GRAPH Interview of Black Hand Entertainment

Black Hand Entertainment Grafh, born Phillip Bernard, is from the Southeast Queens section of New York. A mixtape veteran, Grafh has propelled his way into the major league on pure skill, dedication, and strategic independent positioning. Grafh's short stint at St. John's University qualified him to become president of the indie label, Black Hand Entertainment while still remaining its flagship artist. Relentless, and prolific is the best way to describe his mission, and music, which has been featured on HBO's Entourage, Fox's Meth and Red Show, BET's Ultimate Hustler. His music also appears on a number of video games, including EA Sports' NFL Streets, 25 to Life, and most recently Saint's Row. Grafh has just begun to impact. He is the brainchild of the Myspace Jumpoff record which is soaring over the internet. The record has received organic adds on the play list at stations like New York's Hot 97, Washington DC's WKYS, and San Francisco's KMEL, with additional support coming in from the college and commercial non-reporting radio level. MTV was one of the first to feature Grafh and his Myspace Jumpoff record on Direct Effect. The record has received over 140,000 hits on his page alone. It is a featured video on Myspace.com, and is still gaining momentum. The growing success of the Myspace Jumpoff record is the true prelude to the long anticipated AutoGrafh album. Due to the high consumer demand for a Grafh product, it is scheduled as an indie release in January, 2007. Grafh has already began to work on recording his sophomore album, and is staying busy hosting the Black Hand Radio Uncut show on XM Satellite radio, doing a national prison tour, as well as performing at traditional venues across the country. Grafh is on the move, he never stops, and you can still catch his mixtapes at your nearest.
