NEW SONG & VIDEO: “Xan4merz: Tha Xanimated Series”

The Budget-Ass video series returns with “Xan4merz: Tha Xanimated Series” by Rootbeer & The Rawhide Kid. Or should we say Bae da Male & NyKwill MadeIt?

You can also stream just the audio here:
Spotify
Soundcloud

Xan4merz is part of the forthcoming album, Whiteout! 2 which will be available to stream October 4, 2019.

New Single: “Get a Move On”

If you’ve been listening to the Rootbeer & Rawhide Rate Rappers podcast (and if you haven’t, you should), it was announced in Episode 9 that a promotional single from the upcoming Rootbeer & The Rawhide Kid collaboration album would be released May 3, 2019 to commemorate the 8th anniversary of their first collaboration album.

Hey, that’s today!

So…coming live to you and yours:

This song was produced by Anno Domini for AnnoDominiNation. It was mixed by Nick “Scoops” Dardaris. Former fans of nu-metal (Rootbeer and Rawhide are the only current fans of nu-metal) will quickly recognize that the song is a take on Limp Bizkit’s “Getcha Groove On.” That hilarious artwork was put together by none other than the talented Andrea Malatesta. How can you not want to listen to something accompanied by a starfish squirting mustard into a hot dog’s mouth? If you’re humorless sack of shit, that’s how. So take your head out of your chocolate starfish and give it a listen.

If you’d like to be among the first to hear new songs as they’re released, there’s a new Soundcloud you can follow as well as a new Spotify artist page which hasn’t been approved yet because Rootbeer did everything at the last minute like always. But that link will get posted below as soon as it exists.

New EP: Uprooted (and also follow Rootbeer on Spotify)

Happy fuckin’ Friday! Everyone’s guerrilla-releasing music these days and I’m in a constant struggle to fit in so today I’ll be doing that too. Actually I was going to put this out last week but then A$AP Rocky and Pusha T both announced projects and there was no way I’d convince any of you to listen to this with those other albums in front of you. My project is called Uprooted and I promise it’ll be the best 18 minutes you’ve ever cringed during.

This is normally where I’d give some background but the project is a bit unorthodox. Why don’t you listen to it first, form your own interpretation and assess the costs of the resulting ear surgery? Then come back in a couple days and I’ll have a new post apologizing and explaining what I was thinking.

Or, if you don’t want to waste the hard drive space on me, stream on one of the following platforms:

Bandcamp
YouTube
Spotify

Oh yeah, I’m on Spotify now. Fear of Success is also up there for your listening pleasure but not Rootbeer Ruins Everything because of samples and whatnot. Follow me on there even if you don’t want to because, honestly, when’s the last time you did something for someone other than yourself?

Debut album from Und3rstanding

Friend and Fear of Success collaborator, Knowle’ge has linked up with fellow 518 emcees SES the Great and Sev Static to form the supergroup Und3rstanding.
