Blockhead produced nine tracks on Aesop Rock’s critically acclaimed album Labor Days. Additionally he produced half the tracks on Aesop’s follow up EP, Daylight. He has also worked with other indie giants such as Slug of Atmosphere, Murs, Mike Ladd and SA Smash. In between, he found time to complete a break beat album entitled Blockhead’s Broke Beats, with ten hard-hitting instrumental tracks, which was released on Mush Records, the US home of CLOUDDEAD. And just to prove that he ain’t about art-rap, Blockhead produced two tracks on the newly crowned Skribble Jam Battle Champ, MacLethal’s full-length album.
An idea of the esteem he is held in Stateside can be gleaned from the fact that he has also contributed three tracks (including the first single) for Cage’s new album on Def Jux. The other producers on the project are DJ Shadow, El-P and RJD2.
All this in addition to his debut album on Ninja Tune, “Music By Cavelight,” described as “one of the most fantastically good albums you’re going to hear this year” (Sunday Telegraph) and “a beautfiul record” (Metro), with Blockhead himself tipped as “definitely one to watch” (Touch). The quiet man’s hour has come…
On “The Music Scene”, New York hip hop producer Tony Simon aka Blockhead returns with his third and best instrumental album for Ninja Tune.
