The Unspoken Heard is the hip-hop collaborative of rapper Asheru and producer Blue Black. The group is often referred to as Asheru & Blue Black of the Unspoken Heard. They began getting significant recognition in underground hip-hop around the turn of the millennium. Their sound is reminiscent of the New York "new school" sound of the early '90s, particularly that of the Native Tongues Posse.

Asheru's profile and popularity has increased due to his intro and outro theme music for the animated series, "The Boondocks", on Adult Swim. [http://bulletinyourgun.khimpulse.net/content/lyrics.php]
