You know, I had seen a video of his a while back, sent to me as a joke by my best friend's husband.

He and I have this mutual troll society going on. It's part of why I love the guy lol.

Anyway, sometimes we surprise each other. And I was verysurprised by this one. C.O.M.B., and if you can't guess that it is very nsfw buy the way I led into this, be warned. COMB ain't about being well coiffed.

He has another track that's even more provocatively titled, enough to that I'm not willing to risk a ban for typing it out and it being misunderstood, but with that as a warning, It is not as bad as you'd think from the title

Anyway, back to the mini story. Unlike when I send my buddy links to hick-hop or death metal with cutesy jokes, I actually kinda liked Conde. A bit over the top, but the dude has flow, and the unabashed embrace of his sexuality is a cool thing to see having grown up in the eighties and watched gay rights go from non existent to gay marriage being not just legal, but mostly accepted.

His other stuff is much less aggressively provocative.

But it's still a running joke that Conde is my new secret lover, and that I'm going to leave my wife for him after seeing COMB.

I'm just legit amazed that the guy is news for the Rolling Stone site. He's not exactly well known. Only reason I've even heard of him was that video making the rounds as a joke among the local gay community, and me being known for a pretty fucking magnificent beard, making it a natural pick to send to me as the next hip-hop artist I would be hyping.
