Chaz Kangas The Troma Project: 50 Years of Reel Fan-Toxic Hip-Hop (Toxic Green)
"Toxic Green" eco-mix vinyl. Troma's 50th Anniversary Just Got a Hip-Hop Makeover! We cooked up something special: a rap album built entirely from five decades of Troma movie sounds, scores, and samples. Lloyd Kaufman gave it his blessing-now we just need the right label to unleash it. Troma's been hip-hop adjacent since day one. First movie with rap? Theirs ('Stuck On You,' 1982). First to license "The Message"? Them again. First horror flick with an all hip-hop soundtrack? 'Def By Temptation' with Samuel L. Jackson. 'The Troma Project: Reel Toxic Hip-Hop at 50' continues that legacy with collabs from coast to coast-Troma vets like Debbie Rochon and John Brennan plus indie hip-hop heavyweights NUR-D, RhymeStyleTroop, Extra Kool, Anna Diorio, and more. Production comes courtesy of J57 (Action Bronson, Joey Badass, Method Man) and Bald Halfwit. Songs hit Troma's core themes-independent art, environmentalism-while sneaking in deep-cut references for the superfans. Cover art by Michael Gaughan (who did Troma posters before working with Nike, Diplo, Andrew WK). Plus Lloyd's directing a video because why not go full circle? Ready to get Tromatic?
