I don't think there is much. It's a pretty straightforward homage to Stormbringer, the evil sword from Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone series. Like, to the extent that the guy who wrote White Plume Mountain was a little embarrassed by how popular it became. Assuming you've googled it, you probably know everything there is to know.
In the White Plume Mountain module, I see two references to the previous owners of blackrazor and both of them are so vague, they must be intentionally so. Here are the two references:
Today, the once-feared name of Keraptis is not widely known even among learned scholars. Or it was not widely known, that is, until several weeks ago, when three highly valued magic weapons named Wave, Whelm, and Blackrazordisappeared from the vaults of their owners.
and
The former owners of Wave, Whelm, and Blackrazor are outfitting a group of intrepid heroes to take up the challenge. If the adventurers can rescue the weapons from this false Keraptis, the wealthy collectors have promised to grant them whatever they desire, if it is within their power to do so.
...and that's it! Who these collectors are and how they came to possess blackrazor is up to you is up to you :) The class description for the warlock class has a reference to blackrazor in the description of the Hexblade.
You have made your pact with a mysterious entity from the Shadowfell — a force that manifests in sentient magic weapons carved from the stuff of shadow. The mighty sword Blackrazor is the most notable of these weapons, which have been spread across the multiverse over the ages.
So there is a couple points of info I have to add. First the person who forged Blackrazor was the Raven Queen. Second, Blackrazor is "friends" or more interested in the other Hexblades that were trapped in White Plume Mountain. Third, Blackrazor already has a brother, it's Frostrazor (from the "Return to White Plume Mountain" 2e campaign later remastered in 3.5e.
My dm let my pc who wanted to be a paladin but ended up accidentally becoming a Shadow sorcerer and phantom rogue used the inheritor to have blackrazor given to me by the shadowfell queen, but he made it a long sword for me and for it not to do any harm to me sense my character was considered the adopted Prince of the shadowfell.btw my character race is a half moon elf.

Interesting. Blackrazor technically isn’t related to the Shadowfell.
The description of the Hexblade Warlock class begs to differ:
You have made your pact with a mysterious entity from the Shadowfell — a force that manifests in sentient magic weapons carved from the stuff of shadow. The mighty sword Blackrazor is the most notable of these weapons, which have been spread across the multiverse over the ages...
Because the Raven Queen is known to have forged the first of these weapons, many sages speculate that she and the force are one and that the weapons, along with hexblade warlocks, are tools she uses to manipulate events on the Material Plane to her inscrutable ends.

My bad.
To use the passage you just gave, obtaining Blackrazor means you now have ownership (or at least coexistence) of a warlock patron. Ask your DM about the implications of this.
Hi guys I'm currently working on a book in the dnd universe that largely focuses around the Blackrazor but I can't find much info on it

There's info and stats in the DMG I believe, under "sentient magic items"
Ok so I know the stuff from the dmg but I'm wondering things like who made it and how it got to white plume mountain

"Not all those who wander are lost"
Ok Im planning for blackrazor to have a twin made from positive energy and just wanted to check if it contradicted anything
