Godforbid & Thirtyseven - "Fear of Death and the Need for Reproduction"



Back when Wombaticus Rex was still a new thing, the NEK was bumping Alaskan Fishermen pretty heavy. It's not exactly a famous name but it does fit every requirement for a "cult classic," a Lo-Life concept album on Skillionaire Enterprises back when Thirstin Howl the 3rd was getting introduced to a whole new global audience by his Lyricist Lounge appearances. What all that boils down to is a bunch of people doing illegal things on back roads and learning every word off Fire & Ice, the first Alaskan Fishermen album. Back then, Godforbid was one of my favorite rappers.

Ten years later and we're releasing an album. An inspirational story, heart-warming & saccharine sweet stuff, I know. This was recorded at Vault 46 in Boston, who are sadly shutting down later this year, and mixed / mastered by the General Walter Westinghouse at NEKtones Studio in beautiful Burlington, VT. The results are rather massive.



Update: The EU/UK hip hop site The Word is Bond have concluded this was "a gorgeous slice of Americana tinged hip hop." BAM.

Wombaticus Rex - "Live from Vermontistan"





This was recorded on Burke Mountain, October 26th 2013. Thank you to The NEKtones for having us play, thank you to Walter Westinghouse for flawless engineering, thank you to Louis Mackey for hauling up to the Northeast Kingdom to back me up and rap some raps.

This show is a collage drawing on Wombaticus vintage material, Algorhythms psychedelic jams, Hump Jones party sex, and abundantly pilfers from No Humans Allowed, my project with Louis Mackey. There is a ton of unreleased material here; it will all be out eventually.

Thank you to Vermont for always supporting a weirdo.
