3 mins read

Chaos runs deep through nascar aloe’s veins on his next studio album, AUDIO SHRAPNEL, out June 26 on Epitaph Records. Nascar shares his latest single and video for the abrasive UNCLE SAM,’ a punk, experimental rap fusion of distorted 808s and frenetic speedcore. It’s a jolt of controlled mayhem—precisely the kind his cult following thrives on, and a promise of louder ruptures to come.

Watch the music video for UNCLE SAM’ featuring a sneak preview of DISTANT (INTERLUDE).’

Nascar Aloe – ‘UNCLE SAM’

AUDIO SHRAPNEL is a record humming with volatile intent, a mix of what nascar would call “aggressive rap, insubordination, speedcore, 808punk,” or even “RADIO STATION OBLITERATION.” Culminating from a time of despair, change, and grief, AUDIO SHRAPNEL is a testament to where he is as an artist and where we are as a society. Through aggressive, erratic vocalisation, nascar crudely delivers lines condemning genocide, the military-industrial complex, and politically toeing the line, revealing the album is, “something that paints that dilapidated picture of the world through nascar’s eyes, truly.”

Following 2024’s SPEED, AUDIO SHRPANEL finds nascar sharpening his skills and honing in on the genres that he helped define and blur the lines of. Like most of his records, nascar found creativity in unbridled anger, from “fits of drunken anger” to the sobering, clearer, more refined bits you hear in BABY’ and 1901-D.’ The synth-punk manifestos denounce the political hellfire in the US, with nascar screaming “AMERICAN LIES, FED TO THE, FED TO THE, FED TO THE RIGHT, RED ON YOUR HANDS TIL YOU’RE DEAD OUT OF SIGHT,” on the out-front MAGA (MORE AMERICAN GRAVES AMMEDIATELY).’

The LA-based Cambodian American artist has been a polarising figure in the underground rap scene since 2018, steadily cultivating a community that embraces his brilliantly pissed-off POV. Now equipped with a catalog of four EPs, two full-length albums, nascar has amassed over 250 million streams to date.
