KOOL KEITH/DEAD CROSS MASHUP + Rolling Stone

Kool Keith, Death Cross, 2019
“'I’m on all kinds of shit,' Keith repeats over pulsating blasts of noise. He proceeds to unleash a stream of his patented X-rated putdowns. Around a minute in, the band comes roaring in at full blast, with Lombardo’s rapid-fire double-kick drums and Patton’s maniacal shrieks adding live-wire intensity. Crain’s trilling guitar line contrasts perfectly with Keith’s laid-back delivery."
Rolling Stone

Listen to the “Uncrushable” mashup feat. Dead Cross, via Rolling Stone, here.

Donning many monikers over the years including Dr. Octagon, Dr. Dooom, and Black Elvis, legendary Bronx-based Jupiter-born rapper Kool Keith's oddness has aligned with continued collaborators Junkadelic Music as well as hip hop-punk amalgam Planet B, comprised of punk vocalist Justin Pearson and double MPC-wielding Luke Henshaw. This four track EP includes an unlikely but somehow perfect mashup of "Uncrushable" with hardcore supergroup Dead Cross (Mike Patton, Dave Lombardo, Justin Pearson, Mike Crain) track, "Church of the Motherfuckers," which was produced by Luke Henshaw, which premiered today via Rolling Stone.

Kool Keith’s newest “Blast” b/w “Uncrushable” EP will be released digitally as well as on shark-grey vinyl by Three One G Records on March 29th. Preorder here.

“Blast” b/w “Uncrushable” EP:
1. Blast
