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.

Last u heard, he lives in Vegas. Haven't spoken to him in a few years though.

Yo, Block, what can I do to get you to review demos/projects? Srz question.

You mean for the "demo reviews" column, on my blog? Just send it in to me (Phatfriendblog@gmail.com) . But, gotta admit, i'd feel weird reviewing someone who I kinda know.

[ardamus]

Its ok, Block. If you hate my music, I'll just rap over your free beats and make worse songs out of them. Deal?

That's fine. Send it in. Just make sure it's all original content. I won't review you rapping over my beats. That's just weird.

[Dusty Fingers]

Respect everybody and appreciate the helpful information. Able to link back up and all is good.

Johnny23 forever... Love your work Block and hopefully one day the stars align and you get to do something together again!!

[Dusty Fingers]

I've still never heard that album he did over block's beats. This thing? http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/LoDECK3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I guess I should just ante up the $5 but I fucking hate paying for downloads.

Cool. I understand that.
Ok, be on the lookout then for two albums I will send to you.

[Sebastion Shaw]

Tinseltown remix is dope! I always like when Spekt and Woods collab. Is Billy Woods on the new album?

Nope. But, i agree that Spekt and Woods always sound good together.

I did the song "The press" on "half measures". i don't think i have any beside that though. I remixed Omega 3 a while back too.

backwoodz sent out an email about the new Armand Hammer EP which i assume is what he's talking about:

Furtive Movements in stores August 5, 2014.
New EP from Armand Hammer (Elucid & billy woods)
billy woods and Elucid are Armand Hammer, the NYC rap duo whose 2013 debut, RACE MUSIC, made waves with its blend of aggressive, experimental production and uncompromising lyrics. Their new EP, Furtive Movements, is both a continuation of, and departure from, their previous work. Fragmented musings of an imagined diaspora. Brooklyn bullshit in the shadow of construction scaffolding. Summer’s dog days set to the hiss of dusty vinyl. Drums wobbling drunkenly over ethereal loops. Elucid and woods hold down the lyrics with only one guest, the effusive Curly Castro, but Furtive Movements features an array of production from Blockhead (Aesop Rock, Ninja Tune), Von Pea (Tanya Morgan), Messiah Musik, Steel Tipped Dove and Elucid himself.

This is not an addendum to RACE MUSIC but a fully realized project in its own right with its own distinct aesthetic, mood and perspective. The EP will be available digitally and limited-edition colored vinyl (transparent orange).

TRACKLISTING:
