It feels like forever since Big Baby Scumbag graced the cover of Creative Loafing Tampa Bay (in April, we decided the Tampa rapper was the coronavirus hero we all needed—we stand by that). Well, Mr. “Black Joe Dirt” is back with www.flexedupshawty.com, a 13-track homage to your dial-up internet connection.

The intro (“Scumweb 98’”) plays like the Windows OS startup tone, and the rest of the 27-minute party finds Scumbag joined by an army of friends—Valentino Khan, Michael Chirstmas, Sunny Fritz, CadyCutThroat, Rahn Rahn $plash—as they stomp through aggressive beats and bars that make you want to jump off the top rope and suplex your little brother through the kitchen table. I’ve also never heard cunnilingus and ramen noodles come together in such a dancefloor-ready fashion (“Bobby Hill”).

Definitely visit the website to play a few rounds of “Minesweeper,” too.

Tampa Bay venues and promoters need you to bug Marco Rubio about saving the live music scene.
