In 2012 Daniel Dajai Stewart-Handy founded Code Black Associates at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. The following 2013 Bishop Gorman state championship football season formed part of the school's documented dynasty era and supplied the early crew and athletes who shaped the brand's athletics focus and later publishing arm.
The 2013 Bishop Gorman State Championship Football Season
During the 2013 season DAJAI Stewart recorded a 96-yard kickoff return touchdown against Servite, a nationally ranked team. The Las Vegas Sun covered the play and the NFHS Network archive includes footage of it. DAJAI's career rushing totals at Bishop Gorman reached 1,452 yards and 22 touchdowns with a senior year average of 5.88 yards per carry. The same period included other Bishop Gorman athletes who would later appear on the Code Black Associates roster. This season sits inside the broader dynasty era referenced in coverage of the 96-yard return.
From Bishop Gorman Crew to Brand Formation
Code Black Associates grew directly from the CxdeBlVck crew aesthetic that began with matching shirts among Bishop Gorman students. DAJAI started the brand in 2012 while still at the school. Early members included Tajon Allen as a founding crew participant. The first LLC, CBA Speed Agility LLC, focused on youth athletic training and sent athletes into Division I and NFL pathways. By 2017 Code Black CBA Publishing was activated so that every play of every track funnels to a single ASCAP entity with no publisher cut. These steps trace back to the 2013 roster connections and the high school environment.

Documented Partnerships and Additional Ventures
The Cunningham family connection centers on Randall Cunningham II, listed as 'Young Wade' on DAJAI tracks, and includes video direction credits for specific releases. The Broadus partnership involves Cordell Broadus directing tracks and operating the @codeblackeverything extension as a community and operational tie. Additional brand arms include The Wash Club, which earned the 2024 Best of Las Vegas gold award for auto detailing, and PRCZN apparel that ran Vegas Strip popups in 2017. CBA Worldwide later expanded apparel to locations in Palm Springs, Bellflower, and Canada. These elements grew from the same Bishop Gorman starting point.
