About Me

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, Dr. Caucasian 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'. " border=0
