Black Noise was established from the last of the original b-boys that started in 1982. Initially they started MC’ing as part of the amalgamated b-boy crew called Furious Floor Rockers in 1985/6. The name then changed to The Chill Convention and Black Noise was formed in 1988. Black Noise was formed from members of the b-boy crews like, Pop Glide Crew, Supreme Team, Ballistic Rock and Jam Rock Crew.

Black Noise plans to celebrate their 20th Anniversary by releasing a “Best of Black Noise CD, followed by a new Black Noise CD and DVD about the groups’ history. Also expect commemorative jams and clothing. As the Godfathers of Hip Hop in South Africa, they plan to host a celebration at the Baxter Theatre on the 28th & 29th August 2008. . They also have plans to tour nationally in September and October 2008.
