Over the past few months, a company named DaBlock365 has been working with several notable rap artists — including Fat Joe, Benny The Butcher, Jadakiss, and Dave East, among others — offering indie rappers “mixtape placements” for between $500 and $650 per slot. These notable rap artists will post to social media, asking their followers to tag artists who they should be on the look for.
DaBlock365 Accused Of Scamming
Big Trill aka Johnathan M Soroush and his company DaBlock365 are reportedly scamming millions of dollars from unsuspecting artists by impersonating celebrity rappers on Instagram and getting them to send money via cashapp, paypal, venmo, and zelle accounts they run with multiple aliases. They allegedly have access to 100 celebrity hip hop artists’ social media accounts such as Fat Joe, Jadakiss, The Game, Dave East, etc. and are working with 520 promotions impersonating major artists on social media.
520 promotions is run by 1 person named Lawrence Leal located in AZ. They are both fully responsible for this massive multi-million dollar fraud.
“The mixtapes are just all the songs of people who paid their $500, and there’s like 40+ songs on each mixtape, which all get less than 50 plays… If you go on DaBlock’s SoundCloud page, they have over 6,000 tracks in just the span of 3 months. If you do the math, they made over 3 million dollars from this already..”
