Back in 2008 we released netBloc Vol. 14, as always that compilation was packed with incredible Creative Commons licensed music. Closing it out was Time (Reprise) (Closing Credits), a terrific track by UK artist Virtu-oso. That was the first time we were introduced to the sonic workmanship of that artist. However, it was not the last.

V-Man also remixed songs for a couple blocSonic artists over the years. First, he remixed Badluck’s Case Closed from the maxBloc single of the same name and then he remixed Friends or Whatever’s The Burns We Earn also found on the maxBloc single of the same name.

All of that happened in 2011 and earlier… so what’s he done since you ask? Well, he went on to continue doing solo and collaborative projects as well as remixing for independent UK artists. He also notably produced Homeboy Sandman’s Earth, Wind, Fire, Water from the 2016 Stones Throw Records album Kindness For Weakness and had one of his songs featured on Series 6 of the BBC’s sitcom, Ideal.

Today we’re thrilled to say that he formally arrives at blocSonic with his own project. A personal one that’s sort of a thank you / tribute to friends and music artists that have held him down and inspired him over the years. After all these years, it’s great to be able to release this and welcome him to the blocSonic team!

Yo M.V.A… it’s crazy dope to FINALLY have you on board here at the bloc! Welcome to the fam! Keep the music coming.

Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it!

Yo… get ready… heads are about to be put on to something ILL! Today we drop one more fortyFive by A.Moss before the release of his incredible new EP, Gravel King on July 19th. Side A is a brand new mix of NOBADMON, a MUST HEAR track originally released a few years ago on soundcloud… pure fire. I was a fan of A DOT before he dropped this, but IMO, this one set him apart as a truly versatile EMCEE. Side B is a brand new joint recorded especially for inclusion on one of his fortFives and here we go! For this one, the blocSonic crew pulled out all the stops and made something special happen. Featuring Donnie Ozone, CM aka Creative, Marcus J(sadly, his final recorded verse), C-Doc, cheese, Pot-C and BadluckPosse On Bloc is some of that ol’ BOOM BAP shit. As the name suggests it’s a classic posse cut in the spirit of Marley Marl’sThe Symphony. Five minutes and fifty-one seconds of back to back lyrical skill from a few of blocSonic’s talented squad of MCs. Enjoy.

Mega thanks goes out to A.Moss, C-Doc and the rest of the blocSonic crew! Rest in Power, Marcus J… so glad that you could be part of Posse On Bloc and deliver one of your dopest verses!
