Born Andre Williams, Jr, on August 1, 1984, in Frankfurt, Germany. Son of Andre Williams and Barbara Cade, Blaack grew up in Tignall, Georgia. The oldest of seven children, Blaack learned early on the skills necessary to survive on very little living on Black Bottom Street. Due to family problems, in 1994 Blaack and his younger brother (Quinn) moved to Alaska to live with their father.

Initially, Blaack attended Bethel Regional Middle School in the remote village of Bethel, Alaska. He then moved to Anchorage, Alaska two years later to complete his education at Central Middle School, Bartlett, Save and Colony High Schools.

By 2000, Blaack had not only lost his mother, but also his grandmother and one of his younger brothers all of which had lived on Black Bottom Street in Tignall, Georgia. To honor their memory, Blaack decided to adopt the street name as his alias. Although the original street name was Black Bottom, Blaack decided to make it more distinct by adding an extra letter "a" to make the name "Blaack Bottom Street".

Blaack enlisted in the Army and by 2004 was deployed for one year to Salerno, Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom). Blaack rapidly achieved the rank of E-5 (Sergeant). After leaving the military in 2006, Blaack decided to travel to Hawaii and Georgia and now currently resides in Anchorage, Alaska. Because Blaack has spent half his life in Georgia and half in Alaska, he feels his music does not represent just one specific area. His music can be described as a twist of the south with up north lyrics. Blaack's music tells a story that is expressive, versatile and real. A story that will keep you thoroughly entertained, "Plus Some".

In January 2011, Blaack was named Hip Hop Artist of the Year at the Alaska Music Awards.

In June 2011, Blaack was presented The Platinum Humanitarian Award by Our Commitment, Inc. The award is given to individuals who have shown continuous efforts in serving their communities.
