What better way to ring in the New Years than surrounded by friends and family, right? Well even better what if it was your Juggalo Family and closest homies from far and wide. Yet who would step up on stage to fill the bill? Psychopathic Records of course! The only people missing from the stage would end up being ICP, but this makes no matter because Twiztid, Blaze, and Boondox held that shit down tighter than a paperweight. The night was mad fresh, full of jiggalin’ Juggalos and a packed ass club waiting for the ball to drop.

First up was Pennsylvania’s own King Nasty. I know he has the commercials for the show up on the FLH site, but I never heard of this guy. In my opinion I was pretty happy not knowing about his music, but now that I do I can’t believe that he’s aloud to keep making it. I didn’t like his metaphors at all, I swear I heard him fall off beat a couple times, and he had to have a hype man who had no original lyrics of his own. They probably thought they were getting hype on stage, but it didn’t look like that from the crowd, the most they did was walk to the back of Peabody’s stage and grab a few blow up dolls amongst the dozens of free t-shirts they were throwing out as well.

Luckily his set was only a half hour long and it was hours before midnight so it gave time for the real freshness to set in. The set change between King Nasty and Psychopathic was 45 minutes to set up a simple backdrop banner that said “Psychopathic Records” across the top with a thousand hatchetmen in the background of it. Then the clock hit 10:30 P.M. the lights dimmed and the crowd erupted with chants and cheers because they knew what was coming.

First up off of PSY was the man straight up out the corn-stalks, Boondox. Along side with his hype man they schooled it with that hint of southern twang bumpin’ out tracks like ‘Sippin’, ‘Lake of Fire’, ‘Death of a Hater’, ‘Red Mist’, and ‘Seven’. He also did a shit load of other tracks that are finally getting rotation now that he has more than one album under his belt on the hatchet.

Then from the distant you hear a call from beyond and the bells rang out with ‘Real G Shit’ as Blaze over ran the stage and threw the crowd into a deadbody craze. There wasn’t even a set change between the Psychopathic acts, they just kept going right into the next set one right after the other to keep it continuous, non-stop flava to peel your wig backwards leaving it upside down. Blaze with no hype man in sight kicked his show alone then finally came Boondox’s hype man and filled the slot that ABK and the ROC have done before. With a set consisting of ‘Escape Artist’, ‘Shotgun’, ‘Casket’, ‘Juggalo Anthem’, and ‘Hood Ratz’ the deadbody man brought the funk from beyond and played it up on the main stage.

Then from out of no where came the music from one of the darkest tracks ‘Mutant X’ and before you knew it the demented duo, TWIIIIIIIIZZZZZTTTTIIIIIDDDDDD, hit the stage and verbally murdered everything. The got the weak shit out and lit the stage up like they were the match sparked to the can of gas. The crowd went nuts with a blood lust for Twiztid tracks. They did an awesome set, one that any Juggalo of any age would find more than fresh. ‘Bags’, ‘So High’, ‘2nd Hand Smoke’, ‘We Don’t Die’, ‘Renditions of Reality’, ‘Hom Sha Bom’, and ‘Karma’. They check the time and realize the ball was dropping so all 5 MC’s got out on stage with a bottle of bubbly and began the count down. Once the clock hit one bottles were popped and “Woop Woops!” were screamed out. With the New Years music playing over the speakers slowly came a track. Quiet at first but then pushing the conventional music out the way the beat to ‘Juggalo Family’. It was a dope ass way to close out a FUCKIN FRESH ASS show, then on top of it all they said “We got a gift for y’all!” Then going to the back of the stage they started throwing discs at the crowd saying over the PA system, “New Single off of our new CD, W.I.C.K.E.D. out March 17!!!” The crowd freaked out and began to scatter, almost wrestling/fighting over the singles hitting the floor.
