Block Squad is an american hip hop group from New York started in 2007.Its Current members are Young Rade,Yung Ciggy Bully Flamez and Casio.

THE ORIGINAL FOUR

ALTHOUGH BLOCK SQUAD WAS FOUNDED BY RAP ARTIST YOUNG RADE THE OTHER TWO ORIGINAL MEMBERS WERE YUNG CIGGY AND FORMER MEMBER JAY STREETS. THE IDEA CAME ABOUT WHEN THE TRIO ATTENDED SCHOOL TOGETHER IN 2007.WITHIN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS THE GROUP HAD RECORDED A DOZEN SONGS AND PREPARED TO RELEASE THEIR FIRST MIXTAPE. BUT WITHOUT THE RIGHT PROMOTION THINGS BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN THE GROUP. HOPING TO MAKE AN IMPACT IN THE STREETS GROUP LEADER YOUNG RADE CONTACTED HIP HOP DVD OWNERS TO GET THE GROUP OFF THE GROUND WITH THE EXPOSURE THAT THEY NEEDED.IN MARCH OF 2008 THEY LANDED A SPOT ON THE RAP DVD HOOD PASS.WHICH ALSO FEATURED RAP GROUP THE DEAD END BOYZ WHO YOUNG RADE WAS ALSO A MEMBER OF.YUNG CIGGY WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THE PERFORMANCE BUT JAY STREETS AND DEAD END BOY FOUNDER MO DA GOD WERE UP FOR THE TASK.WHEN THE FOOTAGE WAS RELEASED JAY STREETS WAS SEEN AS THE WEAKEST LINK AND TALKS BEGAN ABOUT REPLACING HIM FOR THE GROUP TO BE SUCCESSFUL. WHEN YUNG CIGGY AND YOUNG RADE APPROACHED THE OTHER MEMBER AND SIMPLY TOLD HIM TO PRACTICE MORE ON HIS LYRICS HE FELT THEY WERE TRYING TO HURT HIS CAREER INSTEAD OF BENEFITING IT. HE THEN STOPPED RECORDING WITH THE GROUP AND REALEASED A DISS TRACK ABOUT HIS FORMER ASSOCIATES. THE SONG WAS TITLED "ONE SHOT" IN WHICH HE STATED YOUNG RADE WAS A GOOD RAPPER BUT NOT A GANGSTER AND YUNG CIGGY WAS JUST A PUPPET BEING USED BY HIS COUNTERPART.YOUNG RADE ANSWERED WITH A TRACK TITLED "BULLETPROOF" WHICH EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AT HAND AND AT THE SAME TIME DISRESPECTING THE GROUPS FORMER MEMBER.STATING THAT JAY STREETS WAS A NOBODY BEFORE RAPPING WITH THE GROUP AND WAS JUST JEALOUS OF THE OTHER GROUP MEMBERS TALENTS.

THE DYNAMIC DUO

THE GROUP ATTEMPTED A NEW MIXTAPE WITH DEAD END BOY MEMBER LOS BUT DUE TO LACK OF PROMOTION IT WAS DELAYED. SEEMING TO BE ANOTHER ROAD BLOCK FOR THE GROUP YOUNG RADE RELEASED A SOLO MIXTAPE "DIARY OF A MOBSTER" ALTHOUGH IT RECEIVED GOOD FEED BACK IT WASN'T THE SAME A RECORDING WITH THE GROUP.

THE CLASSIC FOUR

PREPARING TO RELEASE A FOLLOW UP TO HIS SOLO MIXTAPE DIARY OF A MOBSTER YOUNG RADE STOPPED THE RELEASE TO FOCUS ON HIS GROUP AND WHAT WAS THERE NEXT MOVE GOING TO BE.WHILE LIVING IN THE HEMPSTEAD AREA OF LONG ISLAND AFTER HIS MOVE FROM QUEENS HE LINKED UP RAPPER BULLY FLAME WHO HAD HIM CONVINCED THEY FINALLY HAD THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF RAPPERS.ALONG WITH ADDING HIS OLD HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND AND R AND B SINGER CASIO INTO THE GROUPS LINEUP.THIS MAKES UP THE CLASSIC FOUR WHO ARE PLANNING TO RELEASE THEIR DEBUT ALBUM "TIME WILL TELL" THEIR FIRST SINGLE WILL BE A TRACK TITLED "IM GONE" AND WILL BE AVAILABLE ON I TUNES RHAPSODY AND MANY MORE MUSICAL WEBSITES. BE PREPAIRED OF MORE TO COME FROM HIP HOPS NEXT BEST THING BLOCK SQUAD.

MUSICAL STYLES:YOUNG RADE HAS THE COMBINED TALENT OF LYRICISM AND SONG STRUCTURE WHICH INCLUDES METAPHORICAL VERSES AND CATCHY CHORUSES. YUNG CIGGY CATCHES LISTENERS WITH LYRICS FULL OF WORDPLAY AND ENERGY IN EVERY SONG BULLY FLAME IS THE DEFINITION OF A LYRICAL ASSASSIN WITH MAFIOSO VERSES AND SMOOTH DELIVERY CASIO SINGING ABILITY STANDS OUT WITH HIS DIFFERENT VOICE RANGES AND SONG WRITING.
