Cool hearing Billy Woods and Blockhead's "Pro Wrestling" as the song of the week the other week on the Art of Wrestling podcast - http://tsmradio.com/coltcabana/2014/03/ ... ich-swann/

Coincidentally, the next week had Buff Bagwell and the song of the week was the "American Males" theme, so it was in good company - http://tsmradio.com/coltcabana/2014/03/ ... f-bagwell/
Check out my FREE album featuring MAC LETHAL, ALASKA from HANGAR 18, HOMEBOY SANDMAN and J57 of the BROWN BAG ALL STARS -

beats. lyrics. song structure.
no bullshit attempts for attention or image-bolstering.

this is all goodness.
it gives me some sparkly fucking hope that this culture isn't full of thoughtless idiots.

oh, and then that horn. :bow:

p.s. "grilchiest" is the best hip hop word I've learned in 2014 thus far :cheers:

Not for nothing Bender, but I've been telling you about Spekt (and others) for years every time you said there were no raw, intelligent rappers left. Glad you finally found your way to the grilchy, though.

I never really slept on Spekt but I think I could not make out where I heard his name before. When he mentioned Broady Champs and some other affiliations, it started making sense. Can't wait til I hear the whole album. Good shit, Block.

Yo if you haven't gone to one of Block's shows, you should. It's great music to black out to.

I wish I had got a gig there but the timing didn't work out. I had a good time last time I played there. Hopefully, I'll get back there after my new album drops.

I got a booking agent and all that. We were look at the U music hall but they already got shit booked when I would have been able to come through there. Bad timing.

Man, you coulda easily got DC9 if you wanted to as well. Or maybe even Rock And Roll Hotel. Either way, see if you can come thru in the fall after the album drops.

So you're saying Block is #teamalpha now? Or are you retroactively deeming the last two and a half years part of the alpha era? I'm confused.

I'd rather this be a one page failure than be a apart of the alpha movement. Luckily, nether of things is even remotely true so, all good over here.

OT:

Block, when was the last time you spoke with LoDeck?

Any idea what he's up to?

Trying to track him down but don't have his math anymore.
