Today's post is an uncovered gem, The Goods' "Fifth Wheel" project from 2008!
The Goods is a Canadian duo comprised of Kunga 219 and Gordski. The duo has released projects dating back to the late 90s, leading into the early/mid 2000s. This project, "Fifth Wheel" is perhaps the most elusive.
From the little I can tell, "Fifth Wheel" was slated to be, appropriately, The Goods' fifth album. Camobear was set to release it in 2008 and dropped a music video for the lead single, "The Goods Must Be Crazy." Somewhere along the line for whatever reason, as often is the case in indie rap, the album never officially dropped...as far as I can tell. Yet here we are with a digital copy lol. Discogs says that the album was actually uploaded to Camobear's website for a couple weeks before disappearing. So maybe it did drop, just not for long?
Anyhow, here it is for those interested!
Is there anyway you can post Radioinactive's Fo Tractor reissue? If you can that'd be awesome. Apologies for posting this random comment here
ReplyDeleteProps for this one! Didn't expect to ever hear this. Got the previous 4 Goods albums on CD and was waiting this one to drop back in 2008 but news of it just seemed to vanish.
ReplyDeleteI had the exact same experience lol. Didn't even know this dropped at all until I saw this post on Friday.
DeleteI notice you said 4 albums. Did you have Goodnight Music Presents as well? I guess it's not technically The Goods, but if you're missing it I highly recommend.
Yeah man, I have that one too. Always see that as a label comp really but it has Goods folk on pretty much every track!
Deleteman same here! my mind was blown when i discovered this album existed. huge Goods fan myself and never knew about it. saw this listed on discogs one day and quite honestly thought it was a joke, cos the cover art seemed highly suspect. haha. but glad to know that it's real!
ReplyDeletebtw, kunga219 also made an album with DJ Moves in 2007 under the group name Horn. definitely check that out if you're a Goods fan. to my knowledge it's the last thing he's done and before this, it was the closest thing to a new Goods album for me.
