In the second part of our KFOG.com series Fantastic Negrito: Behind the Record we explore the “universe” around Xavier Dphrepaulezz, aka Fantastic Negrito, that helped propel him from an artist languishing in obscurity, to a Grammy winning sensation. The team that makes up Blackball Universe, which originally started as a record label but has now morphed into a creative collective for artists of all sorts, has been instrumental in his ascension despite the deck being stacked against him. Of course talent, determination, and a little luck all play a role in Xavier’s success, but without a great team to support him success can be fleeting, or even worse – unattainable. In this episode I had the pleasure of sitting down with a few key figures from Black Ball Universe to get a better sense of exactly how much work goes in to cultivating an artists’ success.
