Meet Bukkweat Bill, pretty much our new favorite rapper. Hailing from Florida, Bukkweat's a Grade-A skeezy skate rat with a mean Satanic streak who can still kick it with the dope boys, first making waves with his flat-out incredible "666FOREVER" video and then cementing our love of him by hanging out the window of a Cadillace in his "#D4MN" video. We're proud to premiere his new EP 8886, full of aggy, minimalist, and weirdly beautiful (mostly) self-produced beats, as well as heat-addled raps that indicate that Buckweat Bill has a pocket full of fucks and won't be giving out a single one any time soon. Stream the tape below, and read our e-mail interview with Bukkweat (we left his spelling/grammar/ALL CAPS TYPING STYLE as we received it) below.
