The Aux, new upcoming album from Blockhead dropping November 17, 2023, is a giant exclamation point on what has already been a big year for Backwoodz Studioz, as well as Blockhead’s first rap album since Garbology, his 2021 collaboration with Aesop Rock. The Aux finds the veteran producer playing matchmaker with some of his favorite artists and the result is an indie hip-hop All-Star game of an album; highlight reel dunks, allez-oops, and deep threes coming too fast to count. Blockhead tapped billy woods as an executive producer, and between the two of them put together a tracklist that effortlessly weaves together artists from different eras and scenes.
