This week we welcome the legendary hip hop producer and photodump specialist Blockhead back into the Pit! As it’s been so long since his last appearance, we were absolutely brimming with things to talk about.

So of course, we do a lightweight Song Spelunker into the one and only Ganksta N-I-P, talk more awful pizza, and talk his upcoming project Boatshoes with Brian Ennals. We also talk about trading mixtapes on message boards in the late 90s, and how Blockhead managed to distribute his and Aesop Rock’s music without typical distribution.

And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where you can access our brand new exclusive podcast:

No5talgia! That’s right, an entire, brand new, exclusive podcast for our specialist supporters. Last week we broke down our top 5 summer blockbusters and this week we’ll release our top 5 musical subgenres!!
