"Started Thinkin' Bout DR, Now We're HERE!" -NEW DRAKE "Started From The Bottom" Video Remixed By the Block Boys

Months in the making the Block Association (aka "the Block Boys") have been planning to do a lil' R&R, team bonding vaca' for a extended weekend for a while now! We set the date for March 7th but the excitement had been building for years! And let me tell you it's not from a lack of trying, but simply getting all NINE members (now 12 including the High Flyers Club) on the SAME schedule! Especially when most of our members are jet setters already. But it happened! And as expected it was THE BEST TRIP EVER!!! I was the most fun I've had recently in my adult life...Hands down! We totally enjoy each others company in a small livingroom setting, but the change of environment was definitely a bonus! Praying that the storm didn't f**k up our plans, we all managed to escape from NYC in the nick of time. Even though half the team missed their flight at the airport (?!?) leaving out. But I'll save that story for another time. But until then peep the reckless lifestyle we got into while you we're freezing your asses off in NYC! LOL. S/O to "THOR"  aka "Chris Hemsworth" aka "Spartacus" and "Dave" our accountant, for making a cameo in the beach scenes. And to @Kimmycakes25 & @Floridagirl1020 for being so freakin' COOL the whole trip! Now without any further interruptions here's "Started from the Bottom" video by DRAKE remixed Block Boys style!

"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!
