This is the 4th EP from Columbus, Ohio horrorcore duo Klokwerk E. Consisting of Billy D & Kyle Kombs, they introduced themselves a couple years ago off their debut EP Will Boof 4 Rent & later the full-length debut The Emerald Tablets. These guys would also form the supergroup Mighty Morphin’ Wackness with the Super Famous Fun Time Guys over 14 months ago, dropping Santa Claus Fukked My Dog as well as an acclaimed sophomore effort Anubis & their previous EP Bukkake Mukbang Extravaganza this summer. In preparation for Hallowicked weekend however, Rent a Friend has been slowly revealing itself to be their most interesting extended play yet.
It’s only appropriate for the title track produced by Kyle Kombs to set the tone of things talking about making new best friends & looks to “Have Some Fun” after a long day over a trap instrumental. “Bad Influence” humorously asks if you’d ride & die for them but after the “What’s Your Name?” skit, the synth-funk inspired “Johnny Bravo” references the classic Discovery Global-owned Cartoon Network series of the same name.
After the “Do You Remember?” skit, the penultimate song “Homeboys” officially winds down on Rent a Friend with a chill ballad dedicated to chillin’ with some good friends & “Together” sends off the EP with one of the greatest Klokwerk E songs ever heartwarmingly telling everyone listening that they won’t ever be alone hoping some of us live life more, find love & that it gets people through whatever hardships they’re facing.
The 3rd project from Klokwerk E in 2025 feels like a forgotten VHS tape from another era offering a 1-on-1 friendship experience that you’ll never forget, rivaling Anubis for some of the Silver Boof Brothers’ greatest material & exemplifying their popularity in the underground. Kyle Kombs’ production has been continuously getting better as he & Billy conceptually engage in a late-night conversation full of joy, melancholy & grief.
Klokwerk E are a horrorcore duo from Columbus, Ohio consisting of Billy D & Kyle Kombs. Introducing themselves a couple years ago off their debut EP Will Boof 4 Rent & later the full-length debut The Emerald Tablets, these guys would form the Mighty Morphin’ Wackness supergroup with the Super Famous Fun Time Guys last summer & put out the Santa Claus Fukked My Dog EP in the midst of last Black Friday weekend. Few months later, their sophomore effort is finally in front of us.
The title tracks properly introduces juggalos to the dog of death over this dark trap instrumental whereas the grungy boom bap crossover “Walk with the Dead” talks about putting people to sleep in their new beds that happen to be coffins. “Put a Spell on You” homages the late Screamin’ Jay Hawkins to discuss every single one of us being in Hell when you think of it while “Suicidal Fun” talks about the concept of depression.
“Intergalactic Radio 2” is basically them jackin’ for beats similarly to what they did on it’s predecessor while the groovily slow “You Got a Nice Ass” talks about the love they have for cake. “Catfish” featuring S.O.N. shows the trio’s storytelling abilities discussing the possible outcomes of online dating leading into “Temu Sex Toy” displays a comedically vulgar side to Billy & Kyle.
Brandon Buckingham joins Klokwerk E for the trap-driven “Dirty Dirt Bag” to talk about all 3 of them being scrubs are just before “10 Plagues” brings an occult atmosphere to the beat so they kick the wicked shit. After the “Chewing” interlude, “Night of the Living Meth Heads” gives their flowers to the seminal political hip hop outfit Public Enemy while “Everything’s Dead” talks about waking up surrounded by death itself.
“Help Me Hide the Body” conceptually feels reminiscent to the iconic Necro track “Dead Body Disposal” except they borrow it & put their own unique take on it while the final song “Take What’s Mine” ahead of the “Dog” outro finishes up Anubis with what easily sticks out as the most controversial track on the entire thing with it’s lyrical content of runnin’ with an axe in their hands on the east side & keepin’ at least 5 bitches in the back of my van only for them to meet a brutally unspeakable demise.
Significantly darker than The Emerald Tablets was, Anubis embarks on a descent into ancient Egypt’s darkest corners fusing a batch of sinister beats along with a twisted blend of horror & humor to guide you through tombs where the dead don’t rest & the dog of death itself eagerly waiting to judge your soul. It’s kinda like the scene in Scream where 1 guy gets hit with the TV in the sense of it being the musical equivalent to certain parts in horror films that makes you laugh.
