BLAKE’S SPEAR

Blake's Spear emerged from a singular vision: transform raw emotion into sonic assault. Producer David Midgett built this industrial trap metal drill project around the vocal performances of songwriter Dajon "Blakespear" Hodge, creating something that lives in the space between hip-hop aggression and metal brutality.

"Red Line Fighter," the debut seven-track EP, is named for the production aesthetic that defines every second of its runtime. Red-lining isn't a mistake here—it's the mission. Intentional clipping, blown-out 808s, crushed amen breaks, and distortion on everything create a listening experience that sounds like speakers dying in real-time. This is music that refuses to be ignored.

The EP opens with a triple assault: "Fighter," "Slippin'," and "Millionaire" hit at 174 BPM with unrelenting aggression, establishing dominance through Hodge's lyrics about survival, unshakeable confidence, and relentless ambition. Midgett's production transforms Hodge's vocal performances into screaming distorted weapons, layering industrial noise, chaotic breakbeats, and metal guitar riffs into something that sounds like concrete jungle warfare.

"One of One" provides the EP's only breathing room—slowing to 130 BPM while maintaining the harsh edge, showing the exhaustion beneath the grind without ever losing its threat. The project then builds through "Apex" and "Crowned," two original Midgett compositions exploring predator-prey dynamics and alpha mentality before closing with "Eye of the Tigress," a fierce acknowledgment of ultimate power.
