It’s August 28th. I’m finally able to share my new album RAPPLICABLE SKILLS with everyone. I couldn’t be more excited for you to hear it. It contains 15 tracks of rhyme-based boombappy goodness and production from Beatmason, Fresh Kils, Ghettosocks, Milk Plus, Peter Project, Savilion and Timbuktu. With the deadly turntablism of DJ Irate, More Or Les & Uncle Fes and guest rap appearances from Chokeules, Ghettosocks, MC Frontalot, Mega Ran, Savilion, Sy-Fi, Timbuktu and Ultra Magnus. The artwork is by the incredible James White of Signal Noise and Dave Howlett.

A HUGE thank you to all my amazing collaborators – most of whom I’ve known or been working with for over 10 years (!!!!). Everyone on the team pulled out every stop to make this album as dope as possible and I’m forever in their debt. I think we’ve got a crazy little record on our hands and I think you’re gonna dig it. Go find it wherever you get your music fix, and if you like it please share. WORD THE FRIG UP! https://propsdept.bandcamp.com/

I am a huge fan of Jason Sandberg’s Jupiter comics and have been hoping he might collect them all one day. Mr. Sandberg if you’re reading this I’d love to know what this art is for? Do you have a new series in the works? Any plans to release Jupiter again or digitally?

RISKING THEIR LIVES - TO BRING YOU THE NEWS!

For a hundred years, the paper-route was a symbol of opportunity – a chance for hard-working neighbourhood kids to earn some cash. How else could they afford comic books, compact discs and video games? Once a noble career choice for dedicated kids, the paper-route as we know it is now all but extinct.  

But before the internet, iphones and texting, when newspapers were the number one source of information, the 1990s were the last decade of glory for paperboys and papergirls as we know it.

This is their story.

The story of THE LAST PAPER ROUTE.

So Jesse Dangerously came over and told me a whole bunch of secrets. And I recorded them. It's the weekend, and this is a good one. Check the new podcast here: http://www.modernsuperior.com/2015/01/29/episode-11-jesse-dangersously/

THE LAST PAPER-ROUTE.

Okay. So I’ve been holding onto this secret for awhile now, but due to certain other comic news today I had to share. For the past 8 months my I’ve been developing a new comic series with my incredibly talented pals Alex Kennedy and Dave Howlett. Some of you may remember years ago a little comic series (5 issues plus an annual!) we self-published called “Adventures In Paper-Routing” –  I’ve wanted to return to that idea forever, and thus “The Last Paper-Route” was born. More news soon.
