Creative chameleon Sid Wilson of Slipknot has unveiled his newest artistic pursuit with the announcement of Vomit Face Records. The freshly forged project and record label was established with the intent to combine the creative force of driven outliers, creators that thrive outside the lines. Among the artists already recruited on the label include the likes of J57, DEAD X HEDZ, Rome Fortune, Ricardo Grimm, Mars Black, Sid Wilson himself and Lil Bushwick, son of the late, great pioneering H-Town hero, Bushwick Bill.
Issuing the introductory release on Vomit Face, Wilson has teamed with Lil' Bushwick for the genre-bending statement in "Take It Back." Propelled by a bombastic backbeat, a lumbering bassline and noisy guitars, the young Bushwick delivers stealth bars, aided by a posthumous performance from his legendary father, with an unreleased verse from the Geto Boys pillar.
“Bushwick Bill and I had made a promise to each other to make an album,” Wilson explained. “After several roadblocks in scheduling, Bill sadly, and unfortunately, passed away due to illness most were unaware of. In meeting his son and discovering that he too was a music artist, I made a promise to the spirit of the great Bushwick, that I would fulfill our pact by producing an album for his son. We did just that, and through the help of a dear friend DJ Lethal, we were able to add an unreleased track of Bill’s, and I’m proud to say, we made the impossible possible for this iconic hip-hop lineage of father and son.”
Lil Bushwick shared, “Being able to collaborate with my pops 6 years after his passing brings me a different type of joy. Hearing his voice again speaking life and expressing himself just as I remembered takes me back to the simpler times. I know he’d be proud of how I approached each verse my own way. He was always big on being yourself and I’ll forever be that. Long live Chuckwick 4L.“
The arrival of "Take It Back" and the formation of Vomit Face is further cemented with the full length, self-titled Lil Bushwick, landing October 31st. The release offers an appropriate nod to definitive Bushwick line, “This year Halloween fell on a weekend.” Narrated by Bushwick Bill, the album honors the Bushwick hip-hop lineage while embracing experimentation and celebrating counter culture.
“This project shows my diversity as an artist,” says Lil Bushwick. “It pushes the envelope musically and experiments with sounds I never thought I’d rap on. It takes you through every emotion and brings you into the mind & life of Bushwick.”
