"And The Band Played On!" -The Block's 1st Music Video "It's A Toast"

During the summer (around July to be exact) the Block Association released an anniversary mixtape ("Crew Love") that featured the original single "It's A Toast" custom made for the team to be our anthem of sorts. Now fast forward 5 months later and we are FINALLY getting around to doing a video for it! However it WAS more than perfect timing to drop it to help promo not only the Block members, to familiarize yourself with our faces (you'll be seeing ALOT of us next year starting with THIS weekend LOL), but to help you understand how SERIOUS our (first ever in the city) NYE party "OCEAN'S 13" will be! So without further ado, here's some descriptive commentary by artist Chris Faust on the Block Boys lifestyle. FYI: the track was done by none other than producer J Kits (Google him!) who just completed several tracks on Trey Songz latest album. Yeah..we're that MAJOR!

"We Got The POWER!" NYC's Historic Brunch Is Just Days Away! RSVP NOW!

Since the Summer ended the Block Association has been scheming on a way to not only create a legendary event that would become a NEW tradition to attend in NYC, but also something that would cap the WHOLE year off that had a "WOW!" effect. And being that our niche has become daytime parties with over 600 in attendance, we collectively thought "How (if possible) could we make it even BIGGER?" And we figured out just HOW! Put the BEST people we've worked with and invited out to our events all in ONE  (sexy ass large) room! The owners of SLATE (the venue of choice we're hosting it at) came out to our brunch event at TOP CHEF Kitchen and were amazed at the look of the crowd and wanted to get in on the action. Which is the PERFECT venue (size, location, etc.) we needed to pull this one in a lifetime year ending event off! As you can tell from all the capitalized words & exclamation points I'm using that I'm tremendously excited about this one. WHY you ask? Simple...It's NEVER been done...period! Not only will it be the FIRST brunch party ever hosted at the venue, it will be the FIRST time the Block, Blacklight Ent, Showcase AND Empire Entity has ever done a party there! Let alone the FIRST time we've all worked together on ONE single event! All that is reason alone that this will be "the one" to f**k with as you get readyfor our FIRST NYE event in the city ("OCEAN'S 13") the very next night! There's NO COVER so there's NO worry about cutting into your New Year's Eve bottle budget. LOL.  Anyways, below are "finish line, last push promo, bonus edition" fliers to get the buzz buzzing!

Oh you thought Santa was busy around this time of year huh? That old man ain't got S**T on the Block Association this season! Real talk, we have a NICE lil' line up to set up to end of the year off right my friend. We got some GREAT news and ALMOST great news that we wanna share. Okay okay okay, first off TONIGHT the team was hired to launch a BRAND NEW venue in the W.Village called CAPPELLO with a Grand Opening that will lead into a weekly Friday affair if all goes according to plan (I.E. you show yo ass up tonight & support lol)! We're calling it "Feel Good Fridays" but has since shortened it to "GOOD FRIDAYS" moving forward. BONG! So that's that...Then next week (December 20, 2011 from 7-12am) we'll be guest hosting the 3rd Annual Holiday Dreams toy drive for the less fortunate ones @ Cornerstone Restaurant and Bar (271 Dekalb Ave, Brooklyn, NY). Next day after that we're right back inn CAPPELLO for our 1st Annual " BAD SANTA" Holiday Office Party! We're a business right? We have a office correct? So why can't we do an office party?!? Dec. 28th CAPPELLO again for another edition of "GOOD FRIDAYS" (hello...it's a weekly people!) Then (listen up clearly now) Sunday Dec. 30th we start a NEW year ending tradition with "the POWER Brunch!" Thee LARGEST daytime brunch event ever thrown in NYC! AND (get this) the 1st EVER brunch party thrown in SLATE (54 W.21st St)...PERIOD! Now we've done daytime events with both BlackLight Entertainment and Showcase Entertainment before, but never both AT THE SAME DAMN TIME! Say it with me...TRIFECTA! If you're NOT excited about what you just read then I'm not quite sure you understand the language that I'm speaking! Maybe you ain't hearing me right but I basically saying THREE of the most respected event groups...in NYC... on ONE daytime event! (Jumping around like I got the Holy Ghost!) WOO! That's rare ni**a! Rick Flair ni**a! WOO! The power's in my hair ni**a! Pop a molly I'm sweatin' WOO! LMFAO! So yeah you get it, that one will be MAJOR! Almost bigger than the NYE event we're STILL in the mist of planning. Just trying to fine tune this so it's to you guys liking. SORRY for the wait. Anyways here photos from our last meeting deep in back and forth 2 hr debate about WHAT to freakin' order for food!!! SMDH. FYI..frank's & burger (inside joke). Oh before I forget I "leaked" some flier images for that "POWER" joint tell me which one you're digging the most!
