"Medusa" arrives as the world premiere of the official video for a track from "The Ugly," the cult underground release by the BenchWarmers Clique — Travisty the Lazy Emcee and Joka Wild. The album is being reissued for its tenth anniversary as a limited cassette and CD edition through Mad Good Records, complete with bonus instrumentals. The original feature cast includes Reks, Dynas, The Llamabeats, Epidemic, and Iron Ora, with all production handled by Jewbei and 1914. The project frames itself clearly: made for the overlooked, the worn-down, the "uncomely masses" — the opposite of polished mainstream rap. This late-drop of the visual is less marketing move, more curatorial care for an underground classic.
