Okay, the Depressive Tongue Posse album just dropped...
It's called 'Fuck Tha Continent, and it's HERE on the bandcamp page. It's also free, and 23 tracks, how bout that shit??
A bizarre lo-fi journey through murked out rap vibes. Horrorcore and old school g-funk sit side-by-side with instrumentals and tape-fucked weirdness. COP the shit already.
Last month I posted the first video.

Womack The Omen - 'Book of the Dead'
Some of ya have probably been looking for this for a while. I know I was. Heard a couple tracks a while back and was pretty impressed by how straight up evil the vibe of this album is. Sure, the lo-fi quality kinda amps up the menace, but the dude is just raspy as fuck and sounds genuinely scary. He also apparently doesn't do drugs...? Kind of monumental for lowdown Memphis shit like this. He at least doesn't smoke weed, because he mentions it in like every track.
This was up on the wonderful Twankle and Glisten blog a while back, but has long since disappeared, and it doesn't appear to be on any blogs right now. Which means Ima put it up. Here ya go.

Shawty Pimp - 'Still Comin' Real'
Been on another Memphis rap kick recently...this one definitely took some digging. I heard a few tracks off some mix, and really wanted to hear the rest, but that proved a lot more difficult than I figured it would be. Finally got a hold of it off Soulseek (which I highly recommend for all your digital digging needs) and here it is for you.
If you're into the Memphis rap sound (eerie samples, sloooooowwww tempos, and murderous lyrics) you'll instantly notice how different this lil tape is. Shawty Pimp is definitely a producer's producer, whatever that means. He's got a much better ear for hooks than most Memphis producers, and this stuff is REALLY laid back. Like, so laid back it's kinda comical how many murder raps there are over these smooth-jazz beats. They still have the 'feel' of a Memphis tape, but the whole thing has a much more uplifting vibe I guess. I dunno, I like it a lot.
I'd be willing to bet that Lil Ugly Mane took some inspiration from this rarity. No tracklist on the rip I grabbed, but I found a makeshift one off another site.

The Chewers
Here's a reader submission for ya...don't usually get these, but I'm always open to them...hit me up at whimperwarrior@gmail.com
This duo, out of West Virginia, is called The Chewers, and from what I've heard reminds me of stuff like Caroliner, but more structured and easier on the ears (to an extent).
They've got a video out that's kinda like some Residents shit. Just as weird, too.
Here's a little bio they sent along:
The album they're currently pushing, 'Chuckle Change and Also' is their second, and can be found here.
They've also got a Soundcloud page with some more tunes.
Dig it, yall.

Here's a little bio they sent along:
"The Chewers are Travis Caffrey and Michael Sadler, two
freaks from the woods of West Virginia (by way of Nashville), USA.
We each play various instruments, in order to create layered arrangements
We each play various instruments, in order to create layered arrangements
in the vein of avant-roots-rock (or something like that).
The songs feature characters immersed in psychological hells, grappling
with deep disconnect from the society around them. These subjects are
generally presented with a deadpan and crooked sense of humor."

Obscuro! Mixtape #15...'Garbage can full of funk 2'
Yup...another one of these, since yall seemed to like the last one.
This time around, it's pretty exclusively creepy Memphis underground shit. Tried to pull out the scariest-sounding shit I got, so enjoy.

Botfly - S/T (rare Lansing funk/metal/weirdo shit)
Sometimes I buy cassettes from thrift stores. Often, as you can imagine, they are garbage. But, at like 50 cents, how are you going to pass it up? Mostly, I just collect weird ambient shit and easy listening jazz, because they're great to grab samples from, but today's find is a little different.
This is a group apparently out of Lansing, Michigan in the early 90's...all I can find on the internet is a description that says something like 'Primus meets Blues Traveler' which sounds pretty terrible. I'm guessing someone just wrote that because they have a ripping harmonica player. Whatever the case, this is a strange brew....they're definitely metal, but there's a LOT of funk and goofiness, that makes me think of the Deli Creeps. But then there's that harmonica....makes the whole thing seem like the 'Rosanne' theme song gone to a murky hell or something. I dunno. But, considering my recent post on funk metal, it's a pretty fitting thing to put up here. Plus, it's ripped directly from cassette by ME, so that's kinda cool, right?
Botfly - S/T (1995)
Tracklist:
1. Turns
2. Texas Toast
3. Wha-Hurd
4. Barney
5. Acquisition
6. Life
7. Program Callous Indifference
8. Trailer Park Shuffle
9. Feces Stew
10. Can Cega

Obscuro! Mixtape #14...'fucked.'
That title should clue you in....this is a trip to the weirdo side. Fans of the Trash Radio and Obscuro programs will definitely want to check this one out. Basically, I went digging in the Obscuro! archives and came up with the strangest shit I could find, that I hadn't yet played to death on the radio. Some of this stuff never even made it into radio programs because I just forgot about it or whatever...ran out of time...y'know. So, it was kind of surprising to find so much bizarre stuff.
You'll hear oddball religious nonsense, vanity recordings made by reality TV stars, private press stoner sludge, and lots of mind-fuck ambient stuff. Anyhow. See for yourself. It's pretty cool.
