I died last year. For 53 seconds. One short month after the quiet release of Deadworld. Foreshadowing’s a bitch. What I could not see at the time was being reborn into the world of the living through someone else’s full-circle leaving.

Holed up in the hospital for a few weeks, I was an inadvertent resident of an impromptu hip-hop retirement home. Battling leukemia on the floor above me was my longtime friend Marcus “Skandal da Ruckus Man” Mitchell. An epic MC and producer, of equally epic bodily proportions, Skandal’s heart was big, but his production skills and lyrical largesse were even bigger. I dragged my sometimes half-incoherent ass, IV and all, down the hallways and into the elevator to visit my homie. The nurses always thought I was lost. Fuck that.

I was FOUND…in the strong lifeline we’ve all come to know and love as Skandal. He was my pusher man…keep on pushin’, Dibbs, until you get to the other side of you.

Skandal lost his life in October this year. I have memories for days of him, but there will be no more new ones. I don’t get to have that again. I don’t get to have those phone conversations with him or watch stupid-ass movies or videos on YouTube and laugh about it. You don’t miss that shit, until that shit’s not there. I got lucky. I would trade my life for his any day. I wish I could be like that dude. He made me feel important enough for me to be reborn. I am doing it. I am doing it now.

And so I’m giving you Deadworld Reborn…because this man gave me back my fucking life.

And with that, I want to give his family back their lives…and a return to normalcy. All proceeds from this album are going directly to Skandal’s family and young daughter Chloe. Pay what you can…Skandal sure did.

This album is name your own price. Whether that be Nothing or a million dollars. Please pay what you can, all proceeds are going directly to Marcus “Skandal Da Ruckus Man” Mitchell’s family and 2 year old daughter, “Do it! Do it NOW!” – Skandal R.I.P,

Easily one of the greatest promo discs we ever released, this CD collects many of Mr. Dibbs legendary prank phone calls. Very much inspired by The Jerky Boys, Dibbs and company go in on several unsuspecting marks with 16 tracks of brutal hilarity. This promo was used for his 2003 Rhymesayers release, The 30th Song.

UPDATE: We have picked a winner. Candidates were selected at random, then each transported to a magical island, where each was assigned a number, and then put through a series of life threatening tests, time travel, alternate realities, and the limited use of swear words, including only “damn”, “son of a bitch”, and “sodding”. Kusi Peralta is the winner. Congratulations. More contests to help clean out the HipHopSite warehouse are coming soon, stay tuned….
