Well-known for his lyrics focused on absurd metaphors and surreal similes, Keith's oddness certainly aligns with continued collaborators Junkadelic Music as well as hip hop-punk amalgam Planet B, comprised of punk vocalist Justin Pearson (The Locust, Retox, Dead Cross) and double MPC- wielding Luke Henshaw (Sonido de la Frontera). After Keith's initial guest vocals on Planet B track "Crustfund", the duo have once again collaborated with the notorious rapper to create a blistering remix of his new track, "Blast". Where Junkaz Lou approaches the track with a more classic hip hop vibe, focused on bass-heavy percussion, punctuated by scratching and utilizing a notable Eazy-E sample from "Switchez", Pearson steps in to deliver the same lyrics with a bit more grit in the Planet B version - a literal auditory blast to the listener. On track "Uncrushable", Henshaw brings his sci-fi, horror-inspired beats as a dark background to Keith's vocals, with additional musicianship from Tenshun (Skrapez). The EP concludes with an unlikely but somehow perfect mashup of "Uncrushable" with hardcore supergroup Dead Cross (Mike Patton, Dave Lombardo, Justin Pearson, Mike Crain) track, "Church of the Motherfuckers." "When I shared the idea and track with Patton, he said, 'I love Keith, so to me it is a no-brainer,'" Pearson explains. "I have to say that I feel the same way. As odd as it is, it seems like a perfect match of musical absurdity, which is something this world needs."
