About Rhythm Ruckus

VERMONT HOMEGROWN IS BACK Rhythm Ruckus has been called "the closest thing to Slayer that Vermont hip-hop will ever see." From an inauspicious complex nestled in the abdomen of Vermont's lush green mountains, Doc C and Scribe1 dispense serrated infotainment from the barren, shrieking maw of Generation Dead. MSNBC's "Current Magazine" says "their gritty, experimental music represents a re-emergence of raw, socially conscious hip-hop." Rhythm Ruckus' live shows are legendary, from their first proper gig (opening for Ol' Dirty Bastard) to their most recent sold-out local appearance. Their new LP, due in 2009, is a sprawling meditation on rural existence, confusion, rebellion, depravity, joy, and ruin. It includes guest appearances from Kool G Rap, Vast Aire of Cannibal Ox, Sticman of Dead Prez, and Cottonmouth TX. The album's surreal and striking cover was created by Marvel Comics storyboard artist and underground hip-hop mainstay Breez Evahflowin'.
