NEW: Block Islander Brian Williams Rapping Goes Viral
The video of Williams -- in clip form -- spitting rhymes has gone viral this morning (check out the video BELOW). But what most still don't know is that Williams is a part-time Rhode Island resident, with a vacation home on Block Island.
Williams has been effusive with his praise for Block Island, which he called "heaven on earth" in a video tribute. He listed the Book Nook, Kittens, and Twin Maples as some of his favorite destinations. "You know a place is great when it has more dirt roads than paved roads," quips Williams.

Understandable that he would characterize the Island as "a gem just offshore."
