about

"Multi-instrumentalist and producer Joseph J Micolo III has had many aliases in the past, some of which included forays into the genres of hip hop and rap. GTRUK (a.k.a. GrumpTruck) was one of these aliases. Between the years of 2004-2015 he sporadically churned out sets of beats that were mostly influenced by horror-core, lo-fi, psychedelia, glitch, and the sound of 80s/90s NY styles. Prior to this, he produced beats of a rougher nature under the name The Commodore. AFTER the "death" of GTRUK, he set his sounds on the more futuristic elements of rap styles with the VAUS alias.

OK, now with that explained, MPDM is a mixtape containing 46 tracks chosen from the catalogs of all three of these aliases. NONE of these have actually had an official album release. A lot of them have floated in SoundCloud and other track streaming services previously, and before that even Myspace. This mix started as an experiment and then grew into the 100 minute long beast that it is."
