I listen to
Blockhead's discography
like a long
movie I never
want to end.
An instrumental
journey of dilated
pupils, truly
untouchable grooves,
and orchestrated
mayhem.
Like going
to the circus
with a pocket
full of kaleidoscopes.
While he has fully
produced for numerous
vocalists (Billy Woods
and Aesop Rock),
Blockhead's newest
album, his seventh,
is his first
solo release
to feature
guest vocalists.
While almost half
of the album
remains instrumental,
Free Sweatpants also
features Tree, Vic Spencer
(the two of whom
released a collaborative
album at the top
of this year),
Open Mike Eagle,
Aesop Rock, Homeboy
Sandman, Armand Hammer,
Hemlock Ernst,
and various others.
It's been out
in the world
for about three
months and I hope
you've already
listened as many
times as I have.