Mighty Morphin’ Wackness is an Ohio underground supergroup consisting of Billy D & Kyle Kombs a.k.a. Klokwerk E as well as Mr. 8 Legz & Whipstick or better known as the Super Famous Fun Time Guys. One of whom formed last year & the other became the first act that the almighty Alla Xul Elu signed to their independent Long Live Evil label. The quartet initially teamed up on “We’re Waaaack” off I’ll Tell You When I Want to Laugh By Laughing several months ago. Coinciding their first tour together, they’re cooking up a brand new EP of material as an official unit.
After the intro, the first song “Pull Over” shows off a back-&-forth delivery between all 4 members comedically hoping they hit a rest stop sooner instead of later whereas “Let Me Go” talks about turning everything into a horror flick & only amplifying it. After the “Waaaackest Commercial Ever” skit, the song “Super Spooky” by Kyle Kombs & the Super Famous Fun Time Guys builds itself around the supernatural & “Pussy Farts” ends with a humorous cut about queefs.
Whenever both halves of Mighty Morphin’ Wackness feel the time is right for them to put out a full-length debut studio album together, this quick Tour EP still remains to be an exciting listen for anyone who loves the self-deprecating horrorcore style the Super Famous Fun Time Guys are known for & the distinct originality of the 5th dimensional silver boof brothers Klokwerk E by emphasizing the humorous approach each of them have had to offer in the underground wicked shit scene all decade.
Ohio self-deprecating horrorcore duo Mr. 8 Legz & Whipstick professionally known as the Super Famous Fun Time Guys have returned with their 4th full-length LP & their 2nd under Long Live Evil. Emerging in 2018 off their debut album Our Album, they would follow it up with the Super Dudes Crooning the Tunes EP that same fall freestyling over songs like Yasiin Bey’s “Mathemathics” or even Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September”. Following their sophomore effort How Do You Fit a Cassette in a Discography? & their solo debut EPs, they became the very 1st act to sign to LLE & their 3rd album Don’t Hug Me from the Front quickly won a lot of people (including myself) over with how well it mixed horrorcore with comedy. They continued to further establish themselves in the underground by putting out a Christmas EP Holiday EP: Advent & the critically acclaimed Lost Lake Estates collaborative effort with their mentors Alla Xul Elu, they’re beginning the 2nd half of January 2024 by simply saying I’ll Tell You When I Want to Laugh By Laughing.
After the “I’m Intro Bro” intro, the first song “Laugh Now Maybe” is a spacious boom bap opener essentially serving as the title track to the album whereas “More Things Same” works in some woodwinds reminding that they’re here to piss you off 1 pussy at a time referencing former 2-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Damage CTRL. “We”R”Us” sets out to ruin your day because it’s simply what they are asking if you’ve ever noticed that record-setting 3-time ROH World Champion, ROH World Tag Team Champion, ROH World Television Champion, the longest reigning NXT Champion, the inaugural NXT North American Champion, NXT Tag Team Champion, PWG World Champion & CZW World Jr. Heavyweight Champion Adam Cole and former AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker look alike over an plucky, eerie loop attached to these kicks & snares just before “FanDUHlism” gives off an EDM vibe instrumentally responding to those telling them to grow up & leaving blood behind as if they’re 8-time WWE tag team champions The Usos.
“Thirst Trap” gives off a bit of a synth-funk flare to the beat Uno card reversing bitches wanting to break their hearts leading into “Cumulonimbus Cerebrum” talking about how no one’s safe when they open the clouds they keep their heads with a reference to current Monday Night Raw superstar, former 6-time WWE world champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, WWE tag team champion, inaugural ROH Hall of Famer inductee, 2-time AEW World Champion, ROH World Champion and 2-time ROH World Tag Team Champion CM Punk who later albeit unsuccessfully competed in the UFC division of the Endeavor-owned TKO Group Holdings over a west coast instrumental. “We’re Waaaack” by Mighty Morphin’ Wackness shifts into dustier territory giving us a look at 4 guys who don’t know how to act right, but then “Hatemail” featuring McNastee assures the listener that everything will be ok over some piano chords.
