Blak Twang (born Tony Olabode[1] in England), who also uses the pseudonyms Taipanic and Tony Rotton,[2] is a British rapper who grew up in Deptford, Lewisham, South-East London.
Blak Twang is admired for his live performances, and is also respected for the effectiveness with which he includes South London slang and lexicon, including references to specific South London locales, in his music without being too obvious about it. This has made him a favourite of English hip-hop fans, who have dubbed him “the original Hip-Hop Geezer".
