Born and raised in the Eastern Cape, Blakrok later moved between Cape Town, PE, Grahamstown and currently resides in Johannesburg. First coming into prominence as an emcee with the Eastern Cape based Hiphocalypse Movement, she featured on The Innovator's debut album The Send Off and made an appearance on The Hiphocalypse Mixtape in 2004. The follow up remix album The Hiphocalypse Re-Mixtape (2005), became a national success featuring beats from some of SA's top hip-hop producers. During this period, Blakrok's music gained massive recognition and she broke off on a solo exploration to develop her own style.
In 2007 Blakrok moved to Johannesburg and became a member of the critically acclaimed hip-hop outfit Recess Poetry, performing at underground hip-hop shows in the East Rand, West Rand, Soweto and getting recognition from promoters within the club scene in Johannesburg. Recess released an EP titled High Rollin' later that year, which had hit singles like "Golden City" and "Cause A Rawkus" gaining them popularity through wide radio airplay, notably on "The Bridge" on Yfm. This brought Blakrok to the attention of the South African hip-hop veteran Grand Master Shorty Skilz who introduced her to spliff-obliterating, super producer and sampletologist, Kanif the Jhatmaster of indie record label Iapetus Productions, since then she has been performing along side Hymphatic Thabs, Robo the Technician and the rest of the Iapetus stable, whilst putting the finishing touches to her debut solo album, out late 2010.