The 2nd & final single “Charity Case” admits to getting drunk & fall asleep so they can leave the hate they’re bottling behind over some guitars while the lead single “Quirky Pop Punk Song (Existential Dread)” featuring Stray has some incredibly tight production from Billy Martin in the titular vein feeling like time is starting to wear thin. “My Friends Can Beat Up Your Friends” featuring Alla Xul Elu as well as Long Live Evil’s newest recording artist S.O.N. brings the sextet together for a boom bap-infused LLE posse cut referencing lucha libre popularized by the Lutteroth family-owned Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL)& it’s rival promotion in the Peña–Roldán family-owned Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) while “1 Botched Brooks Finisher” dabbles with trap delving into their villain arcs.
After the “I’m Outro Tho” skit, “Sote2nelF” serves as the first of 2 bonus tracks to end I’ll Tell You When I Want to Laugh by Laughing by making peace with the dark over a drearier beat & the other bonus cut “Idk Might Cry Later” ties up the greatest tag team to never set foot in the ring’s sophomore effort with Long Live Evil talking about falling into darker places masking their pain on top of some solemn acoustics.
Since first being announced at the 2nd annual Camp Xul, I was hoping that Billy Obey was gonna fully produce it because I feel like hearing Legz & Whip over his production start to finish would make for something really special one day. However, they haven’t let me down in the 3 years that I’ve been a fan of theirs & we still got a solid LP regardless. The overall sound is a melting pot of different & interesting ideas as the chemistry amongst both MCs remains humorously animated.
The Super Famous Fun Time Guys are a self-deprecating horrorcore duo from Ohio consisting of Mr. 8 Legz & Whipstick. They originally broke out in 2018 off their full-length debut Our Album & then the Super Dudes Crooning the Tunes EP that same fall, where they freestyled over songs like Yasiin Bey’s “Mathemathics” or even Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September”. Following their sophomore effort How Do You Fit a Cassette in a Discography? & their solo debut EPs, they became the very 1st act to sign to the almighty Alla Xul Elu’s independently owned Long Live Evil label & their 3rd album Don’t Hug Me from the Front quickly won a lot of people (including myself) over with how well it mixed horrorcore with comedy. But ahead of their official LLE sophomore effort next year, Whip & Legz are celebrating Christmas with their 3rd EP.
After the “Reindeer Rental” intro, the first song “Mandatory Holiday Function” is a cheery way to kick things off by talking about how tis the season to have a Fun Time party while the song “Cute & Cuddly” takes the boom bap route calling themselves gremlins that came from a path full of snakes similar to that of current AEW manager, WWE Hall of Famer & former SMW Heavyweight Champion Jake “The Snake” Roberts. The penultimate track “Frosty Tips” laces some bells with piano chords & a thunderous bass-line to get on their hardcore shit prior to Doc Gruesome, Donnie Menace & Stray all assisting the greatest tag team to never even step into a ring for the 9-minute trap closer “Humbugs in Your Bed” talking about St. Nick pulling up to your city.
Now if any of y’all are looking to have a fun time this Christmas, then you’re gonna wanna add Holiday EP: Advent onto your rotation this weekend because it’s without a bit of doubt the best Christmas-themed project that I’ve heard in a while. The humorous yet nihilistic lyricism & exciting chemistry we’ve all come to know & love them for both make their way onto here except the production has a more seasonal twist to it. I know they said at the 2nd annual Camp Xul this past summer to expect their next full-length in 2023 & I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that Billy Obey is producing it in it’s entirety but regardless of the latter, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there & maintain all anticipation for it.
This is the 2nd EP from Ohio duo the Super Famous Fun Time Guys. Consisting of Mr. 8 Legz & Whipstick, they originally broke out in 2018 off their full-length debut Our Album & then the Super Dudes Crooning the Tunes EP where they freestyled over songs like Yasiin Bey’s Mathemathics” or even Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September”. Following their sophomore effort How Do You Fit a Cassette in a Discography? & their solo debut EPs, they became the very 1st act to sign to the almighty Alla Xul Elu’s independently owned Long Live Evil label & their 3rd album Don’t Hug Me from the Front quickly won a lot of people (including myself) over with how well it mixed horrorcore with comedy. But they’re coming fresh off a small handful of singles to celebrate Black Friday with Mom’s Not Offended, She’s Concerned.
