Blue Sky Black Death (abbreviated BSBD[1]) was a production duo with ties to the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle, Washington.[2] It consisted of Ryan Maguire,[3] better known by his stage name Kingston, and Ian Taggart,[4] better known by his stage name Young God, or, later, Televangel.[5] They are known principally for their hip-hop and instrumental music, made with a mixture of live instrumentation and sampling. Their name is "a skydiving phrase alluding to beauty and death."[6]
