Grand Invincible Announce First-ever Digital Re-issues of COLD HAND IN THE DICE GAME & WINTER 365 EP (Megakut Records)
Grand Invincible is a California-based 2-man Hip-Hop crew featuring emcee Luke Sick and esteemed producer/turntablist DJ Eons One. Luke Sick AKA J. Luke Oakson & Clell Miller owns and operates Punk/Hip-Hop imprint, Megakut Records. While DJ Eons One AKA Dan Lactose was once a founding member of Hip-Hop-loving Powerviolence band, SPAZZ and has his own small-batch imprint called Tinted Windows Record Co. Both DJ Eons One & Luke Sick have released countless records under an infinite amount of aliases, but together, they've released three albums and three singles/EP's as Grand Invincible between about 2008-15. Ask The Dust (2008) was self-released by Grand Invincible themselves, 2010's COLD HAND IN THE DICE GAME was released on Zero Friends, and Menace Mode was released on super-limited cassette by Luke's own Megakut Records. Amidst this aforementioned series of releases, Luke Sick & DJ Eons One unleashed WINTER 365 as both a 2-track 7-inch and expanded 9-track CD-R EP on SPAZZ drummer Max "625" Ward's 625 Thrashcore, a Megakut cassingle with "Go Fast Boats" B/W "Napalm," and "Purse Thieves" & "The Style Is Bonkers" B/W "Elephant Tranq" 12-inch on Zero Friends. Now, nearly 10 years later, Luke Sick & DJ Eons One have once again, joined forces—their self-tilted CCCRRCCSSLLRRKKRRSSS CD-R was unleashed in 2017—for proper re-issues/re-releases of both Grand Invincible's COLD HAND IN THE DICE GAME & WINTER 365 EP.
Earlier this week, Megakut Records announced plans to release Grand Invincible's beloved 2010-12 short-run releases digitally for the first time ever; "the G.I. movement [is] based on the philosophy that Hip-Hop as an artform was best served under the technological limitations of the late 80's and early 90's and the best Hip-Hop records were made made using records," boasts a newly-minted Bandcamp description. Megakut Records' WINTER 365 digital re-issue features 2 tracks from the original 2012 625 Thrashcore orange 7-inch, as well as 5 previously unreleased songs and 2 BONUS instrumentals, all from the Megakut CD EP. Grand Invincible's COLD HAND IN THE DICE GAME is currently available digitally for the first time ever on Megakut Records' Bandcamp page; G.I.'s sophomore album is, also, still available in the original 2010 Zero Friends CD version complete with a fold-out screen-printed poster of artist Eric Kneeland's "full-octopus" print.
