Who Is The Black Spade?
Wisdom, acceptance, labor, intelligence, and Life. The Black Spade is a representation of who I am as an Artist. Opineismyname™, Opine, or simply O for short. I’ve even started going by Black Spade O. My name means to express ones opinions openly without hesitation or fear.
I am the mind the Great Ones aimed to spark.
Singer-Songwriter, eMCee (Rapper), Dancer, and even drawing (sometimes). I do it all and am only striving to continue to grow by adding the piano and guitar to my repertoire in order to express my life, my thoughts, my emotions, my feelings… and my heart, out on each track in order to “…win your hearts before I ever Win a Grammy” – Kendrick Lamar.
Anyone can follow me on this journey, and as I grow, you grow. We all grow together. If only One person hears my music and it was able to tap into their emotions and cause a difference or change in their life, then I have done what I’ve been out on this earth to do.

Who Is OpineIsMyName™?
Opineismyname™, born Vernon Louis Brooks III, is a multi-talented, multi-faceted artist and poet hailing from the North Bay Area in Northern CA. From the early age of 2 until now, his comprehension of language and maturation as a wordsmith has allowed him to become a phenomenal lyricist. Opineismyname™ is a rapper, singer, songwriter and poet who has been featured on a number of projects for new, up and coming artists.
As a singer and dancer, Opineismyname™ has performed in school musicals and competitions. Most recently, he performed in the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom’s Fright Fest productions of “The Awakening”, “Dance Macabre” and “The Aftermath”.
He released his first mixtape Giant Slayer on March 5, 2015 exclusively on datpiff.com. He followed up Giant Slayer with Identity Crisis EP on May 5, 2015, and a year later he followed up with his second mixtape, Mount Horeb on July 27, 2016 both of which allowed him to share in the grief of the killing of many of his comrades, as well as wrestle with the universal struggle with religion in general, and his personal faith.
Opineismyname™ came back hard after Mount Horeb with four singles collectively known as #TheBouquet. The first entitled Hoodrat which expresses the mentality of many of those consumed by the inner cities of this country. The second entitled Homiecide, graphically depicts the betrayal by a friend and the lust of vengeance, within the context of a system that feeds and encourages both. Homiecide became the most requested song from March through April 2017 on BKWradio, the #1 internet radio station in Pennsylvania. The third entitled Liquid Courage featuring fellow Bay Area Artist T. Carriér, expressively depicts the abuse of liquor and sex in order to maintain through depression and grief. Although with it's deep undertone, Liquid Courage, is sure to get the party started. The fourth and final installment to #TheBouquet, entitled T. Picklez expresses the mentality of many trapped in inner cities looking to survive by any means necessary, while also discussing systematic oppression and the dumping of drugs and guns into black communities. Opineismyname™ had planned to drop his first full studio album in December of 2017 but the project was shelved and scrapped.
Once the original project was scrapped, Opineismyname™ released another project titled Moonwalker EP, exclusively for streaming on SoundCloud. The releasing of this project on other media outlets is to be determined, but until then, Opineismyname™ is working on pushing his newly found sound and style out further!
Thank you for riding with me on this journey.
