Rapper Lil Bushwick just dropped the music video for his new single, "We Gone," featuring Slipknot turntablist Sid Wilson. The video finds the duo dressed as Rick and Morty from the hugely popular, Emmy-winning cartoon Rick & Morty. Lil Bushwick—son of the late Geto Boys rapper Bushwick Bill—describes the video:
"'We Gone' is where my love for fashion and animation collide. It's a creative trip that captures me and Sid's energy, letting our imagination run wild."
"We Gone" is the second single from Lil Bushwick's debut album, Lil Bushwick. The album, produced by Wilson—aka #0 aka SID aka DJ Starscream aka Ratboy—is the first release from Vomit Face Records. Wilson co-founded the label with Brooklyn rapper/producer J57.
Lil Bushwick untangles the track's paradoxical meaning thusly:
"This is the futures past clique, we're living in the futures past. So when we arrive, we're already gone."
Vomit Face Records is also set to release work from J57, Dead x Heds, Rome Fortune, Ricardo Grimm and Mars Black. Wilson expounds on the label's mission:
"Vomit Face Records is about tearing down the walls. This is for the artists who don’t fit in and never wanted to. It’s rebels in motion that unapologetically stand out. It’s to celebrate imperfection, people making real art out of the mess in a world that rewards fake.
It's where the sound, hard work and spirit collide and no one can tell you how to look or feel. Real art isn’t pretty, it should stir something slightly uncomfortable and break down those walls to create something new inside of you. It’s a place for the misfits to have a voice and a place to make their own."
"We Gone" is the follow-up to "Take It Back" which features a verse from the late Bushwick Bill. Wilson explains the collaboration's significance:
"Bushwick Bill and I had made a promise to each other to make an album. After several roadblocks in scheduling, Bill sadly, and unfortunately, passed away due to illness most were unaware of. In meeting his son and discovering that he too was a music artist, I made a promise to the spirit of the great Bushwick, that I would fulfill our pact by producing an album for his son. We did just that, and through the help of a dear friend DJ Lethal, we were able to add an unreleased track of Bill‘s, and I’m proud to say, we made the impossible possible for this iconic hip-hop lineage of father and son."
