Buffalo Black & Lord Byron

Jmil Kly aka Buffalo Black represents a new breed of Artistry out of Dallas, Texas. Given light and breath on May 2nd, he was raised in Dallas with the perspective of an observer, eager to stake a claim in the world. Also a Philosophy Student at the University of North Texas, music became an important avenue of creativity in his life in early 2009. During then, he began crafting himself for his debut mixtape, "Flomogenic", later released in May of 2010. After that followed preparation for his debut EP, "NEOTokyo", which carried apocalyptic themes and concepts derived from Anime Films such as, "Akira". Afterwards, a creative void and personal conflict compelled him to develop the concept for his next EP, "The Boy King", which inherited sounds influenced by several artists such as Hans Zimmer, Alpha, Brian Eno, Kanye West and Flying Lotus. In late 2011 he was honored as one of the top 10 Best Local Hip Hop Acts in the Dallas Area by the Dallas Observer. He now turns his aims towards developing himself as a producer and rapper under the moniker of "Buffalo Black" in association with "Jmil Kly", discovering himself and uncovering new forms of visual/sound manifestations along the way. - See more at: http://bfloblack.com/about-me/#sthash.hbPkMmWB.dpuf
