Last week Neak released this Power track that features frequent collaborator Rashid Hadee. This Slot-A produced joint will not end up on Neak’s upcoming Paura/Amore. Neak has stated that he’ll be taking his time with his new record, and that it’s just getting underway, so follow him on twitter for more updates as they come. Mug.
After a month hiatus, DJ MetroGnome & us at BDTB are back with the regularly scheduled program for our Writer’s Block event at Sabbatical (in Indianapolis). This months Writer’s Block event will feature Chicago by way of Michigan talent Slot-A, as well as the production/live stylings of Indianapolis’ Echomaker.
Additionally, as with all our Writer’s Block events, producers and emcees are encouraged to come out and mingle, network, and talk with each other. The producers at the end of the night will have the opportunity to play beats of their own on the open decks. COME BUILD BRIDGES AND SHOWCASE YOURSELF!

Slot-A hits us with a visual for “Good Morning”, which is a really dope track off of his recent The Transition release that came out about a month ago. If you’ve yet to bump this project fully, I suggest you do. You can check it out here.

The winners of this years Wrap Up were EJAAZ, DJ MetroGnome, Sirius Blvck with Digital Rabbit, Blake Allee, The Pro Letarians, and Lonegevity. We also have an interview with Chicago reppers Slot-A, Mike Schpitz, Papi Jamon, and DJ Ves120. Check the full publication out below, and feel free to give us some feedback!
