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. There are currently 4 (of 15) SOLD OUT Ultra-Limited Art Packages available, as well, which includes: "1 CHITDG CD, 1 "Purse Thieves" B/W "Elephant Tranq" 12-inch vinyl (sleeve "bombed" with artwork and slaps by various writers from Lords/UM all 1/1's), 2 CHITDG square pins, 1 of 60 original hand-made screen-prints of Eric Kneeland's album cover art, and 1 Lords/UM random sticker pack." According to Mega Kut's Facebook page, Luke Sick plans to release NOT ONE, BUT TWO brand spankin' new Grand Invincible projects, tentatively titled, The Results EP (All SP-404) & Demolition Strictly LP, dropping at some point throughout 2019.
