Producer evilgiane and Atlanta rapper Slimesito have released EVILSLIME 2, the sequel to their 2024 joint project EVILSLIME. The album arrived on October 30, 2026 through Surf Gang Records via Decent Distribution, and it is built for speed: nine tracks in 16 minutes, with no outside vocal features, just the producer and the rapper locked in.

The campaign was led by GEORGIA STATE, released October 26, co-produced by evilgiane and Eera, with a video directed by Braden Farias. The full tracklist runs GEORGIA STATE, LIK ROCKY, POP HIS TOP, LAST FOREVER, INCOGNITO, BEEN SHININ, BAL MAIN, MF DOOM and WEST 2 EAST, a set of titles that signals exactly what the record delivers, short bursts of menace and momentum over evilgiane’s warped, sample driven production.

The first EVILSLIME established the pairing as one of the most distinctive in the underground, evilgiane’s production bending video game textures and soul samples around Slimesito’s cool, unbothered delivery. The sequel keeps the formula tight and refuses to pad. Sixteen minutes leaves no room for filler, and the two artists treat brevity as a weapon, each track arriving, landing its punch and clearing the way for the next. Slimesito marked the release weekend in costume for Halloween, leaning into the EVILSLIME name. For fans of the Surf Gang world, EVILSLIME 2 is a focused reminder of why this partnership works: one producer, one voice, no distractions. Its arrival on Halloween weekend gave the sequel a launch that matched its name, and the record is streaming now on all platforms.

Detroit rapper Boldy James and producer Real Bad Man have released Strobelight, their fourth full length album together. The project arrived on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, with 12 tracks running about 39 minutes, produced entirely by Real Bad Man. It launched as a Bandcamp exclusive, and its first vinyl pressing is limited to 1,980 copies.

The partnership has become one of the most reliable in underground rap. Strobelight follows Real Bad Boldy, Killing Nothing and Conversational Pieces, and it sits alongside the Come Back Around EP the pair released with dreamcastmoe in April 2025. This time the guest list stays lean, with appearances from Wiki, El Cousteau, Grip and Taj, each slotted into the record’s smoky, cinematic frame rather than piled on for attention.

The album also has an unusual backstory. Its songs began life during the sessions for the original trilogy, then were finished between December 2025 and March 2026, giving Strobelight the feel of both a lost chapter and a new statement. Boldy remains one of rap’s most prolific workers, yet his records with Real Bad Man hold a special place in his catalogue, the producer’s dusty, off kilter loops matching the rapper’s calm, precise menace bar for bar. Strobelight is out now for streaming and download, with the limited vinyl pressing giving collectors a physical piece of the run. And there is more on the way: Boldy has already announced his next LP, Bentayga Genesis, for November 13, proof that one of rap’s hardest working runs shows no sign of slowing down.
