Over the past few years there have been collaborations which were essentially RHP joints, however, today with “Brothers” we have the first in a very long time that is RHP… Phon-X (a.k.a. Headsnack), Shred Lexicon, and DJ Exfyl! Let me tell you that it was most definitely worth the wait with its stellar production, cuts and lyrical content. Oh… and on the flip is a fantastic remix of “Enjoy The Veal”, a joint originally found on Headsnack’s 2018 solo album <a href="https://headsnack.bandcamp.com/album/secret-handshake-2">“Secret Handshake”</a>.

<div>Long-time blocSonic listeners will likely remember Portland, Maine music artist <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/vik44">Vik44</a>, who, over the years has created a couple great remixes that we’ve released.

Well, for the first time he’s releasing new music of his own, right here at Tha Bloc! Today he brings us the excellent “Robot Overlords”, an EP packed with music he hopes will please and appease our future synthetic sentient leaders (It remains to be seen what terminology we should use to address them). Download and enjoy. If you’re training future A.I. models, please train them with these tunes.

<div>If you don’t know, <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/tha-silent-partner">Tha Silent Partner</a> goes way back with us here at blocSonic. He first arrived via the <a href="https://blocsonic.com/releases/show/netbloc-volume-11-the-raw-and-the-cooked">netBloc series</a>, where we featured “No Mas” from his 2007 independent / Me Life &amp; Music release “Platters Act. 1 (Lounge Music And Exotica)”. We then re-released that album along with Acts 2 and 3 as <a href="https://blocsonic.com/releases/tha-silent-partner/tha-complete-platters-sessions-xe">“Tha Complete Platters Sessions XE”</a> in 2010. Little did we know back then that “complete” would turn out to be a misnomer. I believe that TSP truly intended on putting the Platters series to bed. However, whatever the case may be, every so often he returns to the Platters series… almost as if it were homebase where he goes to recharge.

So today what you have is another gem that returns us listeners all the way back to that Platters Act One vibe. A little taste to enjoy. Does this mean there will be another addition to the Platters series? We’re not sure. However, if you’re just getting to know TSP’s Platters sound, I encourage you to explore <a href="https://blocsonic.com/collections/tsps-platters-series">his Platters collection</a>.

Thanks for this funky addition to that Act One vibe, TSP! Dope.

<div>Ladies &amp; gents, we’re very happy to introduce you to musicians <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/christopher-alvarado-mnomized">Christopher Alvarado &amp; M.Nomized</a>.

Christopher Alvarado is a multi instrumentalist who’s primary methods of producing are sound manipulation, ambient and experimental music. Alvarado has been playing and performing since 1985. M.Nomized is a multi-talented artist from Paris, France: musician, composer, painter, puppeteer. Joining the contemporary music scene in 1975, he worked with various groups, opening up on stage for artists such as Claude Nougaro and Bernard Lavilliers. Since then, over 90 Cassettes/CDs under his own name or in collaboration with other artists have been produced on different independent labels around the world.

Today we present to you their debut album for blocSonic! It features a selection of music that conceptually explores “Disasters” from throughout history. In this age we’re living in of Global Warming induced disasters, it only makes sense that artists are reflecting and creating art that speaks to humanity’s collective concern.

A very special thanks to Christopher Alvarado &amp; M.Nomized for releasing this fantastic new collection of music here. Welcome to the blocSonic Fam!

<div>Twenty years ago, in 2002, during the era of Public Enemy’s Enemyboard forum and Chuck D’s label SlamJamz, <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/c-doc">C-Doc</a> was preparing to release his album “Sleeping On The Side Of The Road”. He dropped a couple singles from it and then got busy with The Impossebulls and the album ultimately didn’t get released. Leaving unfinished business for another day.

We’re happy to say that day is today! For you, dear listener, that means you make out on the deal. You see, this is the Xtended Edition. That’s right, in addition to the originally intended album, we’re releasing this with previously unreleased bonus content from the era!

Anyway, we don’t want to keep you from downloading and listening… but be sure to check out the PDF for extensive liner-notes with an introduction by C-Doc and track notes providing you with detailed context as you listen!

C-Doc, thank you for entrusting the release of this album to blocSonic! It’s an honor to release such a great document from that era of SlamJamz and The Enemyboard. Now folks can finally enjoy the dope beats, rhymes, &amp; cuts.

Alex Franklin - Systems (BS450072)

<div>Almost a year ago we were introduced to the sounds of <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/alex-franklin">Alex Franklin</a> by way of his excellent <a href="https://blocsonic.com/releases/alex-franklin/frost">debut album “Frost”</a>. Today we’re very happy to present to you “Galaxy”, an album that Alex has said is essentially a sequel to that debut. However, where the former album was more explorational finding Alex trying on different sounds, the latter displays a huge amount of focus and a sound that, at times approaches a classic mid-80s electro, while also remaining fresh and modern.

