New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Block Starz Music) Omaha, Nebraska rap group Block Movement has released another web video as part of the promotion for their upcoming Block Starz Music, www.blockstarzmusic.com, debut album, "N.A.F.T.A.", which is slated to drop late summer. In addition to a series of Youtube clips titled the "Da Block Report", Block Movement, which consists of members Latin Threat (born Joshua Bates), Stylo (born Rolando Valadez), and S. Gats (born
Kevin Fredericks), has been criss-crossing the United States on an aggressive tour schedule.
In this new music video, Latin Threat is joined by HD of Oakland, California rap outfit Bearfaced Gang on the track called "Once In A While". HD was recently named one of 2012's "Bay Area Freshman 10".
Block Movement was brought to the attention of Block Starz executives by their manager
David "Cin'atra" Lee of Deep Groove Entertainment.
"They presented a great opportunity to us through our manager," says Block Movement's unofficial spokesman and leader Latin Threat, who founded the group with partner Stylo in 2003. "I've known Cin'atra for years and our relationship made it easy to sign with Deep Groove for management and make the move to Block Starz for distribution and marketing."

Music affiliate Wiz Khalifa's roster at Taylor Gang, is also a confirmed feature on the "N.A.F.T.A." album.
