Eight Gigs: Blaze Ya Dead Homie

Michigan rapper Blaze Ya Dead Homie presumably died in the 1980s, yet he continues to tour post mortem. The conceit of Blaze Ya Dead Homie is side-show horrorcore rap performed by a reincarnated gang member, his Lazarus return bearing resemblance to the clown-faced Insane Clown Posse and their Juggalo faithful. The decision to be undead came while appearing on a Twiztid record in 1999 and led to Blaze Ya Dead Homie’s signing to Psychopathic Records. Eight albums later, Blaze Ya Dead Homie has played many Gatherings of the Juggalos and is headlining The Casket Factory Tour. 9426 Greenback Lane in Orangevale, www.blazeyadead1.com.
