So, Blockhead’s new album The Music Scene has been available digitally for about a month now, but the physical release date is still a little more than a month away (Jan 12). You may know Blockhead from his work with Aesop Rock (among other indie MCs). When it comes to the genre known as downtempo hip hip, you’d be hard pressed to find another artist so skilled in telling stories without the aid of vocals. Listen…
