8CentGrape$ ft Raisin Heck

Liner Notes

This is another #slackcollab This started because I'm now a hardened criminal. I bought some grapes today and the scale totally got the weight wrong and only charged me 8cents for like 4lbs. @metalfoot declared that I am now known as "8CentGrape$". In typical #slackchat fashion we all just started writing silly rhymes and now we've got a full blown hiphop track.

@metalfoot on backing vox @carleybaer on uke solo and backing vox/singing @catmisgivings additional lyrics

This thing goes way harder then it should.

This one takes me on a journey to whole foods. Another slack gem. I'm not generally into rap, but I really like this.

This is so fire. I don't think I ever thought I'd hear someone spit lines about 'charcuterie' and the like. What a blast this was. The uke solo was amazing as well.

For some reason the vocal fry line was what really got me. Hilarious stuff, full of silly joy.

Seems like you have a lot of fun on Slack. I never been there bug the mere fact that you adapted a gangsta name and teamed up with a band for full awesomeness. I want a vídeo of that!

I know very little about tha hip hop other than they play lots of it at our gym. This track sounds just like one of them and I now have the urge to repeatedly pick up very heavy things and put them down again. Pavlov's hip hop...? 🤔 🤣

Well, this is a fever dream I can get behind. We all need this a lot more. More please!

Well, this is a lot of fun, from the lyrics to the vocals to the mixing (blending?). Carley's backing really does add a layer.

Good message, too. So much rap nowadays is just an excuse to let out a little wine. I say this as someone without skin in the game. Thanks a bunch for this.

I can foresee further adventures in the supermarket for our spirited protagonist- no doubt some turf war between the blood oranges and the Cripps apples.
