"The term legend is thrown around loosely in hip-hop. It sometimes seems that any stumblebum who has made it past 30 without dying is entitled to the adulation of internet boys and the various rags they support. But what of one Mr. Block Mccloud? He has innovated lyricism and founded one of the most seminal crews in New York's second golden age. He plotted one of the most successful underground concept singles ever released, and most importantly, he survived the inevitable soul grinding shadiness that the talented seem to always suffer at the hands of the unscrupulous. Through all of this he has refined his writing, his business acumen, and kept spitting the verses that make future generations of dope MC's smack rewind till the button breaks."

"Born Ismael Diaz Jr., in Park Slope, Planet Brooklyn, Block certainly was in the right place to absorb cultural and stylistic influences. Like every rapper reared in the sacred borough, he is quick to credit its social collage as key in spurring his development. " I was raised in Park Slope which was and is still a very eclectic and culturally and economically diverse neighborhood," Block explains. " North of 5th avenue, very paid. South of 5th avenue, strictly ghetto."

"His snarling, growling, syllable-heavy, cannon flow mad him a distinctive presence on wax; the type of MC other MC's strive to emulate. He and His Brooklyn Academy brethren had the lyrics and the dark charisma needed to dominate...
      ...But dispite the lack of access to his material, he has achieved cult-like international fame as one of the most brutal spitters alive."

"Now with the benefit of over a decade and a half in the game he is ready to claim the prizes he so rightfully deserves...
      — Daniel Muessig, Elemental Magazine, 2006.

"I never thought going in that id have an opportunity to work with some of the cats ive worked with and to be procclaimed a *"legend" , thats certainly an honor and something that i look forward to solidifying within this game, this year"
      — Block Mccloud

Growing up in Park Slope Brooklyn, Block Mccloud first made his name with a group called Zooty Zoo, appearing on the Ecko Unlimited MixTapes that they'd give out for free with a purchase of a T-shirt. He then went on to appear on The Lyricist Lounge Volume 1 Compilation Album with Talib Kweli and Shabamm Sadik and of course his other group Word a mouth. By then Block Mccloud had already embedded his name on the Underground Asphalt with his gritty and unmistakable flow and complex rhyme skemes. Speaking of Skeme, he then founded the "Super Group" Brooklyn Academy and released a single with 321 Records called Plan A. Skeme Team was their alter ego on that single and it went on to sell 30,000 units and was the biggest selling single for that label. Brooklyn Academy soon caught the attention of Mammoth Records and if not for the labels untimely buy-Out by Disney, would have signed a $300,000 deal and God only knows where they'd be today.

Block Mccloud kept it moving, recording Jean Grae's, Pumpkinhead's, and Black Panther's next few albums (Attack of the Attacking Things, Code Red, Beatiful Mind, The Darkest Night Ever) and begins establishing himself as a premiere Engineer.

In 2006, He officially assumed his rightful place in the Underground Hip-hop Hall of fame when he released his classic solo albums, "Spitting Image" and "I was Drunk when i made this".

From There Block Begins his onslaught of the Chorus Game writing such classic hooks as Style Wars(Jean Grae), Mess You Made (Sean Price) and Outlive The War, Deadly Melody and God Flesh (Jedi Mind Tricks). You can also find him on MF Grimm's American Hunger Album, Soul Purpose, Diabolic and Thirstin howl albums and many more (See Discography).

And its no wonder they call him "Captain Hook" now, with upcoming choruses for Poison Pen, Doap Nixon, Killah Priest, Snowgoons, King Magnetic, Autism (Australia), Demunz (Canada), Sick Jacken (Cali), and many many more, he has easily become the Akon of the Underground scene and soon to be Mainstream. As an official member of Army of The Pharaohs!!, you will also hear him all over the upcoming AOTP release in 2009.

He has contributed to the success of so many in this game. Now, its his turn. Block Mccloud has begun re-"Educating" the masses with his group Brooklyn Academy / Bored of Education(EMI/Goldust), " Tearing it Down" on every stage across the country and the world. With two solo albums(Four Walls produced by Snowgoons and Perversion in D minor as well as two Lost Soulz full length LP's(Purgatory/Asylum) scheduled to be released through his independent label Disturbia Music Group in association with Well Done Entertainment, He will be hitting the industry like a Hurricane in 2009!! ... Block Mccloud, The storm is coming!! .
