“Kowtowing neither to commercial-rap corniness or underground backpacker restrictions, Black Bobby’s music exists in a rarely occupied in-between sonic space that recalls golden age lyricism and crackly beats without getting stuck in the past.” – Arielle Castillo, Miami New Times

“Black Bob is a fresh and much needed voice in hip hop. Finally, a rapper smart enough to ‘get it’ and funny enough to make you listen. Plus anyone who name checks David Gergen in a rhyme is my hero. Unique talent always freezes me in my tracks. That’s what happened first time i heard Black Bobby, and I haven’t stopped listening since.” – Amaechi Uzoigwe (CEO of Definitive Jux & Co-Founder of Fairtilizer)

About Phat Kid Tendencies:

Black Bobby’s first mixtape, “Phat Kid Tendencies,” is totally FREE and comes after three long years transitioning from politics to the music industry. Phat Kid Tendencies is just straight up real Hip-Hop utilizing freestyles over familiar classic beats, original songs, and re-interpretations of some of Bobby’s favorite tunes. Anyone who loves classic Hip-Hip will appreciate the mixtape. Phat Kid Tendencies is Bobby’s life work, is based on his real life, and can be most aptly described as “when keeping it real goes right.” Phat Kid Tendencies has no features and was recorded by Block Royal in their Miami studio.

Radio interviews with me about Phat Kid Tendencies:

Peep my hour long interview with Jay Bee on Florida International University’s radio station. The interview isn’t all talking. A good portion of this is spent playing my music. But we do talk. We talk politics, real life, music, the Millennial Generation and the future of the American Dream. It really is deeper than rap, people!

Yo! I did another hour long radio interview here in Miami- this time at the University of Miami for their locals only show “Miami Time” on WVUM hosted by awesome UM student Gio. I love Tha U and was so happy to talk about my mixtape, my next project (Black Bobby’s Negro Dialect), and my background in service/politics. Yes, and we played the music of course. Check it!

Here’s what Miami’s own, Sweat Records, had to say about PKT:

“BLACK BOBBY is the alias of Miami-based MC Larry Harris, Jr. Originally from DC, this Harvard grad was about to start running for seats but realized his calling was to run rhymes and move seats! He’s all about preserving the original spirit of hip hop – his album has no grandstanding foolishness, no bling-worship, and no features – it’s just one man rapping right over some classic beats and reminding you what hip hop is all about.”

Here’s what Hipster Overkill had to say about PKT:

“This month’s guest at The Fringe is Miami’s own DJ D-Up. He is currently spinning @ some of Miami’s best hot spots. Recently he shot over to me this mixtape he worked on for Black Bobby, a MC originally from DC but now taking over the world from his headquarters in Miami. One listen to PKT (Phat Kid Tendencies) brought me back to the days when Hip-Hop was done right ala The Golden Age! If you’re a fan of The Cool Kids, Mickey Factz, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Moon, Biggie, etc., then do yourself a favor and download both mixtape and the album!”
