G.T.F.O.M.D.: There's Not Enough Room for All You Motha Fuckas to Be on It Like This [DB$B, 2019]
"Nothing more dangerous than a nigga with a library card" ("My Dick Too Small," "Mouzone Brothers") *

Attack of the Future Shocked, Flesh Covered, Meatbags of the 85 [DB$B, 2020]
Well-read anti-vax herbalist with more women problems than women need ain't Chuck D because he loves to say "nigga" and fuck you if you wish he wouldn't ("Weesnaawwww," "Did You Getcho Check, Lih Brah?" "Snort Ashwagandha") **

I Don't Give a Fuck About This Rap Shit, Imma Just Drop Until I Don't Feel Like It Anymore [DB$B, 2022]

"Endoplasm reticular within cytoplasm." "I've been trying to rock this spliff since a bar back." "Labeled 'uncivilized' by a civilization participating in cannibal genocide. Any takers for Negro soup?" A-
