RA the Rugged Man Show - Oct 5, The Distillery Pub - September 21, 2008
RA the Rugged Man. If you don't come to this show you are against hip hop and everything that it stands for. So, chances are, if you're looking at this page you WILL be attending this show and I don't need to waste any more energy describing how savage this show will be. It's the perfect storm of rap.
Tickets $15 at Fameless, Giant 45, and Megatunes.
We got the physical version of Customer Appreciation Day coming out on August 30th - and we're throwing two oily fuckin parties for the occasion.
Calgary: August 30th at The Distillery, 839 5th Ave SW.
Edmonton: August 27th at The Velvet Underground.
After hearing about this crazy social networking website that is apparently "taking over the world", we decided reach for the stars and make a page of our own.
Customer Appreciation Day Sales Pitch - July 28, 2008
This is the message that we're going to send every radio station, magazine, newspaper, and porno website... in the world. It might work, but it will also alienate the losers - which is the plan.
"Lexington and Whatevski are not media friendly. Maybe they’d make it out of Alberta for once in their pathetic lives if they stopped kicking raps about Munchausen Biproxy and dipping their dicks in your drink. But we know that already, so here’s the bad news: “Customer Appreciation Day”, a full-length free-download on Hand’Solo Records. This album is the product of three greasy years spent bastardizing the art of hip hop and shotgunning Clear Creek Ice. Maybe all the dope features will make up for their utter lack of taste; the actual, for-sale album that they’re trying to promote is called “Preggers Can’t Be Choosers”. What the fuck is that?!
Lex and Evski are two lyrical rappers that blur the boundary between art and entertainment. Every single word that they utter is laboured over. And every single word is delivered with the ferocity of a tuberculosis induced coughing fit. Stylistically, they have a rough edge with a smooth and nourishing interior – kind of like a Lindmann’s Chocolate, but dipped in a homeless man’s sweat. Though “Customer Appreciation Day” is a compilation of album worthy songs, for some reason or other, these tracks did not make the final cut for Lex and Evski’s upcoming full-length, “Preggers Can’t be Choosers”. But if “CAD” is this good, imagine how bomb “Preggers” will be. Now imagine your wife having sex with your best friend. Have a nice day!

Lexington kicks a verse on Frantic Artillery's "Quote This RMX" - July 15, 2008
Lex n Evski Rocking Summer Fling - Saskatoon - July 5, 2008
This will undoubtedly be the best party of 2008. Expect us to be shirtless, picking fights with bouncers, spitting on women, starting beefs with random Saskatoon rappers, and shotgunning a SHITLOAD OF BEERS!!!
Lexington + Whatevski Meet Junk Yard Dog - June 16, 2008
Meet Junkyard takes you into the world of a regular guy who happens to have twelve children, three ex-wives, more scars than Christ, a lengthy criminal record, and been involved in two Vietnam tours. Junkyard has never had a bank account and he doesn’t have a phone, so sometimes he stops by his best pal Nato’s house to chat with friends. This episode, Junkyard talks with Calgary Alberta rap duo, Lexington and Whatevski. http://www.ugsmag.com
Foul Language Leaves Neighbour Speechless - May 30, 2008
This is a letter written by an angry citizen of Edmonton in response to Hip Hop at the Park. Too funny.
The Edmonton Journal
Published: 1:34 am
I live in a condo overlooking Louise McKinney Park and I enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the river valley.
Last Saturday at 1:00 p.m., I was "jolted" by loud speakers bouncing noise off the walls of our building from the stage in the park. The noise -- I cannot call it music -- was the start of what was called "hip-hop in the park."
It became apparent that the performances blasted across the area were a series of obscene renderings with the "f" word repeated often in angry verses relating to drugs, sex and other undesirable subjects.
I was forced to be exposed to this until after 9:00 p.m., during which time I was unable to hold a conversation with my dinner guests, who left early with a polite excuse, but probably were thinking I was in a not so nice neighbourhood.
I phoned the police several times and was told that these people in the park had permits and the police could do nothing. I asked if the permits included screaming obscenities in front of young children out for a walk with their parents, who seemed anxious to get them away as fast as possible.
I am a very liberal, easy-going person but this kind of disgusting activity, which was also accompanied by drugs and sex in the surrounding bushes, is totally unacceptable.
If this is our mayor's idea of revitalizing the downtown, I can't help but wonder what he is granting permission for next week and thereafter.
Our homie Gen with a G snapped some shots of us at the recent Hip Hop In the Park festival in Edmonton.
This photo of Epic shotgunning a beer was taken by Low Budget Affiliate's cult leader Addvice. Learn more about it in the Photo section son.

Hip Hop in the Park Mixtape - May 15, 2008
Our track, "Crackheads on Bikes", as well as tons of other Alberta rappers' songs are now available for free download on the Hip Hop in the Park Mixtape. Download the shit! http://www.zshare.net/download/117464277c273efd/
I fucked up though, I sent ID, the homie that's putting on the show, the wrong track. So if you think you are listening to "The Machine" by Lex n' Evski, you're actually listening to Crackheads on Bikes. Whatever, I'm a dumbass.
Hip Hop In the Park - Edmonton Hip Hop Festival - May 4, 2008

NEW ALBUM OUT SOON!!! - "Customer Appreciation Day" - May 1, 2008
We're putting out an album for download. And it's free! Just because we haven't released anything since oh-five does not mean we've been neglecting rap... she's been getting plenty of love. We basically came to the conclusion that we have enough material now, in 2008, to release about three albums. So we axed the weakest shit, gathered the tracks that don't really fit on the actual album (Preggers Can't Be Choosers), and now we're releasing them as a free download. Keep yo headz up, this is coming out reeaaal soon.

A cute thing to tell your buddy's little retarded brother. - September 4, 2007
You’re not human; your dad infected your mom with a sexually transmitted
parasite that grew inside her, feeding on everything she ate, breathing
the air that she breathed. For nine months you starved her of the
nutrition needed for survival, bringing her within inches of death until
finally, you burst out of her stomach like Kuato from Total Recall.
(My girlfriend and I have matching, life-sized Kuato tattoos on our
stomachs symbolizing true love and those other things that people say
their tattoos represent like power and honesty.)
