The Black Opera have been busy as of late, in addition to a number of live shows including opening for Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge in Michigan, TBO has been back in the studio working on a new EP for Mello Music Group to hold fans over until the next full length for the group. In the meantime, they decided to enlist Oddisee for a remix of their popular track “Queen Of Hearts featuring Mayer Hawthorne”. The track debuted this morning on HipHopDX and is now out in the wild! Sit back and let this one roll over you.
New video from The Black Opera “Queen of Hearts” featuring Mayer Hawthorne, off the Libretto: Of King Legend.
“While in search of his Queen of Hearts, or some would say, KUEENZ of Heart, the King was not very trusting with any of his beautiful possibilities. Once he learned how to trust himself, then and only then, was he able to trust and L O V E Without A Limit.”

Mayer Hawthorne announces the release of his third album Where Does This Door Go, dropping on July 16th via Republic Records.


New music from Mayer Hawthorne “Designer Drug,” one of many tracks coming out this year.

The Black Opera dropped their latest bit, a love song of sorts, entitled “Queen of Hearts” off at XXL for Valentine’s Day. The track is a mellow introspective rundown of all the things that “She” is, or could be, to her King. Who is “She”? Decide for yourself. The Black Opera and fellow creator Mayer Hawthorne, who is featured on the hook of this track, each have their own interpretation of the perfect “Queen of Hearts”.
Mayer Hawthorne, who has coined his new-school Motown sound, adds a spicy eloquence to the track while the TBOG’s speak on who their ideal Kueen is, and who she isn’t. Lines like “She could be my Queen to be” are greatly opposed by others such as “Im not tryina make a hoe a baby momma, drama”. This song is more than your average Valentine’s Day bullshit. Treat your girl to the MP3 of “Queen of Hearts”, not dinner at the Sizzler tonight, player.

In this Microwave Age where social media makes the world smaller, The Black Opera has made a valiant effort to maintain a sense of anonymity while simultaneously being able to SPREAD THE WARNING. Instead of letting others tell fictional stories, TBO has decided to reveal their true story. This story arrives in the form of their newest installment Libretto: of King Legend. This amazing body of work introduces the unsung story of the honorable King Legend, whose legacy is believed to be the true origin of TBO. Libretto: of King Legend is a detailed tale, told from the perspectives of both the incerdible King and his loyal statesmen. Libretto is the third and final installment of the three part introduction: The Black Op: Era I.
Libretto creates a musical umbrella which encompasses the [r]evolutionary theme of their first installment Overture and the charismatic spirit of their second installment EnterMission., all while delving into the brilliant mind, heart and bloodline of The Black Opera. Among those helping TBO to SPREAD THE WARNING on Libretto are Mayer Hawthorne, Boog Brown, Lalibella and Melody Betts who are featured musicians, and the project contains instrumental performances and bonus encores courtesy of Astronote, 14KT, Oddisee and more. Libretto: of King Legend is the end of the beginning. Stay [in]Tune[d].

The project features 13 tracks from the collective of Buff1, 14KT, Trés Styles, Vaughan T, Vital, Grand Champ & DJ Haircut aka Mayer Hawthorne.
