Three years in the making, Built from Scratch (Loud), the long-delayed and eagerly awaited second album by NYC's premier turntablist outfit, the X-ecutioners, finally has a release date. With guest spots from a diverse cast of characters, including Dan the Automator, neo-metalurgists Linkin Park, the Tom Tom Club, Everlast, Inspectah Deck, Kool G Rap, and the late Big Pun, the disc is set for release on January 29. In the meantime, the group are on a brief promo tour that makes its only area stop at the Asylum (413-739-7900) in Springfield on Saturday. And if you missed the phenomenal indie hip-hop pioneers Dilated Peoples at the House of Blues in Cambridge on Wednesday November 21, there's still time to catch them at the Met Café (401-861-2142) in Providence on Friday and at Toad's Place (203-624-8623) in New Haven on Tuesday.
