Female-founded Black Market Group (BMG – @blackmarketcertified) is excited to announce Higher Frequency Flower’s arrival in the California market. Conceived and curated by legendary Hip-Hop lyricist Rakim, the cannabis brand will launch in a social equity dispensary Josephine and Billie’s, a female founded and the first of its kind cannabis speakeasy – on June 24th, 2022 from 12pm – 4pm PDT, located at 1535 W Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90062.
Founded by reality television executive turned cannabis industry CEO Whitney Beatty with entrepreneur and Chief Operating Officer Ebony Andersen, Josephine and Billie’s will celebrate the launch of Rakim’s “Higher Frequency Flower” and will be the first retail location in California that will officially carry the brand.

As stated by Rakim, “Higher Frequency Flower was developed to assist artists and deep thinkers as they explore and expand the universal connections that form the foundation of their creative process. We’re curating each of our strains and introducing new techniques and technology that will lead the way to the next level of cannabis cultivation.”

After BMG made major noise in the New York City market with their “420 Smoke in the City” launch party – the emerging brand house is proud to share their common goal with Higher Frequency Flower which is to produce phenomenal cannabis by empowering small farmers, people of color, and the communities most oppressed by decades of cannabis prohibition. Great cannabis, like great music, can now be found from coast to coast and with Rakim and Higher Frequency Flowers, BMG is bringing those two worlds together like never before.
