In 2010, he appeared on Yung Miss' track "Nod Ya Head Musick" on the hit underground mixtape 'DJ RPM Present The Showcase Vol. 169', which garnered positive reviews on music blogs worldwide.

He then followed up in February with another mixtape ('My Better Half' hosted by Three Words). His song "Keep On Pushing" ft/ Three Words, which appeared on 2 separate mixtapes, became an international underground hit, gaining airplay and press coverage in the United States, UK, Germany, Italy, France, Monaco, Netherlands, Nigeria, South Africa, Hungary, Croatia, Senegal, Ukraine, Cameroon, Liberia, Gabon, Haiti, Mauritius, Chad, Jamaica, Swaziland, and many other nations. Godhand Black was on the cover of Eminem's recent mixtape 'Rap Major' with 2 of his songs and another song that he remixed and mastered appearing on the mixtape. Also a jazz composer, Godhand Black has released a single, “Fireflies In The Moonlight”, which Louisville Music News describes as reminiscent of Chick Corea.
