About 11 years ago, they started their career professionally. They recorded their first single in 1999 titled Be Ma Girl featuring 2Face Idibia and Blackface of the defunct Plantashun Boyz and it was produced by Paul Play. So far in the history of hip hop in Nigeria, Blacktribe has remained the oldest hip hop group since Remedies, Plantashun Boiz and X-Appeal broke up.
Accordingly in 2000, they recorded another successful single titled Nino and it turned out to be another hit. It was produced by ace producer, Nelson Brown. The song was well accepted then in all spheres of the society and it instantly turned them into a household name.
Their first album titled Past and Present which was made up of nine tracks was released in 2004 by CK Music. The album was produced by the duo of Nelson Brown and OJB. Tracks like Nino and You Are The One (I Dey Halla O) became the toast of all music lovers. The video of I Dey Halla O also became one of the most rotated videos on air then.
After recording success with the first album, they went back to the drawing board and followed suit with their sophomore effort in 2007 titled Make Way. The album was made up of 12 tracks featuring acts like 2Face Idibia and few other talented acts
While their third album titled addicted which was last December is currently receiving critical review and winning them converts in droves, the management has started planning of celebrating the group’s 10th year’s anniversary in 2010. Their 13 tracker new album featured acts like Timaya, 2Face, Sound Sultan, Mallam Spicey and OJB with the production imprints of K-Solo, J-Sleek, Jiggy Jeg, Spanky Dr Frabz and OJB
