Columbus, OH (1888PressRelease)
June 22, 2009 - Anticipation for STANK: Block Boi has been building since the winter, when P-Duble dropped a pair of singles, "i Ball," and “Goin' Crazy (i wanna' die),” both on physical cd and on the internet. 50,000 copies of the release "i Ball" from P-Duble and Ty Wills were given away all across the Midwest, South and East-Coast for free and helped bring that anticipation to a head. The track not only created a buzz, but also a bit of controversy, as it's edgier approach caught many off-guard. "i Ball" will be included as an album track on STANK: Block Boi.
With the announcement of the release date for STANK: Block Boi also comes confirmation of something that had been rumored in recent months: P-Duble will still be behind he microphone and is not stepping away from the game, yet. "A lot of people were expecting the next/final project to drop last year," said P-Duble. "I was one of them. Then I was tested by a set of life-altering trials and all of that became an after-thought.
Six months later I went back in the studio for a few days, and that turned into six months. I was on such a roll; I wound up with a ton of new music and was given a new, refreshed spirit and direction. Putting out STANK: Block Boi will let everyone get all of the best stuff and will afford the opportunity to take the message bestowed upon me to the streets."
P-Duble has moved more than 1,000,000 different units, whether mixtapes, singles, EPs or LPs since he first entered the arena in 1992. His previous studio album, My Album About Me, a six-track EP dropped in 2007, reached #1 and dominated many of the charts late that year. There was a mixtape before that and a short-lived one after that, but nothing else of any substance since his 1999 release Birth Uv A G. Even though he has been mostly quiet for the last decade, he was very active between 1992 and 1999, with more than ten different projects reaching all over the United States and around the globe.
