The Mixtape:

Coming straight out of Oxnard, California, emcee Riff Raff McGriff is following in some pretty big footsteps. Hometown hip-hop heroes like Madlib, Declaime, MED, Oh No and Wildchild have inspired the young artist (a.k.a. Dex McGriff) over the years, and after catching the attention of Declaime and Georgia Anne Muldrow, he was signed to their illustrious SomeOthaShip imprint. As a part of Epsilon Project, a seven-piece collective of "Ox City" natives, he is the first to pursue a solo career with an upcoming LP entitled Grin. But until then, Riff Raff McGriff is releasing his Because I'm Wack mixtape, now available for free download.

Upholding SomeOthaShip's overarching nonconformist and outside-the-box mentality, McGriff introduces the hip-hop community to a new 21st century sound on Because I'm Wack. In addition to profound singles like "Year of the OX" and "Life of the Dreamer," the 13-track project is sprinkled with funny sound bites and screwball skits that showcase McGriff's alter-ego Lil Cappa, a terminally wack rapper who loves bologna, makes terrible puns, and generally represents everything the Oxnard rapper is not. Helping McGriff bring the mixtape and Lil Cappa to life is fellow Epsilon Project member J-Pro, C-Plus and Confidential, along with twisted boom-bap production from Kankick.

The Video:

After flexing his comedy muscle on the Because I'm Wack mixtape, McGriff switched gears while filming his new video for the song, "Tell 'Em." The first video from the Grin LP is a sobering look at the recession, homelessness, and the process of restructuring life in a bleak economy. The video, which was directed by Unxpect of Epsilon Project and Michael Reed, can be viewed here: http://someothaship.com/2011/12/git-em-riff-raff-tell-em-official-video.
