The latest album from the Rap-Viper himself, Wordburglar aka Burg is now available for your listening pleasure! HissTank members loved Burg’s last effort, Welcome to Cobra Island and there’s no doubt that this latest release will be any different! Check out the official press release –
WORDBURGLAR: RAPPLICABLE SKILLS.
Your friend’s brother’s favourite Canadian underground nerdy rap luminary returns with a non-stop, lyrical boom-bap masterpiece. Applying his unique blend of humour-infused wordplay, intricate storytelling and classic hip-hop mentality over a canvas of crushing bangers, hypnotic head-nodders and razor-sharp turntablism, his nerdy honesty, cutting puns and “what did he just say?” rhyme style are fully on point and ready to get injected into your ear-brains. From party tracks and hilarious punchline putdowns to video game conquests, ghost stories, comic shops, NHL Hall of Famers and hometown pride, Wordburglar has covered it all in extensively entertaining, rhyme-packed detail. An instant rap party, RAPPLICABLE SKILLS contains 15 slammin’ tracks of ‘Burg’s patented lyricism over bumpin’ production from Beatmason, Fresh Kils, Milk Plus, Peter Project, Savilion and Timbuktu. Featuring the turntablism of DJ Irate, More Or Les & Uncle Fes and guest appearances from Chokeules, Ghettosocks, MC Frontalot, Mega Ran, Savilion, Sy-Fi, Timbuktu and Ultra Magnus.
DETAILS: AVAILABLE & SHIPPING as of AUGUST 28th. Full-length album featuring 15 new Wordburglar tracks. This limited edition, studio-mastered, sonically banging CD comes in an old-school, high quality, plastic jewel case, shrink wrapped and professionally manufactured – just like one of those CDs they used to sell at the stores your friend’s brother shoplifted at before the internet! Featuring fully realized, original artwork and design by James White of Signal Noise Studio and Dave Howlett. If you’d like your CD autographed just ask. Includes a digital download of the full 15 track album Rapplicable Skills.

Hey guys, some of you know that other than being a huge Joe fan, I make rap records.
My latest project is called “Welcome to Cobra Island” and combines my two loves in a way I hope you’ll enjoy as much as I enjoyed making it.
The first single is called “A Letter from Snake Eyes” (parts 1 & 2) and includes the track “Rap-Viper” which is about a rapper who grew up on Cobra Island (obviously ;) ).
Anyway, you can download the Triple-Single for free right now and I’ll be releasing the full length album in May. Yo Joe!

"I once got busy in the back of a Buzz Boar..."
HAHAHAHA!
You've got some pretty clever puns/rhymes in there, man.
Your flow has a bit of a Dr. Octagon/Kool Keith vibe.
I threw a few bucks your way. Good luck and keep us updated!

I clicked the link somewhat against my better judgement..
And damn, man, you've got the chops.
It works as a fun bit of Joe fandom, and it works as clever rap with engaging wordplay and a confident voice.
I love this!
