Ital Samson, better known as Black The Ripper, is a British Rapper and Marijuana Advocate based in London. He is the founder of the brand Dank of England.

Ital grew up in North London and is well known for his advocacy to legalize Cannabis. His social media is filled with himself and his crew smoking in public places such as the London Underground, McDonald's, the London Eye, in front of police, and many more locations. The reason why Black is so open about his Marijuana use is because he believes that acting like it is legal is the first step for it to become legal in the United Kingdom.

Black’s style communicates a sense of self-determination, creative consciousness, and entrepreneurship using subversive flow to shock as well as entertain His music and lyrics reflect the environment he grew up in and the views he expresses are largely a mixture of commentary on issues such as poverty, religion, and racism.

The influence of Black's Music include historical and often political figures such as Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Che Guevara, Marcus Garvey, Haile Selassie I, Elijah Muhammad, Joel Augustus Rogers, Chancellor James Williams, Shiek Ante Diop, Ivan Van Sertima and Tupac Shakur.
