CURSES! You've found the secret lair of OLD SCRATCH, where we're stockpiling our implements of audio warfare until we decide that the time is right to make our move towards WORLD DOMINATION... or WORLD DESTRUCTION.
Hyper-staccato battle rhymes over driving deconstructed psycho-delic beats in a knock-down, drag-out, Double-Hell Electrified Barbed Wire Deathmatch fusing 1988 with 2050. Darker than the center of your eye, and so far underground it sits in the Ninth Circle of Hell.
We've been featured recently on the the RHYME TORRENTS online compilation, featuring tons of great "nerdcore" arteests like MC Hawking, Meter Versus Yard, Scream Club and about two dozen other acts...and a new song from Dr. Octagon!
Go to NERDCOREHIPHOP or RHYMETORRENTS for more info... ...though really, we're more "geek" and "snob" than "nerd."
Want downloads of the tracks on this page, and more? Got a comment, question, complaint...or do you just wanna talk dirty? Toss us a PM here or email us at
Hey Old Scratch! Just curious when some new stuff is coming on your profile. :) You know your style is tight so I'm looking forward to hearing some more.
You will be pleased to learn that a certain someone has returned to dancing this week, and that means Old Scratch is being played in a strip club every night, six times a night.
