The Rawhide Kid just surprised everyone (including me) with a live album (well, “kinda” live). Among the nine songs are original renditions of his classics like “A Song About Nothing” and “1994” as well as acoustic covers of Cabin Fever tracks like “Teenage Daydreams” and “College Town.” Stream it below:

This week’s release from the In/Stability album will feature The Rawhide Kid. To set the right vibes, Rawhide put together some behind-the-scenes footage from the “Xan4merz” music video. Watch below, and listen to the new track “I Suck” when it drops Friday at midnight.
Ten years since the release of his album Disintegration, The Rawhide Kid has revisited the project with re-recordings, remasters and a whole bunch of DLC (Disintegration‘s Lost Content). Listen below!
Since this is the most embarrassing game of basketball I’ve ever seen, why not get in the Devil’s Night spirit by streaming the deluxe edition of The Rawhide Kid’s album The Ninth Circle which was just added to Spotify. Tomorrow, Rawhide will continue the horrorshow with the Disintegration Anniversary Edition which includes re-recorded, remixed and remastered songs alongside a cavalcade of creepy bonus cuts. It’s gonna be a long Halloween…

In Episode 10 – which is also the shortest episode because there was an immense amount of dumb-fuckery to edit out – the guys make their official predictions for the 2019 XXL Freshman cover. They are almost convincing as they attempt to prove they understand modern hip-hop. Some highlights include:
- Rawhide makes last-minute choices based solely on what the rappers look like
- Rawhide picks someone who was already a XXL Freshman (sort of)
- More of Rootbeer’s dog barking
Be sure to listen to the end as Rootbeer discusses a surprise guest who will be appearing on his upcoming solo album, In/Stability, as well as some other details about the album itself.
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.
After a weeks-long wait, Rootbeer & Rawhide Rate Rappers, Episode 3 is available to stream, download, turn off and delete.

Plus, Rawhide announces a new EP titled Beyond Belief which includes some songs cut from Reason to Believe as well as an alternate version of the album’s title track, a new song with Rootbeer & Inspectah Spark called “Axis of Axes” and more.
Some other highlights include
- Rootbeer reflects on how his time in therapy affected his creative approach
- The duo discusses two “funny” songs on their upcoming collaboration project which have “different energy” from one another
- They both drink 44oz sodas very loudly
- Rootbeer forgets his fourth pick
