Welcome to the new webpage! We hope you enjoy the simple yet informative
new design, created to keep up with the ever-evolving and exciting world of the
jOHNNY23 artists' collective. Just check out the updates to all
sections, including never-before seen videos and a re-launching of the store with lots of brand new items.
With the turbulent year of the RAT now behind us, we welcome 2009 with
an assorted batch of new albums!
First off, we want to announce the release of "MUTILATOR", a heavily anticipated debut from one of jOHNNY23's hungriest members, Boxguts.
We urge you to hear this tongue twisting visual battering ram style collection of disturbed raps and perfectly crafted soundscapes and discover one of the more unique rising stars of the crew! Hot!!!
Includes guest appearances from the elusive underground myth named Many Styles and heavy spitter Chief.
"i listen to "Mutilator" like Kurt Cobain chilled with W.H burroughs. Boxguts brings the reason why the virus crew is the parasite idle it is today in the dish of spit. it's highly vibrant and is a perverse monster when coming to audio-sight. i feel violated as a mistaken "prom date nice guy" to a virgin in highschool. it's refreshing, like good ol' blotter after a drought in the rain. also very familiar, as far as him jumping in my head and drawing the curtains back. "

- Volume 1 of our special podcast unearthed a lot of gems from the vault
DJ Jedi and Will Taubin have full access to the archives and should have an excellent Volume 2 shortly (both mixes are scheduled to be released as one CD mid-April!)
- From rocking out Switzerland to Spokane, Los Angeles to Brooklyn, taking part in major shows with other classic lyricists from Beatnuts to Boot Camp, Keith Murray to Tame-1, dropping a critically acclaimed double-CD collaboration with Omega One, recording on the road, and still, somehow finding time to do behind-the-scenes brainwork for an upcoming world-renowned documentary film, LoDeck had a very busy '08. He plans to continue in the same fashion with more tours, albums and surprises to keep the fans craving for more.
Check back for exclusive and first-hand information about this diverse and unpredictable artist.
- New albums from crew members Mike220 and C-Plex completed and ready for the next update!
- Of course, the most original sounding crew is also striving to make the label the most entertaining. From crazy t-shirt ideas to plans of a live radio show, we have a lot in store, so please let us know what you think in our message boards!
