The Comic Sads of 2d6
This music and comical artists has been on the scene since 2011 with the release of 2d6's first album. The Comic Sads is a solo vanity project by 2d6 anchor Cliff B, theatrically diving into the deepest recesses of his mind. Combining the comedic styles displayed through 2d6 with the murk and mire of depression and anxiety, The Comic Sads seeks to take the audience through a whirlwind of theatrical art rap swirled together with nerdy comedy rap. The one thing you can expect, there will be words that rhyme performed rhythmically. |
