda emerging in the US i liked their shit but after a while it got so repetitive that i stopped listening.
You are right my good friend.
Rock stars can perform and make music till the 80 yrs old. People complain when rapper make music when they get a certain age.
If they’re a one-trick pony, yeah.
This shit is FIRE!!!!!!!
Thank you ONYX for continuing to drop REAL HIP HOP!!!!
Fredro, is that you man?
ONYX Still kills all that skinny jeans ass sing and dancing shit.
Yo, there is some weird shit (for Onyx) like LIghters, but that “Greatest day” track gave me goosebumps.
Fresh album ovreall!!
