about

Not everything can be winners...

This album compiles tracks that were either incomplete/scrapped works in progress, or covers that I did over the last five years. Some ended up getting beefed up, and released, some were done for FAWM, and others didn't see the light of day, until now. Mind you, these are only the tracks that were salvageable enough to release. Remixes were out of the question for legal reasons.

Aside from a handful of tracks, nothing in this comp has been mixed or mastered, so you have been warned.

SkyBlew The Cowardly Boy
by SkyBlew

It was hard to choose between this and "Painting 'Till She Dials," but Blew's lyrics hit home when I started embracing nerdcore. "The Cowardly Boy" solidified him as one of my favourite rappers. Vadell Gabriel

Insert Disk 02
by Game Genie Sokolov

I've been following Game Genie Sokolov for years, and even worked with her; but this album completely flipped the script on the style she used on her debut EP. Some really good chipwave in here. Vadell Gabriel

ReAL/iS-HiM
by Mathematik

Perhaps the most slept on MC from Toronto, Mathematik returned with a new album that is easily just as good as debut LP, "Ecology." Math balances the old and new school, while showing he still got it Vadell Gabriel