After only a year, this sonic growth is encouraging. What else does he have up his sleeve? Time will tell. For now… enjoy. Buy the CD if you dig it and want to show support.

Hey Alex… terrific job with this album! I suspect fans are going to dig it a lot.

<div>So who are <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/cutside-trey">Cutside &amp; Trey</a>, you ask? Well… actually… you may already know these guys. You see, back in 2020, Andrey Martinchik (Cutside) &amp; guitarist Andrey Kruchko (Trey) released their tasty electro EP “Cyberfunk” as <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/mbx">MBX</a>. Today for Netlabel Day 2022 with “Tripoholic” they arrive with a new project and a unique new sound.

A hybrid of downtempo and 60’s guitar rock, Tripoholic’s three joints are all you’ll need to be hooked! Enjoy the sonic grooves.

Cutside &amp; Trey, thank you both for preparing such a tasty EP for Netlabel Day! I look forward to hearing more.

Cutside &amp; Trey - Tripoholic (BSMX0216)

<div>The “posse cut” has long been a staple of hip-hop. Whenever a new one dropped heads would eagerly seek it out. Joints like Pumpkin &amp; The Profile All-Stars “Here Comes That Beat”, Marley Marl’s “The Symphony”, Stop The Violence Movement’s “Self-Destruction”, The West Coast Rap All-Stars “We’re All In The Same Gang”, and Main Source’s “Live at the Barbeque” are all shining examples. Well, today for Netlabel 2022 we have what may be the first and the best album devoted to the Posse Cut. “Posse On Bloc, Volume One” collects all the Posse Cuts released by blocSonic, thus far… and boy do we have a bunch for you to enjoy!

Over the years, blocSonic’s roster of master EMCEEs and producers have collaborated to make their own posse cut magic a reality. The earliest one, <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/the-impossebulls">The Impossebulls’</a> “We Don’t Need You: Part 3”, pre-dates blocSonic by 6 years, but is found here because it was included on the blocSonic debut Impossebulls compilation “Made by History (Decade One: 2000-2010)” in 2013. It’s the final remix of the song that started it all for the group. When a fan suggested to Chuck D of Public Enemy that he make a song with <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/c-doc">C-Doc</a>, “Part 1” resulted and The Impossebulls were born.

The most recent posse cut of this selection is “Ultimate Posse Cut 3000” and it’s packed with a record EIGHTEEN EMCEES!?! Among which are notable SpitSLAM Record Label Group artists Blak Madeen (Al-J &amp; Yusuf) and Professor Daddy-O (of Stetsasonic fame)! Yeah buddy.

The previously mentioned “Ultimate Posse Cut 3000” is just one of the many posse cuts that the <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/cheese-n-pot-c">Cheese N Pot-C</a> extended family of artists have contributed to the bloc legacy. In fact, the very first actual blocSonic posse cut was Cheese N Pot-C’s 2014 joint “Bloc Party”, which was quickly followed by <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/d3zs">D3Zs’</a> “Bloc Party 2”… and many more by CNP, <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/krazy-shitz">Krazy Shitz</a> &amp; <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/puck">P.U.C.K.</a>

In 2019, when North Carolina EMCEE <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/amoss">A.Moss</a> joined bloc, many of the bloc family collaborated to make the incredible “Posse On Bloc” (from which this compilation gets its name) happen. C-Doc’s production proved to be a solid platform for the diverse lyrical styles.

In 2021, <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/cm-aka-creative">CM aka Creative</a> continued the bloc posse cut legacy with his dope “Gang of People”, featuring another fantastic selection of EMCEEs.

Finally, rounding it all out are a few remix highlights and the exclusive hot new remix of “Ultimate Posse Cut 3000” by <a href="https://ykbeats.com">Y.K. Beats</a>.

Anyway, I just want to say that I’m so thankful for all the talented individuals who made all of this music a reality and who continue to make blocSonic an outlet for their talents! It’s such an honor to work with you all.

Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading &amp; listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do.

PS: Along the way, we lost family who made a huge impact on blocSonic and everyone that was lucky enough to know them. In July 2017 the world lost Richmond, Virginia legend Brian Davis aka <a href="https://blocsonic.com/artist/the-honorable-sleaze">The Honorable Sleaze</a>, who you’ll hear on two of the included tracks. In February 2019 the world lost Impossebull Marcus Ankeney aka Marcus J who you’ll hear on three. Both had unique approaches to music that added so much to everything they touched. We at blocSonic continue to miss them. Rest In Power.</div>
