A Square Meal: ‘Tuberz McGee and the Sudden Realisation that his Life is an Endless 9-5 Grind’ by Tuberz Mcgee

Years keep passing through and if it wasn’t obvious enough, we get no younger. We’ve lost interest, hopes, and dreams as time flies away and we have to keep going on with life –that mess of a life that was spiced with some silliness to make it bearable. Well, most of us. I got too personal there. Have we lost the touch? Are we too old for this? Not quite yet I guess, we’re just too busy, and we can’t keep two-timing forever. We need the money.

During this period of silence in which the closest thing to prose I wrote were sporadic work emails, I reached a point where I just felt like I was living an eternal Monday. I’m sure we all have this feeling at one moment, but I didn’t have a way to let that out. Fortunately, the always awesome Tuberz Mcgee found the words, the chords, and the perfect rhythm to catalyze those emotions into his new album! So come with me and let’s take a look over ‘Tuberz McGee and the Sudden Realisation that his Life is an Endless 9-5 Grind’.

While chipmusic production – at a national level – has been slow in recent years, 2019 left us with an interesting work by one of the most prominent names around here. You may have listened to something by him before – I’m talking about 4 For Fake. Responsible for a vast amount of DMG mods and with a notable musical background, this technological laudator brings to us his first album made entirely in HoustonTracker 2. So let’s take a look at ‘Insect_Byte’ by 4 For Fake.
