While you were scheming on that one chick at the party last night, I was up drawing a mixtape cover for Playdough and... nah, I can't give that away yet. Forget I mentioned it... just listen to
Wanderer, the hidden track off his solo debut
Lonely Superstar
...
Yeah, you're welcome. Here's
Palm Sunday
, another banger off that record, because nothing says "I love you" like dope raps.
So anyways, I think it's fair to call myself a big fan of Playdough's since I have bought most of his records (you know... with money and stuff?), even buying mixtapes (yeah, they used to make mixtapes that were actually worth paying for) he appeared on, just to get his latest track. In the late nineties,
Playdough was a big part of the reason I stopped buying mainstream records and started swimming almost exclusively in the indie pool. I eventually lost interest in BET and MTV too, since they didn't play any videos from the artists I cut for.
Speaking of videos, here's a nice little Bootleg-style video for
The Business
, off of his latest album
Hotdoggin'... I did
the teeshirt design for the album's limited edition release goodie bag [shout out to that dude
Thomas Hall (Robot 13, Indy Comicbook FAIL, King!) who quarterbacked that for me!], which is probably how I got the job doing the art for this mixtape Playdough is doing with... HA! You almost got me! I better bounce before I spill the beans...

Yeah, big Playdough fan too man! I've paid for the mixtapes, which are better than most albums.
Can't wait to see what you're cooking up!
