Blacksnipe Entertainment is a Nigerian-based Record label founded on August 19, 2009 by two Nigerian brothers, Frank Ogwu and Cyril Ogwu in Agbor, Delta State, Nigeria, West Africa. Before 6years, they were established with over 19,000 fans on facebook and search engines. They craved a vision of bringing up talented recording artists within the Africa and global standards. In November, 2014, they signed a global music partnership with Austrialia Record label, KVZ Music which was endorsed to distribute all musical works of Blacksnipe Record [1].

GREAT to the label, an artist with great flair for hiphop/rap. In May, 2013, they signed their second artist, D.BANK, a gospel rap artist and later in July, 2014 due to unreconcilable differences between the artist and the label, the contract was terminated by the label [2]. Blacksnipe Records also developed wonderful music genres and now attracted some of Africa's most respected and talented Entertainment Celebrities which caused them to sign a management deal with Nigerian Star comedian whalemouth in June, 2015 [3].
