Slipknot's Sid Wilson launches Vomit Face Records, signs Lil Bushwick

Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson has launched Vomit Face Records, already home to several artists, including Houston rapper Lil Bushwick, son of Geto Boys legend Bushwick Bill.

The label's debut single is Lil Bushwick's "Take It Back", produced by DJ Lethal (Limp Bizkit, House of Pain) and featuring an unreleased verse from Bushwick Bill, who died in 2019.

In a statement, Wilson shares how he linked up with the legendary "Size Ain't Shit" rapper and how it manifested into a deal with his son:

"Bushwick Bill and I had made a promise to each other to make an album. After several roadblocks in scheduling, Bill sadly, and unfortunately, passed away due to illness most were unaware of. In meeting his son and discovering that he too was a music artist, I made a promise to the spirit of the great Bushwick, that I would fulfill our pact by producing an album for his son. We did just that, and through the help of a dear friend DJ Lethal, we were able to add an unreleased track of Bill’s, and I’m proud to say, we made the impossible possible for this iconic hip-hop lineage of father and son."

Lil Bushwick adds:

"Being able to collaborate with my pops 6 years after his passing brings me a different type of joy. Hearing his voice again speaking life and expressing himself just as I remembered takes me back to the simpler times. I know he’d be proud of how I approached each verse my own way. He was always big on being yourself and I’ll forever be that. Long live Chuckwick 4L."

Other artists signed to Vomit Face include Wilson, J57, DEAD X HEDZ, Rome Fortune, Ricardo Grimm, and Mars Black. No other music has yet to be released.

Lil Bushwick's upcoming self-titled debut, Lil Bushwick, drops October 31, opening with his father's iconic "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" line: "This year Halloween fell on a weekend." Narrated by Bushwick Bill, the album pays tribute to the spirit of a hip-hop pioneer while cementing a new path forward.

"This project shows my diversity as an artist," says Lil Bushwick. "It pushes the envelope musically and experiments with sounds I never thought I’d rap on. It takes you through every emotion and brings you into the mind & life of Bushwick."
