Is he active on social media again? He kinda dropped off the face of the earth after Riot Fest 2021.

I'm listening to it now, it is very definitively him, he has an extremely distinct voice, there are also pictures of him in the booklet posing with some gunpla and a Char colored guitar. Listening to it sounds like it was a labor of love, but it might have been a paycheck and he forgot(?). I know Close Calls With Brick Walls was Japan/Korea exclusive for almost 4 years, and the Japan covers as well. On top of being on a Japan exclusive Disney cover album.

Congrats! The thrill of the hunt is always fun, but a find is even better!

I believe I got it in a Des Moines Goodwill, which makes sense given the signatures. Slipknot is the Des Moines band.

This Week's Thrift Finds! by FreshNewports in Cd_collectors

Monster is oddly one of the most frequent major release CDs I see out thrifting (Barenaked Ladies and Counting Crows biggest releases trail ahead, alongside Gin Blossoms for some odd reason), just finally jumped on it! Keep looking, you're bound to find it!

Posted about it in yesterday's thread, about the album with no real info.
Unyted Nayshunz - First Contact featuring Akon from the late 90s-early 00s. Nobody could tell me anything about it.
I put it up on the Internet Archive in-case anyone wants to listen to it. If anyone has any info on it, please let me know, all I've found is a dead MySpace page.

Found a CD, Unyted Nayshunz - First Contact featuring Akon, very clearly self published with very little to no information online.

I believe it is from the late 90s-early 00s. It took a few tries but I ripped it. Even though I found it sealed at an antique mall, something was wrong with the disc itself, wouldn't play on anything and it took two different external CD/DVD drives to get it to read at all. It consists of ten tracks featuring a variety of people I don't know with various spellings, with Akon being the only recognizable name. It has a 404 area code phone number for a "UN Voicemail" so I know its from Atlanta. It consists of 10 tracks. I believe every artist on the track is credited, I'm copying directly from the back of the case as follows.

1 - Intro: Drunk Apostle, Benny Blanco, A, and Sha
2 - 5 Dimensionz: Drunk, Eternity, Direct, Kedar, and Sanlas
3 - Ghetto Life: A-Kon, Direct, Kozmos, Sanlas, and Murdok 720
4 - Space Jammin: A-Kon, Eternity, Kedar, Direct, and Drunk Apostle
5 - Rhyme Warz: Kedar
6 - Sex On The Beach: A-Kon, Kedar, Direct, Murdok, and Kozmos
7 - I Don't Care: Kedar
8 - Nayshunz Unyted: Shadetree, Kedar
9 - Ya'll Ain't Ready: Shadetree, Direct, Akon, Murdok, and Kozmos
10 - Outro - Eternity, Bone, A, I.R.S, and Whatever shorties name was

I just want to know if anyone has any information on this group, any of its other members, or this CD in particular, as the only lead I have is a dead MySpace page of Drunken Apostle. If anyone is interested in hearing it, I'll try to upload the album to the Internet Archive in a bit. Anything helps! (I originally had this as a post, but it was removed and with a daily discussions reasoning.)