After the “Not Another Intro” intro, the first song “Stuck” featuring Dent 1 is a boom bap/g-funk fusion paying tribute to their fans whereas “Crash & Burn” works in a piano talking about going down in flames with smiles on their faces referencing former 5-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion, ECW World Tag Team Champion, XPW King of the Deatmatch Champion & アイアンマンヘビーメタル級王座 The Sandman alongside WWE Hall of Famer, former 2-time WWE world champion, ECW World Television Champion, 6-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 5-time WWE Tag Team Champion, 4-time & the final WWE Hardcore Champion, TNA World Champion & TNA X Division Champion Rob Van Dam. “Finder’s Keepers” takes a more mellow route telling the story of discovering a body on the side of the road, but then “Play Your Role” has some trap undertones getting on their wicked shit.
The song “Another Round” featuring Billy Obey returns into boom bap territory talking about going through the motions again & not knowing how to snap out of it while the penultimate track “Wittalittlebitta” is a bit oxymoronic with it’s summery production & speaking about painting the town red with dark clouds hanging above them. “Like Damn” then finishes the EP by melodically talking about locking their victims in the basement.
“Heart Shaped Bed” featuring Alla Xul Elu produced by Billy Obey putting a horrorcore spin on Valentine’s Day while “Strangers on the Track” featuring Madd Maxxx finds the trio talking about having hatred in their lungs. “Got Worms?” featuring M.M.M.F.D. displays the back-&-forth chemistries of both duos addressing those who thought they were safe while “As I Say” showcases their storytelling abilities portraying themselves as night stalkers.
Young Wicked joins Legz & Whipstick on “Now That’s What I Call Murder” including a reference to 2-time WWE Hall of Famer, 6-time WWE world champion, 4-time WWE United States Champion, 14-time WWE tag team champion, 2-time WWE Hardcore Champion, RoW Tag Team Champion & TNA World Tag Team Champion Booker T while “Your Wife’s a Hoe” featuring Donnie Menace sets out to fuck up your day. The final bonus track “Lord of the Flies” featuring Lee Carver rounds it out throwing their horns up high ushering a new wave.
Not only does this EP remind me that these guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite duos in the underground right now, but it also goes to show that Long Live Evil is continuing to rebuild itself as what Psychopathic Records once was in their prime almost 2 decades ago. Legz & Whip continue to make themselves stick out with their own with the production choices continuing to level up.
The Super Famous Fun Time Guys are an Ohio-based horrorcore duo consisting of Mr. 8 Legz & Whipstick. They’ve released 2 full-lengths & an EP on their own since their formation in 2017 but after becoming the first act to sign to Alla Xul Elu’s independent label Long Live Evil a little over a month ago, 8 Legz & Whipstick are celebrating by dropping their 3rd full-length album.
After the “Tokyo Smoothies with Bob” intro, the title track that truly kicks the album off taps in with Dubbs to spit some humorous insults over an uptempo instrumental while the track “Up for Grabs” with Breadwin DeVille & Hard Target finds the quartet talking about sex over a somewhat tropical beat. The song “Could’ve Played Fallout” tells the story of Whipstick bringing 8 Legz out to a party over a trap instrumental with some plinky keys while the track “Luchaflorida” talks about where the duo came from referencing The Undertaker’s final match against AJ Styles at WWE’s first 2-night WrestleMania last year over a dusty boom bap beat.
The song “Squad Up” with Blaze Ya Dead Homie sees the trio talking about this being the new sound over an instrumental with this hypnotic loop hanging in the background while the track “Alright” talking about wack rappers over a trap beat with some twinkling chimes. The song “Muerte Mierda” reunites with Dubbs to talk about murder over a deranged instrumental while the track “Hide & Seek After Sunset” with Alla Xul Elu finds the 5 enhancing the horrorcore vibes of the previous joint from the lyrics to the production.
The song “In the Alleyway” talks about slaying any rapper who opposes them over a Billy Obey instrumental that throws it back to the 90’s while the track “Brainless” talks about being immortalized after death over a grungy boom bap beat. The song “Talk2me” ponders how one can heal if they can never escape over a paranormal instrumental & after the “We’re Being Creepy” skit, the closer “I Like My Friends” talks about running the rap game their way over a playful beat from Bad Mind for the first 3 minutes before leading into a 14 minute skit.
Alla Xul Elu & I’ve been curious to hear what would happen if they brought new talent on board the Long Live Evil label. Needless to say, I’m very impressed with what the Super Famous Fun Time Guys delivered on here. Their sound on here is totally refined in comparison to their previous output & their pen-game has also improved.
