Just Plain Ant is back with another fresh collection of his unique brand of hip-hop — beats, jazzy samples and a host of guests who each add their own flavor to the mix.

We’ve also got some new names — Black Liquid, Braintrust, Mic Jordan, Gordy Michael, NOTE, Octavion Xcellence, Photosynthesizers and last but not least… the INCREDIBLE… Chuck D!

Friends Or Whatever - Friends Or Whatever [2010]

blocSonic is quite proud to present to you the self-titled debut by Richmond, Virginia artist Friends or Whatever. With its fusion of shimmering electronica and a raw rock vibe, FoW proves to be a very engaging listen. At times quiet and contemplative… at other times beat-driven and laced with distorted guitar and melancholic vocals. All the while a bit challenging to put your finger on and yet it’s quickly familiar. It’s that very enigmatic nature that’s sure to pull you in. -blocsonic

Just Plain Ant - Songs About Something [2009]

"This is a project I randomly decided to start one day in order to introduce you to my mind. Dig Deep was a project that was similar in some ways, but it was more of a compilation than something that actually reflected my mindstate. I've been getting really bored with hip-hop lately, but naturally, I didn't want to stop making music, so I decide to jump into a different genre: trip-hop/downtempo. It's my first release in said genre, so I hope that I've been successful with my endeavors in something different." - Just Plain Ant
